What on earth is going on and how do we tackle this.


Woman in the prime of her life stabbed to death around 11pm last night in Bellenden Road area...


Somebody must have been up and around about that time - lets pull together and root these people out once and for all...


Southwark News has launched its Stop a Stabbing campaign and calls on everybody to do their bit!

Is the shopkeeper the same person as the 20 yr old woman in Bellenden referred to in the article? Or is that a separate one?

Sorry, how do "we" do that?

Approach all kids and ask them if they have a knife?

Storm the school and parliament gates and demand they educate and bring up the kids that the kids' parents can't manage to do because of their own (the parents') shortcomings?


All I can do is be friendly to the youngsters on my estate and listen to them if they have problems.

The kids carrying knives are not One sort of person.

How do we tackle this you ask? I don't know, but I feel strongly that we should all consider this extract from John Donne's Meditation XVII:


No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were: any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind ...


I think too often we are insular and selfish and only consider our own space and possessions and disregard the worth of other people. [sorry, this is a bit incoherent but I hope you get the drift.]

My wife just phoned to tell me of this awful occurrence last night. We too are thinking of leaving ED and London because we don't want our little boy growing up round here. Is it easy to escape this sort of crime? Yes! It does not often happen in either Portsmouth, where I am from or Lancaster where my wife is from.

Yes I had to take a back street cycle route around OKR today too and consequently got lost - there were loads of forensic people around and a massive white police investigation truck.


Although the weird thing was as I cycled down into a little alley into one of the estates a group of black teenagers shouted out to me: "Hey look at that white girl! How funny is it that she has to cycle round these black man estates cos of the road closure." Did not really know what to think about that but just smiled at them and carried on...

Stop buying cocaine


Stop buying cannabis


Stop buying tamazepam and modafanil (stolen from the NHS) for "recreational use"


Stop tolerating the use of drugs all around us


Ostracise drugs sellers and optional drug users


That might help.

That's no problem - I made a fortune out of it when I lived there! :)


Agreed there is a lot of smack in Pompey, but give me an honest smack head over a crack head any day of the week!!!

Lets not get this problem out of proportion until we know the reasons behind these stabbings. They may not just be random acts of violence - lets wait and hear the facts.


Correct, LadyGooner. BBC Radio has just reported the Bellenden Road stabbing was the result of an argument between a man and a woman who had been drinking together for much of the day.


Ian Blair has just given a press conference in which he said knife murders in the first six months of this year are at the same level as last year.


The impression of knife crime spiralling out of control is, I fear, only fuelled by "campaigns" such as JumpinJourno's - which may be good if they do lead to a more awareness of the dangers of carrying knives. But less good if it leads to the sort of "I'm quitting this area for good" fear of crime that only serves to, do what? Not much, as far as I can see.

"Does not happen often" but it DOES happen. A bit of a pointless comment don't you think?

Hello Keef.>:D<

I would not leave this area because of the 'crime', and I do not fear for my children growing up in London. In fact, I would rather they grow up in London than a provincial town. I embrace the multi-culturalism, and diverse activities and cultural events.

Personally, I would not be wandering around the Bellenden Rd area at 11PM on my own (was she on her own?). I would probably be OK with Lordship lane at that time as it is still relatively busy, but even so I would be very cautious.

      4+ Assessment Advice for Parents

      By Lord Pencilton · Posted

      It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️

      GALA 2026

      By kiera · Posted

      Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
