Murder rate in the UK has not gone up that much TBF. Still a lot lower than it was... Last year's peak includes Hillsborough, and the other big peak includes Shipman
you'll find violent crime has also risen.... to the same rate that existed 10 years ago.
I remember being so terrified of being murdered and a victim of violent crime 10-15 years ago I used to go riding my bike up and down my road and going on little adventures and playing football in the street with my neighbour friends.
Terrifying back then, it really was.
just because you didn't know about it 10-15 years ago doesn't mean it didn't happen. you didn't have twitter and facebook to tell you about what is going on.
My sister in Law lives in the road next to where this incident happened (in Mottingham), and she hasn't mentioned it to us at all and my husband knows nothing about it as they don't go on any social media. we haven't mentioned it to her as it might freak her out and she might want to move in with us - and that is not happening. There are people at my work that have no idea that this incident happened, and i'm sure they watch the news, but how far spread was this story covered? there are things happeneing all over that we dont hear about.
I always hear helicopters flying over head, I'm straight on to the eltham facebook group or twitter to find out what is going on!
my brother had a car land (literally) in his front garden on its side yesterday morning (2.30am) in Kentish Town, a man is critically ill in hospital from being hit by said car and 3 girls have been arrested aged 14, 15 and 17. I've not heard this reported anywhere apart from a little bit on twitter as the road was closed and on the whats app messages from my brother. I thought that would have been quite big news? wtf were 3 girls of that age doing out at 2.30 am on a wednesday evening?!!?!?
The Kentish Town incident was on BBC London Radio
Even though it happened in a Kentish town
Off topic, but your Kentish Town / a Kentish town quip reminded my of one of the perils of using computer indexes for family history research. Apparently, my relatives lived in Ishtown, Kent....

Yep taking 20,000 plus old bill of the streets has worked out well, hasn't it!
does it really make a difference wasn't there a few old bill getting beaten in hackney mcdonalds in the middle of the afternoon recently with instead of people helping - just aimlessy getting phones out to record it? - just as easy as it is to go yeah governments fault ( i think we all saw what a labour mps solution was to the policing crisis ), its so easy to go poverty all the time, whatever happened to respect kids stabbing each other for belts ffs the country London even more so is turning into a shitpit.

Yes it does, a huge difference, and yes it was the Tories who let go over 20,000 police, because they are cunts. One of the reasons we have Police is to stop the wankers that do this sort of thing, decent people dont take knives out and stab people, scum do, and scum need policing or they get up to this sort of shit.

Generally greenie we agree on most things but when we had increased stop and searches etc all we got was calls of a racist police force, if we increased policing and stop and searches it would be more of the same.
Operation sceptre starts today, a week long crackdown on knife crime in England and Wales with stop and search being ramped up.
Probably be more effective if they didn’t announce the week they planned on doing it.
I always think this as major initiative is announced by the feds
Shame they never bothered following up on shit lane discipline on the motorways and A roads. That said, if you are stupid enough to go out carrying a blade you deserve to get collared

It doesn't help when you get imbiciles like David Lammy coming out with comments "why are the police stopping black kids in Hackney, they wouldn't do that to white kids in Surrey"
Maybe, just maybe, it's because black kids are shooting and stabbing each other in London and if white kids were doing the same thing on the same scale, then yes, bloody stop and harass them.
Even some members of the black community are asking for an up to date stop and search policy to be re installed but as you rightly say, that will require a dramatic increase in police numbers.

Nail on the head
Bloody hell, first knife attacks, then acid attacks and now they're resorting to nailing peoples heads.
Was shocked when I saw that news. I lived in Topham House for a year and a half and my Nan was there for 30 years. Lots of good people living in that building and couldn’t imagine something like that happening.
Another stabbing near me yesterday by the Toyota Garage in Baring Rd. 43 year old bloke apparently. Fortunately not life threatening / changing. Happy Xmas. What the fuck is wrong with people?!?
The fact these stabbings are taking place in broad daylight, emphasises the theory that the perpetrators don't give a monkey's if they're seen. Whether that's because they don't fear the law, or just don't think they'll get caught is another question....
6 stabbings yesterday all in daylight and around the time kids are coming out school, did anyone catch 24 hours in police custody? - scary stuff the size of the knifes are killing not injuring people.

They don't fear the law as they don't think about getting caught. I suppose if you are with people who carry knives you think it's normal so to do. And then there's something, an argument say, that escalates and here's the knife in someone's hand. And it's used.

what a time to be alive.
Yes I saw it. If I were in charge I'd round up everyone carrying a knife without a valid reason. Then I'd put them and their knives in an enormous locked area, perhaps the size of Greenwich Park and leave them to it. I'd give it a few weeks and hopefully the problem would all be sorted

The connection with school leaving time is what worries me. Woolwich town centre between 2.30 and 4 is not a nice place to be.

Lol classic Leuth.
Announce it and you immediately reduce the numbers of people carrying knives. Fewer scumbags on the streets for a week.
Announce it and do it and make arrests and generate publicity for it, and you only have to announce it next time. More scumbags jailed.

When will this stop?

18 year old victim at 3.30 in the afternoon!
