That is part of my point. The secondary schools are less open than Primary schools. There should be a regular dialogue between school and parent and any lack of communication by the parents flagged up.

Once a child enters Secondary they should not be viewed as anything less than a child albeit an older child, but still a child.

I'm sorry to hear that he's a friend of daughter.


I remember when I was young the lads who were most polite to my parents and parents of friends were often the ones who were most likely to get up to the worst activities, bullying stealing or worst.

Is it possible your daughter?s friend is one of these lads?


If he was just an innocent bystander then it is awful that he has been stabbed, but I find it very hard to believe someone would be attacked if they were just minding their own business.





It will be interesting to find out what sparked the argument and the subsequent stabbing.


How is it that these men are still walking our streets carrying knives?

I don't agree. Groups/gangs of kids can hassle and insult other kids who are just minding their own business - it happens all the time. Sometimes teenage boys can't help themselves, and react rather than walking away... and it escalates from there.

That's what I meant by try telling that to Ben Kinsella's parents. But you said it better Jeremy.

    • I fear it's not a case of whether they tolerate it - many actively embrace it. He is really bad under pressure. All the fake bonhomie falls away and you see the thin skinned, aggressive bully, just under the surface. The one that many who have worked (and inevitably fallen out) with him describe. People ultimately will make up their own mind. But the fact that as a teenager, teachers described him as openly racist, leaves me little doubt that the accounts from numerous ex-schoolmate is true. He has spent much of his adult life espousing divisive and xenophobic policies and rhetoric, and in Europe, aligned himself with far-right parties. He has already done huge, lasting damage to this country in my opinion.
    • Looking at Trump and the US, the answer might be a very uncomfortable yes. On another note, a very good cartoon in the Guardian today:  
    • Ellie Reeves MP will be outside the Herne Tavern at 10.45 today to hear the concerns of local people. Ideal location for discussing GALA.
    • This is a commonly held misconception. The Dulwich Estate’s Scheme of Management is self funding. The annual charge which those of us who live on the Estate are obliged to pay on an annual basis does NOT go to funding the Foundation Schools or the other Beneficiaries of Edward Alleyn’s estate. www.thedulwichestate.org.uk/property-on-the-estate/residential-freehold/ the scheme of management will tell you all you need to know about this feudal tithe gathering enterprise created in 1974. The Dulwich Estate Charity is bound to distribute every year its disposable income to its beneficiaries, which include the three Dulwich Foundation Schools. In 2022-3 this was £5m.
