A serious assault and robbery took place, this morning, on a postal worker in East Dulwich. This person was badly beaten and some items of mail were stolen. Apparently, it is one of several attacks in the past week, which has resulted in the hospitalisation of the latest victim. Has anyone else heard anything?

Yeah it happened about 11 ish on the corner of Lordship and Melford, poor postie looked like he'd hurt his leg, no sign of assailant, seemingly it happened while he was collecting from one of the Royal Mail boxes they store mail in, maybe postie gave chase cause he was flat out at the bottom of Melford passage when the cops got there.

I hope the postman is ok and if any of his colleagues read on here maybe they can let us know?


And while it's no consolation to the poor guy I feel compelled to point out that as someone who hates any kind of "the world is going to pieces" Littlejohn-esque rant let's be clear this isn't a unique incident either in ED or globally

Unfortunately, it is not. If these thugs had to walk around the streets, in all weathers, with heavy sacks full of mail and earn what these people (who we all rely on, no matter what) do, they might think twice - which I very much doubt, as it's much easier to attack and steal for a living!

I'd love to catch the ****** who did it

Best wishes to the postie in question

Hope noone whose post is affected suffers too much (sounds like could be me too)

And of course noone who rants about the world is a bad person (well apart from Littlejohn but he is beyond hope)


My point is - ranting about the world (as I am wont to do many times a day) based on anecdotal evidence alone doesn't make me right. My first thought when I read fish's story was "what the hell is goin on?" but I learned some time ago that when you look into these things the city was more often than not a worse place "back in the day".


(I'm setting myself up as a target here aren't I?)


This attack might be a sign that the area is going to hell in a handcart or it might be a sign that we are in one of those cyclical spates which happen from time to time and that actually things are about the same and we needn't worry any more than we did, say a year ago. Too early to say at this point imo

You could also argue that our more interconnected world, with its preponderance of sites like this one and faster ways of getting information from a to b, allows us to know more about the bad things. Without EDF, fewer of us would have know about this attack, and those that did would have learnt about it more slowly. So it's all EDF's fault! Nero

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
