I used to live in Ladywell. I was back over there this afternoon to sit around drinking coffee in the locale's only coffee shop. A local acquaintance then came bounding in, breathless, to announce that there had been a shooting by Ladywell station. Police were "swarming" and roads were closed. He was extremely, extremely excited and looked livelier than I'd seen him in years. So I presume it wasn't actually him that got shot. He was so worked up and excited that he was unable to explain to me precisely what had happened and whether it was a murder. Aren't shootings a regular occurence in south-east London?

Oh dear Dreads...I'm afraid that's only the tip of a very murky iceberg.


Last week a butcher was raided on Rye lane and Police discovered a Leper colony under the floorboards.


Target Arms on Lordship lane has been investigated after claims that it has been run by a former Serbian warlord who's wanted for questioning by the Hague.


101 Dalmations were found dead and had been skinned. Police have failed so far in their efforts to bring a local PR mogal who alledgedly lives on Alleyns road to justice following claims that half the MET are in her handbag.


There was a ferocious gun battle at the JAGS sports club after a member of staff rolled her eye's one too many times.







Oh and some geezer wearing an out of the ordinary track suit was seen walking with a suspicious limp and whistling a tune that may or may not have been a code to bypass burglar alarms.

They're regular LGWD but not yet frequent enough for us to become consumed with ennui and take to our fainting couches, all the while dispatching the help for supplies of laudanum as a diversion.

I for one have not done that several weeks.

And I'm sure I'm not alone.

      No to joining America in any attack on Iran

      By malumbu · Posted

      General view is it is tokenistic from Iran, not looking to harm life but show that they are retaliating. Same thing happened after the earlier Israeli attack back in the distant part. There will be debate, even at the top of the Iranian authorities.  Israel even without the US hold the cards.  Although are in this position due to decades of US support. As per my post on the other thread much of the reason the world is in this position is botched US post second world war middle East policy.  Supporting both sides in the Iran/Iraq war being particularly striking Trump mark 1 emboldened the right wing in Israel, perhaps pushed Hammas to more extreme action, and led to the Iranians going rogue on nukes.  I think that the latter was to put them in a stronger position in opening up grade, a country not able to sell vast quantities of oil ,(and gas?) But how does the world move on from this mess? By all means give other views to my simplistic ones

      The NYT ( that right wing alarmist rag) has reported that Iran told Qatar so they could prepare. Iran and Q are on good terms so Q won’t retaliate, esp as Iran is only targeting US bases, which everyone knew to expect.     If anything, it draws Qatar into the dialogue and Q will privately be urging Iran to back down.

      If the Qatari's decide to retaliate then it's all going off...but I suspect the Iranians are hoping for this - one inaccurate missile and the Qatari's may have to. I think the Iranian leadership is working on fast-tracking their own demise and the Americans and Israeli's planning for regime change, maybe with the many political prisoners the Israelis tried to free from the Elvin prison today. What a mess but clearly Iran was becoming a big threat to not only Israel but many of the other Gulf States and was clearly doing scary stuff with nuclear weapons that required action.

      I can't find any references to an attack on a British base. where do you find one?
