It might be a coincidence but at around the same time my boyfriend was in Peckham at his parents last night and they had their road blocked off by loads of plain clothes police with guns and dogs who entered a property in what seemed to be a very planned opereation. Maybe they were connected and timed to happen at the same time? Or just completely separate.

Sue, a very similar situation arose in the house next to me a few years back. Just heading out to meet friends for dinner and suddenly a man with a big gun was pointing at me shouting 'Get in, get in!' Turned out my neighbours had been dealing drugs and they were doing a Southwark wide bust - hence the silence arrivals, immediate armed action etc.


Atleast they are doing something other than standing at the train station!

It must have been a big operation then because armed police were all hanging out on the corner of Silvester Rd & Cyrena Rd too where they had lots of flash unmarked vehicles, big guns, all plain clothes plus those police baseball type caps, a load of them ran off towards whately rd at one point and then came back and still hung around for ages...this was all while before the helicopter & sirens
One would have thought that all these unmarked vehicles that attended are now exposed as they have been retained on any local CCTV. It seems a sheer waste of money having to change them just for the sake of retaining a person for depositing a peice of paper in the wrong Wheelie Bin.
Prior to the helicopter there was a lot of commotion at the end of Landells road. I looked out of the window to see a car, doors open, rolling along down the road with no one in it. Two police with machine guns running after it and after managing to get the car before it collided with any parked cars reverse it back to where all the rest of the commotion was going on. Lots of goings on which without actually leaving the house I couldn't really see. Then after a bit the helicopter. Felt like suddenly ED had become a guest episode in the wire.

From memory the tale of the East European brothel in East Dulwich also had more than one post bigging it up :))


And, er, out of all the people who have read this thread, how do you know "it is just you (ie me) that fails to believe" - do you have the amazing ability to read the mind of all these people, when presumably you do not even know who they are?!


If I hear from an official source that this story is true, then I will believe it. Until then, some of the details that have been given on this thread cause me to doubt it. OK?


Just because several posters have described something doesn't make it true. People make up all sorts of things, for all sorts of reasons, and other people go along with them, for all sorts of reasons.

I also know of someone who was caught up in this incident and I think it is insulting to those who were disturbed or genuinely frightened by what happened the other night to be told it was a figment of their imagination. Thankfully it was over and done with in quite a short space of time considing how many officers were invovlved but just because it wasn`t outside your front door, it doesn`t mean it didn`t take place.

Actually it was nearly outside my front door - I live in Ulverscroft Road. And I didn't see or hear a thing.


I'm not saying "it didn't take place". If you read my posts you will see that.


And I'm not insulting anyone.


I just don't believe everything I read on this forum posted by people I don't know without some form of supportive evidence, particularly when it includes detail like a load of plain clothes police still wearing their police caps. Sorry but I don't find that very credible.


If someone I knew and trusted had seen this incident and told me about it, then of course that would be different.

When plain clothes officers are involved in a situation they will wear something to identify themselves as being part of the operation in progress, would be a bit stupid if officers from another unit couldn`t identify them as being on the same side. A cap is small enough to be hidden whilst they are acessing a situation and blatently obvious when used. This method is often used. I heard the helicopter that evening and am not to far from you.

Yes I heard the helicopter, I never doubted that as I heard it myself.


Anyway, I don't think it's very fruitful to continue this discussion on this thread.


My position is still that I will believe this when it's confirmed by an official source or by someone I know and trust, but really that is of no interest to anyone else.


So if you want to continue telling me that I should believe it, please PM me, thanks.

Can you tell us more? Or would you have to kill us afterwards?

    • 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".
