I rarely use the no 12 bus and it will be a while before I use it again. I am quite affected by the shooting yesterday, but only because I have children. I was playing with my daughter on the rye Sunday midday and trying to get her to ride her bike for the first time without stabilisers. We walked back up Friern Road at about 12.30, obviously not far off the time and location of the shooting.


I'm going to stay clear of the peckham rye end of ED for a while and that includes the no 12 bus.

Why not go the whole hog and barricade yourself in your house? It's the only way to be sure.

Hi Mick - although I do sympathise - had I gone to the Herne for a quick drink before Sunday lunch I might have been passing by as the shooting happened, but you simply cannot let these things affect you and your life. I was mugged at Elephant and Castle and although I was very shaken, I knew I had to continue using the buses and the tube in that area. If violence affects our lives then the perpetrators of such violence are winning the fight against decent behaviour.

By saying you're going to stop going to that part of ED for a while you're making a change to your life as a direct result of these events. Exactly what these criminals are hoping to achieve! I actually live very close by and although the news has shocked me, I have no intention of changing the way I live.

Jeez don't knock a guy for being shaken by someone being executed by a single bullet to the back of their head in proximity to their neighbourhood !! Especially when


People take things different ways and react how they feel like reacting.


We all know what we SHOULD do for crissakes. As for the perpetrators I don't think they're trying to scare people from the neighbourhood, they were more focussed on taking that poor guy out. There's no battle going on for the streets !

      Did Dulwich College tolerate pupils' bigotry and racism...?

      By malumbu · Posted

      I wonder where he could be deported to, Hungary the obvious candidate in Europe, perhaps he would get on well with Modi?   Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage both said Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood should look at whether Abd El Fattah's citizenship could be revoked to enable his swift removal from the UK. Farage said in a letter to Mahmood: "It should go without saying that anyone who possesses racist and anti-British views such as those of [Mr Abd El Fattah] should not be allowed into the UK." So just racists views are ok Nige?

      If it's the same one I'm thinking of, it was a little further down the road towards LL, probably where the Fresh Flower Company is today. I'd forgotten all about it, with good reason. I think it disappeared before Blue Mountain opened and became a pizza place? I once bought a carton of milk from the deli and when I opened it, it was solid. I did get my money back though.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Sue · Posted

      But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps, and at least I can sort of honestly blame it on illness. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them,  but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?
