I'm afradi he is not. That's the way these sorts are. Simples.

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.

    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
