Interesting- the reason why 'could have' etc turned, incorrectly, into 'could of' is because of the use of the contraction...'could've' which sounds like 'could of'.....anyway...sad times for everyone

Maybe the person who was stabbed was breaking and entering and the police feel the people who injured him did so in self defence and are not a threat to any other members of the public. The Southwark News report says the couple who were arrested had reported "forced entry and assault". Who knows? this is just my reading of the story.

Aren't the rules for bail completely separate to the crime committed - I forget. About likelihood to abscond or commit another offence etc.

    • Yes they do, but that is not the core tenet of representative democracy. At that level, we are voting for a parliamentary representative, irregardless of whether parties exist or not. It's why candidates can stand as independents. 
    • Sadly I think you will never convince people like this. They think gardens have to be kept chopped back and controlled. My theory is that this comes from being (or trying to be) controlling in every aspect of their lives, so I doubt if anything you could say or show them would have any effect. But are they actually coming into your garden or leaning over into it and pulling up/damaging things? If so, maybe one of our community police people could have a word with them?
    • Dear Nature lovers - advice please. I am being harassed by a neighbour who doesn't like my standard of gardening which she calls 'messy'. (I have rewilded my garden with advice from the London Wildlife Trust and a gardening expert from The Times.) I have twice caught this neighbour and her husband pulling up my plants and damaging my trees. Plus she has photographed my house, and sent a dozen complaints to the Dulwich Estate about my plan to rewild the verge outside my property - approved by the Estate some 4 years ago in line with their stated policy of supporting biodiversity in and around Dulwich. What can I do to introduce these neighbours  to the benefits to us all of returning a portion of our gardens to nature?
