mate of mine lives in part of a rectory near a tube station- kids set light to the other half last week, firemen turned up, kids were doing that strange arson thing of standing round watching the place burn, so firemen called the police (they had been asked for in orig 999 call, but hey...). Police didn't turn up even when the firemen, ie another emergency service, were saying the arsonists were 20 feet away and could they please come and do something about it

We know the plod look at this site, let's hope its not just for gathering intell and that they'll pass on concerns expressed here to the powers that be . That's an incredibly irresponsible, nay, contemptuous non-response to an emergency.

Yet more gentrification madness We've got a useless ranking in the latest crime hotspot figures. We were nowhere for Total Crimes, Violence, Drugs, Burglary, Bike Theft, Criminal Damage or Car Crime. The best we could manage was a paltry second place for Robbery, thanks to enterprising use of the space in front of KFC. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...-zero-Londons-Westfield-Shopping-centres.html

Minnie, Must be the wind direction. Can't hear a thing.

My only real beef with the fringes of the god squad is the 'charitable status' that doesn't really seem to benefit anyone except the preacher's family or the church hierarchy.

Had to shut the window to shut them out. FFS, the church ain't any bigger than any other local church like the one down Lambert, but the catholic priest there doesn't need some massive booming sound system/tannoy/whatever to preach.

They must all be deaf in the church in Waterworks Road

Oh and they park in disabled bays on my road and then kick off when they get a ticket...
(OK, I have only witnessed this twice, but it's not a very Christian thing to do, is it??)

Isn't that more Ruach Ministries that do all the illegal parking rather than the church in Waterworks Road?

 

[Onket]

Shut the fuck up bible bashers

Can anyone else hear the church in Waterworks Road

Ranting and raving on what sounds like a massive sound system

YEAH JESUS everyone is now shouting

enjoy hell lol!

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

There'll be lots of shouty people in hell and there'll be lots of bible bashers in heaven. I'll be stuck in between

purgatory? An endless waiting room?!

 

[Onket]

The bible bashers won't be bashing bibles in heaven, they'll be doing lines of pure coke out of model's arse cracks, probably.

I can remember Bishop Francis of Ruarch Ministries leading a delegation from his church to a Police Consultative meeting in the Lambeth council chamber to protest that he had been given a parking ticket whilst he "popped out" to get collect a printing job from Clearaprint in Coldharbour Lane. That was around 1995 or so. Clearly things don't change.

I remember when they had some famous preacher and they had a limo parked right outside, plus loads of other cars on the pavement along with the congregation and remember getting tuts for having the cheek to say excuse me. Obviously they'd rather people walked in the road

If you don't go to their church you're probably not even classed as a person.

You mean there's another religious place there other than Ruach??? I get very confused by all this religion stuff....

Well Ruach isn't on Waterworks Road, it's on Brixton Hill.

It's the New Covenant Church in Waterworks Road

the last 3 incidents ive been involved in with the police have all involved the police turning up and then not doing anything (in the most dramatic case with an assault taking place infront of them and my mates home having its windows smashed in - all infront of their eyes), or not bothering investigating the crime even though its clearly solvable (cctv footage or so on).

Splitters!

Splitters? What are splitters? Someone that's split from an equally noisy, higher church, that's probably lining the pockets of the preacher?

Well they're all Christians, and more or less the same denomination, and yet they basically seem to treat every other church than theirs as not really Christian.

IMHO Judas Iscariot would be proud of them.

So have the police been relieved of their duty to prevent crime and protect citizens? Its very odd.

Yep. Which is why a low-key CCTV scheme in our road is back on the agenda

Did this happen in Lambeth? I'd be happy to compile a list of these non-responses to pass on to the Matt Bell, head of Lambeth police. I don't think I particularly need lots of details, as the purpose will be to ask for clarification about what we can expect from our police officers.
