A youth was stabbed there this afternoon at about 2.30pm - 3.30 pm. I was told it wasn't a fatality but the boy was treated at the scene and taken to hospital. I hope he is okay and recovering. It was a crime scene until about 10pm when the cordon was taken away. Thoughts for the boy.

If you were a kid in an area of kids with knives you'd be tempted to carry. Plenty of studies in the area. Wouldn't surprise me if the victim had a knife. Do we deport him as well?


Not saying any of it is a good thing but it needs more considered analysis and understanding beyond "deport em"


We don't have a spare Australia in 2014 in any case

Lol.


Hope the kid is ok and the idiot who did it feels remorse eventually.


I'm a fan of The Bridge and loved the way Martin broke through Jens' protective wall to make sure he was tormented by what he'd done and finally felt remorse.


Harder to do a sentence with your guilt invading your nightmares than with a wall protecting you from your remorse.

These days the gang controlled areas end at a certain point and if another gang member passes a certain lamp post or similar, he/she is in mortal danger. The police did some early morning raids across London last week on gang-related operations and made some arrests. They are taking i seriously it seems.

This is the forum at its pants wetting worst. We've gone from a kid getting stabbed to full on gang warfare raging in ED...thanks stevieb23 and Unleglen. Gangs obviously exist and must be countered hard, wherever they proliferate.

But the non sequitur-fuelled ,cleavage-heaving panic mongering evidenced here , does not assist matters .

It only leads to things like the ludicrous " bullet riddled car" thread.

    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
