Are you kidding! If they do that the majority of you will end up giving it to that conwoman of varying description.

Dunno, living in East Dulwich is enough to make me want to kill everyone in the entire world, starting with people like you and ending with myself, so I wouldn't say that's a completely watertight theory.

what makes it middle class, a ?50000.00 a year office job. I know lots of so called middle class yuppies, and their parents worked in Metalshops Butchers and Sainsbury's. its all a load of pretentious drivel. I've met some right dodgy f*ckers in my job. and they have been a mixed bag. When I was growing up my parents taught me that there is good and bad of all peoples. you cant tar everybody with the same brush, and to generalize would be a mistake.

So why not move to a neighbourhood less likely to bring out your innate psychotic tendencies?

And leave it for a bunch of cosseted ex-Home Counties white supremacists? Never.

So, honk, from the sentiment you have just expressed are you saying that East Dulwich is a powder keg ready to explode - and if so do you think that East Dulwich taxes are getting the bang for the buck (?42,000) necessary to combat crime, in an area incidentally that has more burglaries per capita, than for instance, south Camberwell and north Peckham?

Burglaries yes, what with being an affluent area with stuff worth stealing.


Violent crime, not a spit in the ocean compared with the rest of London.


Which is more worthy of money would you say?

It's been at least 2 days, I know!

Violent crime is not something to be ignored, and although it's lower in East Dulwich than some other parts of London it still needs to be prevented with the help of funding, even if ?42,000 really is a drop in the ocean.


I really don't know what race has to do with any of this honk - it seems to me that black people and white people both pay their taxes and are both worthy of crime prevention. Surely no one disagrees with that.


I don't know what money is being spent in the rest of Southwark but by god I bet it's more than ?42,000. I read that last summer Lambeth was injecting ?5.2m, yes that 5.2 million pounds, over 2 years to combat teenage crime... so that ?42,000 seems more of a token gesture.

It has nothing to do with it.


By 'white' I meant 'middle class', it's a saying where I - oh, never mind.

matthew123, I'm pretty sure you've misunderstood it... 42k is not the entire budget for fighting violent crime in ED, it seems to be a one-off grant as far as I can tell. But you're right, it's a drop in the ocean.


As for honk - any excuse to play the race card, methinks. I don't think anyone said "If you don't like our ways, get out", it's just that most people wouldn't bother sticking around in a place which made them want to kill everyone in the entire world. But then again, he obviously just logs on to stir shit, so let him get on with it. It's quite entertaining in some ways.

Yes Jeremy I realise that the helicopters flying above, and the police vans charging down Lordship Lane are funded by a bit more than ?42k ;-)


And since when has 'white' been a euphemism for 'middle class' - wouldn't the upper class have something to say about these 'middle class supremacists' !?

Somewhere, underneath all the layers of whining, over-privileged cosseted Home Counties types shouting their insides out about parking, and calling for the immediate public flogging of anyone 'not right'....Somewhere underneath all that is a semi-alright area.

If we can keep the tone of this thread somewhere around 'predictable sarcasm', we might distract people enough to ward off another Ocado thread being created.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • 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".
