Upon my early morning walk just now, I saw an incident in Peckham Rye Park (pretty much 7am exactly). It was in the middle of the large patch of grass in the eastern side of the park, in the middle of where football matches are normally played.


A man ? mid 40?s with shaved head, dark clothes and small black dog


A woman, possibly older, - greenish coat and small brown/orange dog


Not sure 100% how it started, but it seems something happened between the dogs. The man gets pretty aggressive and is remonstrating quite a bit with the woman, shouting things I couldn?t hear. She (impressively) seemed to stand her ground, and perhaps argued back.


Another male dog walker would have seen the start of the incident, seemed to look at them for a bit, before moving on.


I was around the perimeter of the park, but kept in a place where I could see them. I was reluctant to go over, as I?d had a previous incident with the man 18 months ago (long story short- I'd pressed charges which were dropped) and believe my presence would only have antagonised the situation.


Fortunately, a park warden (I think he was a warden as he had an orange jacket) went over. It seemed to eventually calm down with his intervention, and I decided to leave.


Just to say, I hope the woman is ok. If she wants a witness to what happened, she knows where to find me, as it's completely unacceptable for a man to act that way to a woman in broad daylight. I'll separately mention it to the park warden.

Unbelievably, saw the same guy again today (in roughly the same place).


He made a beeline for me, and I climbed over the fence to the fenced-off no dogs picnic area. He then starts shouting at some nearby women.


I'll notify the authorities, but just warning people on early morning walks in the park to be vigilant.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......

      Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.

      Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.

      The economy, a sensible debate in advance of the budget

      @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?
