Anyone got any idea why armed police were closing down Whateley Rd and surrounding streets about an hour ago? The street is now open but there are still lots of firearms officers milling around. I spoke to one of them and he explained that that they had to close off the area around a certain address because of an "incident" but he hadn't been told what that incident was.

I saw the whole thing starting from the Bell end of the road. I looked like an organised police operation. I counted 5 police cars and one unmarked. At least three of the cars were armed (dots in the windscreen corners). They were staking out a house half was down the street. I walked down the street just before it closed and walked past two firearms officers with what looked like rifles of some description. Both were standing opposite the house they were staking out.


I didn't stick around to see what was going to develop though...

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant.
