    On the day of our 2nd leg of play off when we went to Sydney arms to watch a guy came in, went into one of the sections of the pub. Smashed a chair over a bloke, came back through our section, out the front door and got back in his car and drove off. Apparently he knew the guy who was with his ex gf and he was meant to be at home looking after their child. Completely out of character for that area apparently. Hmmm. Don’t loads of gangsters live around there?!?

    yeah I saw this as well. the screaming put me right off my pint.

    sounds like a fuss about nothing.

    That pretty much sums it up, albeit a very expensive (to the taxpayer) nothing, with helicopters hovering for two hours and most of the OB from the local area, and the local police Twitter feed explaining that somebody thought they saw what might have been a gun. Seems that as well as being a mosque, the building in question is also HQ of the local (St Nicholas's) gun club...
    something not right about naming a gun club after a saint

    Amuses me, the term 'gun club'. No one allowed to shoot anything above .22 now. Amazing how the crime rate has gone down (not)!

    I used to own a .22 air rifle. had to by law carry it around in a protective cover. very handy as it was also used to conceal my stash of porn mags.

    Hence the expression. Shooting your bolt.

    Apparently it was a ginger bloke carrying a chair leg. The firearms officers deserve a medal for their restraint.

    It was kid who walked passed the school with his fishing gear in a cover, some old lady phoned it in as "active shooter" making his way towards Chislehurst. Kid legged it when police showed up, took them 2hrs to track him down. Kid nicked for possession of cannabis. (reason the kid scooted)

    Can you expand on this a bit @golfaddick? What would you say would be the appropriate response, by the police, to a report of someone carrying a suspected firearm at the scene of a fairly recent arson? And what would the appropriate response be to that suspect fleeing the scene?

    but he wasn't carrying a firearm he was apparently carrying fishing rods in their rightful apparel. If someone is sauntering along with a shotgun under their arm then I agree that a member of the public should alert the police. But if what he had was under wraps then how could they know what it was.

    So you're more cross with the member of the public calling the police when they thought there might have been someone carrying a gun, instead of waiting a bit? You know, just to see if he used it?

    I cannot, for the life of me, see what the caller or the police did wrong. A vigilant, considerate member of the public thought a criminal act was taking place, so called the police. The police took it seriously, kept people safe, found the suspect - after he gave them cause to assume he was acting illegally - and, following a search, arrested someone on suspicion of an offence. No-one died, no-one was shot, no-one was injured.

    Isn't this *exactly* what should happen? @golfaddick

    Mind you, it possibly shows the concern in the minds of some of the public, that they would think someone was carrying a gun in Chislehurst.

    The money had been put aside to purchase the schools first reformation versions of the Q'uran.

    Honest, your honour.

    Why is it still open then?

    Because Ofsted don't just close schools. They, instead, identify areas of improvement for the school to aim towards.

    That way students' education doesn't suffer any more interruption.

    imo the most important aspect is the fact there was £400k in cash. In this day & age there in no reason why there isn't a bank account & all monies, be it school fees or even school trips are paid direct.

    not just money laundering issues but also terror related issues.

    Can you expand on the link you're drawing between a pile of cash and "terror related issues"?

    Bit of a leap but 'bladed weapons' might go some way to adding to the debate.

    Of course, he may have just been good at saving money, not trusting banks/building societies and having a keen interest in collecting the weapon of choice for terrorists that have committed atrocities on the streets of London in recent times.....all on school property.

    All hypothetical and probably a non smoking gun, obviously.
