Kidkruger - Your post is as unhelpful and as full of assumptions as those defending the protesters.


I'm interested that having seen pictures of the protests yesterday on twitter, there were a lot of middle aged mothers standing outside that shop. I don't think that's a group that would protest without consideration just to go along with a mob mentality.


There may be some unsavoury elements creeping into the protest- ignorant banners and racist shouts - but I think there could definitely be two sides to this story.

and when taken with the rest of KK's contribution on this thread (s)he's clearly (and maybe proudly) racist/ignorant/illogical

he assumes (without any facts that he's willing to share):


that the victim of a beating is a "wannabe gangster who's never worked for anything himself"


that "profiling" black people (seemingly as a whiole) as the perpetrators of crime is reasonable and that it's useful to ask khan's which group they get "poncing, thieving and intimidation from" (again assuming that it reasonable to make generalisations about ethnic groups


that "basically some bruvvas tried to bully the Khan's staff and got owned, they're used to getting their way through rough talk and intimidation but they fell short this time" and "brought-up on gangster hip-hop and dominating people"


and in general there's a general refusal to believe any allegations made by black people here (given the above stereotypes) even tho he doesn't claim to know any facts


if think that racism must be associated with supporting "white british skinheads" may be you're pretty naive yourself

Well come on - what REALLY happened in the 'event' which the initial posters were trying to portray as unprovoked 'racist' attacks on poor innocent lads just trying to get a fair deal.

The guys in Khans have a different story, ask them yourself if you are interested.

The point I'm making all along is that the race card is being played right from the start.

If there was any hidings they weren't for nowt. There was at very least some build-up and history.

Earlier I said there was more to this story - I'm glad BB now recognises this may be the case.

There's assumptions being made all over the place, surely I'm allowed a couple myself you big dafties, but no it's so much cheaper to play the card innit !

you say "assumption", i say "prejudice"


either way it seems that you admit you've drawn your conclusions without much reference to "facts"

there needn't be only one set of prejudiced people here

I just want to say that when I was talking to some of the protesters, who were mainly middle aged women as Bellenden Belle has stated, I didn't hear or see any of the racist placards or shouts mentioned above.


I'd be interested to see some evidence of that.


The pecking order of immigrants mentioned above is exactly what I think is happening in Peckham Rye, plus the fact (from one of the shopkeepers own account) that people who used to give other Asian shopkeepers trouble didn't understand that they are Afghan and always fight back.


That is fair enough, I would never advocate taking crap from anyone, but it is my understanding that after the big battle last year between the Afghan shopkeepers and the Peckham Youths gang, the Peckham Rye shopkeepers have taken the tacit approval of the police as permission to continue to inflict violence on black youths as a whole, which is out of order and needs to be stopped.

There are some troubling parallels here with the Lozells riots of 2005. I suggest posters consider very carefully what they post here. Unfounded rumours and hyperbole on discussion forums played an incendiary role in the lead up to the Lozells riots. So not a time for Internet blowhard-ery.

"... on black youths a whole..." Really? Or just those youths that get into an altercation with them? That in itself would of course be undesirable, but to suggest they're in a war against all black youths is ridiculous hyperbole.

Yeah maybe I'll apply for a job in Khan's so I can join their initiative of singling-out innocent young men to beat up.

Give me a break.

There's slightly more than zero facts earlier in this thread, it gets the stick it deserves, for trying to stir-up hatred against the Afghans by labelling them with cheap insults.

They won't be pushed around so swallow it and leave them alone.

I've met many middle aged mothers who are very forthright when they perceive that their not-so-little darlings are being wronged and they are not necessarily willing to consider the other side of the story. So the fact that they are there BB does not indicate to me that they have not been sucked into the mob mentality. During the riots there were mothers urging their offspring to go into JB sports and get some free trainers.

you asked me a question - albeit rudely and with a stupid illustration of why KK wasn't racist (in your opinion) (although he admits himself that he's made assumptions about people, seemingly based on racial stereotypes)


i answered


so why can't you respond to any of the substance of what's been said rather than going on about looking 'enlightened'? what does that mean anyway?

even when the assumptions are that the black victim of a beating (or their supporters)is a "bruvva" "wannabe gangster who's never worked for anything himself" and who is "used to getting their way through rough talk and intimidation" and "brought-up on gangster hip-hop and dominating people"


you think that this is ok?


and anyway i said racist or ignorant or illogical - and i reckon that at least 2 of these three are probably true based on this thread

That is a stereotype, but stereotypes always exist for a reason, and to deny that there are quite a few youths that fit that description in that area is just denial.


Was it definitely someone like that? No, and KK probably should not assume.


Is there a reasonable chance it was someone like that? Yes!


This whole thread is based on assumptions and rumour, and I think I'll leave it now, because there is a nasty undertone starting to surface.

You have to stereotype things, there are types,styles,peoples,so on and so forth,to get hysterical over a word is really stupid its a desribing word not a rascist word.

Lets use the English language in its true meaning form.

Like very angry shopkeepers taking the law in their own hands and very peed off assualted customer wanting fair play.

Simple.

KK was sticking his neck out a bit. There is of course no evidence to suggest that the victim here is involved in gang culture. It's not a deduction I would have made.


But the really worrying stuff in this thread is the implication that Afghans are violent, racist people who go around beating the crap out of innocent black teenagers for the hell of it. People should be pulling LadyD up on this gross generalisation.

    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them
