Hello,


I'm a producer at BBC London TV News looking at a story for tomorrow on burglaries, and how few arrests there are. I know Dulwich was recently highlighted in the papers as a hot spot in London for burglaries. I also live in the area so know there are plenty of victims.


Is there anyone who'd be happy to go on camera and talk about their experience tomorrow (Thursday 28th Jan)?

Please get in touch.


Thanks

True Dr de Soto, but there are a lot of reports on this forum about burglaries and I've spoken to people who feel that in East Dulwich it's also got "out of control" and that the area is being specifically targeted. I'm not covering the story today (a colleague may be), but will make sure a distinction is made about the two areas (although only separated by yards). Thanks

I thought SE21's Dulwich Park was viewed as a key benefit of living in ED.


Isn't this statement therefore akin to claiming Andy Murray is British when he wins, but Scottish when he loses?


:-p

I thought it was the other way round, Dulwich Picturehouse is a key benefit of living in Dulwich Village. Anyway, Dulwich Park separates us from that SE21 den of crime :-)

Hi Gudi, as a reporter you probably know that the report highlighted that SE21 was an area with high claims on insurance policies for burglary and SE22 had an active forum where residents informed each other of burglaries.

You do understand that this does not equate to a 'hot spot'.

Remember that burglary in England is closely related to drug addiction. You can't arrest your way out of contagion - you can't cure addiction by sending people to substance abuse hothouses (jails).

I'm Alex K, and I approve this message.

BBC - packed full of over-paid socialist luvvies who will retire on gold plated pensions. The Gruniads are saints by comparison - allbeit misguided, naive idealists, but well-intentioned.


As for Farage, he is the only one who says it like it is ... unlike the other politicians who are gutless wimps out to line their own nests.

Here here, Green Goose

and rabbitears I was commending Duvaller on the suggestion made to gudrun- do pardon me if i went off topic in my loathing of the Biased BC.

Anyway after being harassed by reporters some years ago I have seen them for what they are- they are not after the absolute truth if they can put some kind of sensationalist spin and political bias (if that's their particular bag), on it

Not that I particularly want to get involved with the above, but (deep breath) . . . having been the victim of a break in / car theft earlier last year while my pregnant wife and I slept upstairs, burglary in SE22 feels pretty "hot" to me.


Given the police's general lack of interest (even when the car / DNA evidence was found / obtained), it feels to me like something that would be worth commenting on . . .

This appears to make the case for having a whole-population DNA database. Certainly would make policing a whole lot easier.

    • Hope all the ‘high streets for people’ events went well! Very short notice probably for people living in the area and on a very hot day!  James McAsh just doesn’t know what to do next with Southwark Council Tax payers money. He advocates the few streets in the area that has a bus service and then shuts the routes down! Very annoying for people who want to go about their daily business and have already had restrictions brought in by McAsh. 
    • Thank goodness for Greg. I had an awful situation whereby I was notified that water was leaking from my flat into the flat below me. I was 150 miles away at the time and had a panicked journey home not knowing what I was going to face.   I called Greg (after seeing reviews on the forum) as soon as I arrived home in the evening and he arrived just after 10pm and was able to shut off the problem. He had to come back to finalise the job which turned out to be caused in a communal area whereby there was a blockage in the stack pipe.   Greg worked quickly, efficiently and informed me every step of the way as to what he was doing and why. He also cleaned up really well afterwards.  Greg's charges are very reasonable and he will definitely be my "go-to" if I have any other plumbing issues in the future.
