The police have cordoned off a road, it's more than likely to be serious - which it was - the police don't generally waste their time. Doesn't take much intelligence to figure that out. Creditwheredue and Humdinger should find better things to do with their time than pathetic attempts at humour.
Creditwheredue. Read that as bankrupt. Humdinger. You are the antithesis of that. You would have both shit yourselves if you had been in that position. Just crawl back underneath your duvets and release the pause on your daytime TV. Hopefully it's you next time. Twats.

How is the person who was stabbed? Really hoping he was not seriously hurt.

But then not so long ago you posted on here saying you would not walk anywhere near the Gowlett at night.


Get a grip!


Now do you see what I mean. It's NOT safe

ETA:- I hope the person who was attacted is Ok.

@Dulwichfox I think its really out of order piggybacking this thread in order to support your small minded bigoted viewpoint about Peckham.

Muggings and stabbings are sadly a London-wide problem and happen in every postcode.

DF you are exploiting this sad event to support your own biased view of this area. We are in that vicinity and your description bears no resemblance to the reality. How do you suggest residents, particularly women, visitors etc get around and live their lives without walking? You really do need to widen your perspective and leave the Lordship Lane bubble occasionally.

Shameless point scoring first


Thoughts for victim an afterthought

oh no, i've upset some keyboard warriors here, havent i? Alas! Im not even sure how to respond to that, i think you need to get yourself down to Dulwich Hamlet or something, and release some of your shock and outrage in a more productive manner.


Hissy fits aside (grow up!), thats a pretty savage thing to happen on a relatively quiet street. Surprised it hasnt made the news though, its a bit of a sad indictment of how common this thing probably is in South London.

Whether something is reported or not depends very much on (a) the actual severity of the incident (we believe there was an attack and stabbing from kjet2's post, we do not know the severity of the injury); (b) what else was happening at the time which might have eclipsed this incident and © whether any reporter could get sufficient information to stand the story up so that it was newsworthy. Often reports of attacks/ muggings are only reported on later, after briefing etc. from the police.


It is quite wrong to assume that no immediate media pick-up implies that such events are either trivial or too common to bother about locally. I have lived in South London since 1975 - and in ED for the last 30 years+ - and my impression is that casual street violence (with peaks and troughs over that time) is considerably less than it used to be - although as an old person I feel less threatened anyway (and am far less likely to be).


Nevertheless the growing trope of the 'blood-soaked streets of ED and Peckham' (certainly as a growing or unchanging phenomenon) needs challenging.

I am not taking advantage of this situation to point score.


I'm trying to say just how serious a situation we have in the area.


Talking to people in the area... in the street... shops and pubs (and I do a lot of that)

there is a lot more of this going that ever gets reported.

Maybe not stabbings but certainly Street Robberies, Shop Lifting, Car Break-ins, Car and Motorbike Theft,

Bicycle Theft, Burglaries....


This may be going on elsewhere but I am concerned about MY area. It is up to people elsewhere

to sort out their area where they live.


The problem here in East Dulwich and Peckham is the Denial that a problem exists

and how nice and safe the area is. It is NOT safe. and do not tell me to get a grip.

Talk to people, Talk to your neighbours, talk to shopkeepers.. Find out what is happening in the area.


One of my elderly neighbours was turned over and robbed in the Aylsham Centre Peckham a month or so ago.

This was by a gang of 'professional' known criminals from Eastern Europe acting in pairs.

I-In broad daylight.


Some of my elderly neighbours are afraid to go out especially at night.

There are no Police around on foot. They are all driving around in Fast Cars.


DulwichFox

Dulwich Fox, if you want to take this thread down that road, I suggest you start another thread.


You are diverting attention from one incident which is the subject of this thread, and I'm sure others as well as me would like to know how the victim is, and would prefer not to read your scaremongering.


ETA: As you appear to think this whole area is so unsafe, I can't understand why you continue to live here.

Hi Sue, he'll be out of hospital in a few days. Was very close though. I don't think it's appropriate to go into all the details, but the police caught two or more people soon after (they are alleged to have also mugged people in Denmark Hill and Peckham earlier that evening). I just hope they get their just comeuppance.

Thank you for this.


I hope he makes a full physical (and emotional) recovery and that the people responsible are found guilty and punished (or treated) appropriately.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
