From what I saw it was mainly on the side windows. Looked like letters in some cases. I saw about 7 or 8 from a quick glance along the road this morning but wasn't early and lots of people would've left earlier so could've been much more. Was at least up to the Goodrich mini-roundabout.

It was tile adhesive by the time they reached one bit of street - like thick porridge. Bad luck if they targetted you - go to the Police who are gathering up all the incidents. They said a moped's been stolen too.


Gestures of vandalism are usually intended to scare people and thus reclaim a sense of 'ownership' of 'territory'. The ones who did it will be delighted if there is a big fuss and we all creep away indoors.

This happened on Upland too, and I saw the people responsible, whom I assume could have also done the rest of the damage (it was 1:45am when I was woken up by loud voices, and saw them walk up the street). From what I understand one of my neighbours recognised one of them, so hopefully they will be reprimanded appropriately.


They were children, can't have been much older than 13. God only knows why/how they came to be roaming the streets at that time of the morning.

I agree, if by 'reprimanded' you mean scared witless by a visit from the cops and many hours of cleaning, scrubbing etc of affected cars or similar.

Following on from the messages above one car covered in paint this morning on Dunstans Road... black gloss paint so I would echo don't leave paint on the street for people to take just in case this was opportunistic. If anyone sees a can in a bin or somewhere near upland road please drop a note on here just in case any fingerprints.

    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since.
