I don't know, he's got a fair point, just because an operation occurs in your part of town, it seems a tad unfair that a local authority has to foot the bill. ?1 million will be a hefty dent in Southwark's budget.


Mind you I thought Stockwell was in Lambeth, in which case it's totally fair, no skin off my nose guv, can the council provide some more PCSOs and invest in our schools please?

We will pay one way or another, but perhaps the Police should pay or central Govt. rather than just the ratepayers of Southwark and only three other London Boroughs as reported. It does seem disproportionate in view of the national implications of the case.

i wasn't making a point, sean, i was just pointing to the article. personally i think it should be the police or the government who foot the bill and not the people.

"police or the government and not the people"


Eh? And who pays for them? Or do you mean out of their wages? Now I'm with you on that one!!


Could you imagine what a great precedent that would set, if all politicians who voted for the war actually had to hand over 80% of their income and directorships to pay for the extra injury compensation, for the separate health care injured soldiers require, for the equipment they should have been issued with?


Now we're talking :)

The relevant coroner's office which covers Stockwell is Inner South London. In the ordinary course of things, Southwark, Lewisham, Lambeth and Greenwich share the costs of all coroner's inquests for the Inner South London office. It's possible for the Coroner to make a special order about who should pay the costs of the inquest (the MPA for example), but otherwise the normal rule will apply, unless some kind of special deal can be reached with the Home Office.

i don't think it matters how much it is, or how much, when broken down to individual council tax bill, individual people will be paying. it's the fact that pretty much all of us are responsible for the war deaths around the world and for the police murders of innocent people in this country.

"it's the fact that pretty much all of us are responsible for ..."


Speak for yourself, my vote tried to stop that shower of shag sacks in '97, '01 AND '05!!

Those I did vote for voted against the war thengyouverymuch!!


Unless you mean in a more general I-consume-therefore-I-tacitly-approve-of-neo-imperialism fashion; which might be just a tad unfair?

Fine, I'll live in a tent in Antarctica and eat only penguin*, thus avoiding any guilt by association for any wrongdoing ever committed by anyone whatsoever. Meanwhile, back in the real world....


*though I may be upsetting the Brahman there...ok ok, snow it is.

Or you could adopt the world view I have. That being, that I am only one man with good intentions so I can therefore lay culpability for the world squarely at the feet of everyone else.


You bastards.


You should try it it?s a very liberating place to be.

I'm not sure Mockers.


I think it would be more unfair to claim that we had no responsibility for these situations whilst filling our boots from the trade imbalances that created the crisis in the first place.


That being said, as an essentially peaceable chap I don't like to carry the can for people who think the best ways of solving problems involves mass slaughter.

happy boxing day everyone


things are never black and white, and the alternative to what the 'real' world is today is not a cave and snow eating. the 'real' world itself is not a fixture but a changing (although not necessarily evolving) one and thankfully there are alternatives.


we could learn to consume ethically so that when we do buy something, we know that the profit will go to the person(s) who made the item, rather than a boss/manager/company director


we could learn to not keep our money in banks whose only real purpose in life is to keep the canary wharf chaps in business


we could learn to take a step back and relearn to breathe


we could learn to not compete 24 7


etc?

    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
