I don't know about you, but I'm entirely capable of making decisions without the guidance of journos. If I hadn't thought before that journalism is primarily about fitting the facts to the angle rather than actually investigating then coming up with a conclusion, a few years living with a journo confirmed the reality.

I bloody love the BBC and hope it can survive. But then I happily put myself in a lefty luvvie prosecco-swigging socialist knitting my own organic bedsocks bracket. I also think most jobbing journalists do a reasonable job.


What is the hostility to Gudrun all about? Do we want to pretend that these statistics are all a figment of someone's imagination with no acknowledgement of the truly horrible experience it is to be burgled?


I see one EDF user's 10 year old has hacked their account: "go away Gudrun, we don't want you publicising a bad image of our area."

As pointed out above, the hostility might relate to a concern this is going to be a beat-up of insurance claim stats to draw potentially incorrect inferences as to the comparative level of crime. My guess is that folk don't want the potential adverse effect on house prices.


I don't live in SE22 and am a knit-your-own noodles type. I just know enough about how hacks work to think there might be some substance in the concerns of a beat-up.

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • 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
