Well, one random person off Twitter, whose opinion you simply had to share here for some reason.It's the weekend. Anyway it's up to you what you do with your site but doesn't stop people thinking it's a mistake.
How long have you lived in Brixton?There was a stabbing in Electric Avenue on Saturday night. Two taken to hospital after broad daylight stabbing in Brixton I was relieved when I read it because nobody died. Which I suppose explains why it's not been widely reported. It seems our local threshold for "stabbing news" excludes an event where people are merely wounded. Makes me want to live somewhere else.
There was also a serious fight outside the Satay Bar on Sunday night that saw two ambulances and several police cars in attendanceThere was a stabbing in Electric Avenue on Saturday night.

We're going to loads more of this as Brixton ramps up as a late night tourist attraction for boozers and clubbers.
I didn't say it was tourists, you fucking idiot. What I did say is that if Brixton continues its trajectory to be a major boozy nightlife destination, more alcohol related violence is pretty much inevitable.So this was 'tourists'?
You know this how?
Pre - lockdown i don't remember there being a lot of booze related violence around Brixton, but I stand corrected if there was.I didn't say it was tourists, you fucking idiot.

And I've definitely seen more aggro on the streets recently, including my former local the Albert where I saw someone get glassed recently.
I'm putting us both on mutual ignore from now on because I don't want to hear your shitty little personal digs anymore
I see you've popped up once again to make another personal dig. Grow the fuck up.Bloody boozers & clubbers.

Another way to look at it is that some of the councillors and staff do care about the residents at the bottom of the heap, who need more social care and support than ever, and they'll do almost anything to get money to pay for services. Antisocial venues are a necessary evil, because of the business rates they pay and the staff they employ. Without all the drunken, shouting, vomiting, pissing, drink-driving, stabbing punters, how would Brixton cope?I really don't like the encouraging of night life at the expense of local residents and daytime businesses. I feel Lambeth doesn't doesn't care about its existing residents and shoppers and only wants to swop them for richer new ones.
might reduce the number of stabbings...I really don't like the encouraging of night life at the expense of local residents and daytime businesses. I feel Lambeth doesn't doesn't care about its existing residents and shoppers and only wants to swop them for richer new ones.
surely 'Anti social venues' dont pay any more rates than any other businesses? with the extra street cleaning and nuicance complaints needed - I don't beleive that adds up to more income in Lambeth councils coffers.Another way to look at it is that some of the councillors and staff do care about the residents at the bottom of the heap, who need more social care and support than ever, and they'll do almost anything to get money to pay for services.

I thought business rates went to the government anyway?surely 'Anti social venues' dont pay any more rates than any other businesses? with the extra street cleaning and nuicance complaints needed - I don't beleive that adds up to more income in Lambeth councils coffers.
Does it? I don't know. If that's the case then there is even less reason to encourage antisocial nighttime economy in central brixtonI thought business rates went to the government anyway?
