Just read this in the Daily Mail - horrible attack, and the woman's life still in danger. There's a number on there just sharing in case anyone saw anything....

Saffron I thought the same .


A few months ago it took an hour and a half for an ambulance to arrive when my 94 year old mother broke her femur very badly .Not the same I know .


The poor ambulance staff said that every visit they did the first thing they had to do was aplogise for the delay .There seemed to be some change of protocol re hand over at the hospital which was causing great delays .

It's horrifying but unfortunately not as as rare an event as we all hope it should be...


In the early 2000s a study found the leading cause of death amongst pregnant women was murder (20% of all deaths for pregnant women in the US). It IS really appalling what pregnancy brings out in some people.

Some Evil people in this world. So sad for the poor girl this has happened to. I really hope those nasty's that did this scum attack are caught and suffer locked up for it. This country needs to toughen up dealing with these crimes.

I felt physically ill when I read about this yesterday. Never ceases to shock, how some people are capable of such disgusting behaviour.


Quite possible that it was treated as a low priority because the caller didn't convey the full details. Wouldn't be so quick to jump to conclusions regarging the ambulance service.

Mmm - the FIRST phone call was assessed as low priority .

Which is what happened with my mother ( not the same I know ,tho she did die within 24 hours of the fall ) .

Repeated calls , original ambulance diverted to a " more urgent " call .


And wasn't there a case earlier this year of an accident in Camberwell New Rd where the police ended up taking an injured person to hospital themselves because of the delay ?


I should say that I have the greatest respect and appreciation of the Ambulance Service ,I'm not trying to criticise them .

London Mix - don't even get me started, been working with Refuge for the past 2 years, two thirds of all domestic violence starts in pregnancy.


Glad to hear someone has been charged, hopefully she makes a full recovery.

Jeremy.. We had an emergency at Curry Club when one person was suddenly taken very ill..


On calling the Emergency Services the caller was asked what seemed like an list of

pre-prepared questions and would not listen to any details the caller was trying to convey

saying. "I did not ask you about that. Just answer the questions"


I can only assume the answers to the questions merit points and that the number of points

determines the urgency of the situation.


Not the best system IMHO.

There aren't enough ambulances and paramedics are under ridiculous pressure. I know a couple and they are struggling.


I thought the police ended up taking this poor woman to hospital having waited an hour for the ambulance. Which to me begs the question why didn't the police just take her sooner?

Ideally there'd be some degree of communication between the police force and the ambulance service, so they'd know approximately how long the ambulance would be (and elevate priority if necessary). But I guess this isn't the case... hard to make a call when you're in the dark.

The police have already indicated that it was not a random attack. The emotion involved in wanting to kill an unborn child requires a strong connection so its likely to be the father or someone who felt threatened by the pregnancy based on their relationship with the father or the mother.

Ex-boyfriend and father of the baby, according to the Beeb. I suspect he'll be watching his back constantly when they throw him in Wormwood Scrubs. Someone will sort him out.


I only hope they have enough evidence, seeing as there was two of them and they were wearing motorbike helmets. So if anyone did see anything, phone it in to the police. You may make a big difference.

    • In case anyone is renovating or stripping out an old kitchen, I am looking for a base kitchen unit or carcass to house an oven for a temporary set up kitchen.   Also looking for a run of worktop at least 180 cm long if anyone is disposing of something like this, I would be happy to collect.   thanks   Mila
    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
