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.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
