Today at around mid-day me and my husband were walking our dogs behind a housing block in the lordship lane estate (Opposite the vets in dulwich and next to the makeshift "Grove skatepark") where we witnessed a short white male and a taller black male chase two black boys on bicycles with knives and throwing bottles at them. The younger white male was waving a large machete/sword. It was absolutely horrifying and shocking and really traumatised me. I always assumed that the community of east dulwich were some of the kindest people I've lived around and the work in the community is amazing. I would not expect such a shocking thing to happen on the streets of SE22! We did call the police and they came rather quickly and apparently they have a lead to an arrest due to the cameras. Just wondering if any other ED Residents witnessed this.
No, and for that I am extremely glad. I am not sure what the dispute is over either. But honestly the whole experience has been very harrowing. Everyone involved in the altercation was young and that makes me wonder what the government is doing to school the new generation about the risks of knife crime as it is a scene seen time and time again on our streets. Thanks for all the kind messsages

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
