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).

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.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
