Help the Met police our roads -- the volunteer holds the speedgun, the policeman writes down the car details. See attachment for Werner's testimonial. Speedwatch is good fun.

Pedestrians are (understandably) very friendly and encouraging. Car and lorry drivers, not so much. I was surprised how much aggro the police are offered by drivers

You can join in. The August schedule is attached. To express an interest email [email protected]. He will be glad to hear from you and will try and sort out a time and date which suits you. He's also interested in suggestions for new places.

  Disagree. Where are the police when you need them? People want a police presence, they want to feel reassured by seeing them do what the word suggests, policing, so go catch some bad guys, arrest, charge and get the CPS to prosecute with the evidence to enable this to happen. Stabbing and shootings are so common place they no longer even get reported in the public domain. How many crimes don't get solved? Rather case closed and forgotten. The number of low to high level crimes which remain unsolved is staggering. The criminal fraternity know this, they know they won't get caught so they just carry on. Biggest crimes which affect most people, probably are phone and car theft, both are prolific and what do the police do, diddly squat. zilch, nothing, provide a crime reference number and the case is closed. Not good enough, not by a country mile. Met Engage? I don't think so.

  https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/violent-crime-plunges-london-homicide-rate-b1247078.html Worth doing a little checking before making assumptions about violent crimes. Recent data suggests a drop in violent crime. Gang violence will make a significant contribution to the numbers. You are unlikely to be attacked by a stranger

  Unfortunately there are plenty of shops which don't care and will sell vapes, alcohol and weed to minors, I'm sure they won't care about selling them fireworks. Or the kids nick them.

  It’s getting a bit annoying. We’ve a nervous dog who trembles when they go off. I know to expect it around Halloween and Diwali but it seems to be happening more through the year.
