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.

    • Copleston centre hire for adult parties 
    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
