Hi there all,


Juut wanted to remind everyone to be safe and secure. Whilst I was at work yesterday our ground floor flat on Barry Road was burgled.


They came in through the ground floor kitchen window. We have new double glazed windows which were locked - but they still crowbarred their way in. They took two laptops and some irreplaceable jewellery that was not even worth that much money but holds a lot of sentimental value...


The police advised us to make sure it was harder to get around the back of the house, and to hide laptops and valuables, so just passing this on.


They also said that whilst there are not too many burglaries in ED, there have been a couple recently on Barry Road.


Take care all.


Sophie.

How awful. You poor things.


Maybe for peace of mind you should get a monitored alarm fitted. Direct Security are a good company based in Sydenham. I've used them for over 10 years and would highly recommend them and their rates are reasonable. I hope I'm allowed to put this link here but here are their contact details. http://www.directsecurity.net/Contactus.html

Terrible news. Any prints? With all these incidents gong on, you'd think the police would be more on point, but seems they've got better things to do. Last year our own house was completely ransacked on Underhill Road, no one saw a thing. No prints, nothing. Happened very similar to yours, through the ground floor kitchen window. They actually dragged the brown garden bin to the window and used it as a thing to climb on. They then knocked down the back fence and made their escape via lordship lane (again no cctv, despite searching though hours worth). This seems to a a prevalent tactic these days, the back garden kitchen thing.

I don't think it's nuts at all. Barry Road is clearly a regular target. With ED Police Station closing down and the police being too busy with other things to actually come over for a burglary incident when you need them (as in my case), I think cameras are a marvellous idea.

Hi there


Thanks all for your good wishes.. They may break my window but not my spirit!!


Sorry to say that there were no prints.. I have to commend the police who were round really quickly and were really supportive, as were the safer neighbourhood team who visited us the next day to advise as too how we could step up the security.


WhoopDeDoop - your experience sounds terrible. Hope you are ok and back to normal at home..


Take care,


Sophie.

I'd go for cameras! Though I suppose you might hear the nuts crunching as they walk into your garden and they are cheaper!

We live near the top of Barry Road and my neighbour got burgled at night about 2 weeks ago when he was sleeping. He had his expensive car stolen too.


They came through the front door which should have been double locked, but wasn't. The next door neighbour has a dog too, but no-one heard anything.


I've got the same type of door, so you can bet I'm double locking mine after what happened to my neighbour, even during the day.


The police have said there is a rise in burglaries in the area recently.

      a) Because they published a leaflet in Urdu promising to give "Muslims a strong voice". This is reprehensible - just as a party that promised to give Protestants or Jews or Buddhists alone "a strong voice" would be acting in a sectarian manner. Parties - especially socialist ones like the English & Welsh Greens are now - should not be assymetrically promoting the interests of one religious group. b) Because they published a video in Urdu and Bangla criticising Kier Starmer for meeting Narendra Modi, when Modi has nothing to do with the issues discussed. Modi is a Hindu nationalist bigot - but in this context, the Greens are just shitstirring existing tensions between British Hindus and British Muslims for the purpose of trying to win Muslim votes - see the first point. FWIW I don't have any problem with parties communicating with the electorate in languages other than English (from Irish to Polish to Malayalam). What is very suspicious is when parties pump out sectarian messages only in one language... When Mamdani ran for Mayor of NYC (and won) he released plenty of campaign videos in multiple languages - but always with English subtitles too. There was never a suggestion he was sending different, sectarian messages to different groups.     https://uk.news.yahoo.com/why-greens-made-advert-urdu-164616073.html https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/uk/uk-green-party-accused-of-sectarianism-after-releasing-videos-in-urdu-and-bangla-featuring-pm-modi-and-gaza/articleshow/128826689.cms

      @Sue the Green's campaign video showing Keir Starmer shaking hands with Modi and David Lammy shaking hands with Netanyahu is one such example.  As I say, I don't know the organisation, but I would expect election observers to only report after polls have closed. To do otherwise could be perceived as interfering in the election. They might need to check patterns across multiple polling stations. Any public criticism by an independent observer mid-poll could discourage participation and could be interpreted as campaigning. Much safer / more robust to check observations and release after the event.  Sorry - those posts merged. Not intended.

      Could you be more specific as to how "the Greens have practiced this on a far more significant scale in Gorton and Denton"? How exactly did they "try to exploit ethic tensions"?
