I just Googled the name in case of other news items.
I suppose it is stalkeriish - like the time I got the latest news on former Lambeth Social Services boss Edgar Zephyrine
Sorry.

For context look at this Police probe contract, grant awards at National Self Help - Trinidad and Tobago Newsday
I could give an example of similar dishing out of Brixton Challenge money for "feasibility studies" whilst Edgar was working here (and a Harringay Councillor). Nobody was interested then - and they are not interested now, are they ChrisSouth ?
Edited to correct the name of the cage rattler

Rommel McKoy's mother, Karen, told the Evening Standard that she had accompanied him to an interview at Merton College for a science and engineering course earlier on the day that he was stabbed to death.
She said: “He was so happy, he was going to study his dream course of science and engineering.
“He had his whole life ahead of him. We got home and he said ‘I’m just going go to check my friends’ and that’s the last I saw of him.
“I’m devastated - he wanted to be an engineer or scientist. He was so kind and thoughtful and intelligent. His friends loved him. He was calm but so ambitious. He wanted to do so well in his career that he could buy me a house by the time he was 25.
“I don’t know how I can get over this. I can’t believe he has gone, we are devastated. His 11 year old sister and older brother are finding it hard to cope. He was never in any trouble, he was a good boy.”
Rommel McKoy was a pupil at City Heights Academy in Tulse Hill.
A 17-year-old boy has now been charged with his murder and appear in custody at Bromley Magistrates’ Court later today.
Anyone with information is asked to call 101 quoting CAD 6036/04Apr. To remain anonymous contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

On reflection I should not have posted the instagram account
For all I know the person might have thought they were doing the right thing at the time and totally innocent of any malfeasance.
I've had issues myself over my Twitter account where intrusion turned nasty
1. someone attached to the management committee where I worked (this is 2008/9) started following me - presumably hoping to gather evidence of inappropriate posts
2. a former Labour leader of Lambeth was highly interactive and mainly positive - but fell out with me big-time on church corruption. In that case he blocked me - which was probably a good thing as I didn't have to put up with his other tirades which took the form of "I voted remain, but now we've got to get on with it etc etc"
So yes - probing people's social media can be harassment. On the other hand being on social media does put one a risk of uninvited attention.
Finally - I think my worst problem with social media was Facebook - but I can't prove it. Someone skimmed my id, address, date of birth to open a BT mobile account, including landline account at Cooks Road SE17.
BT must had had to write off about £1,300 in charges and ended up with an iphone to resell.
I lost my credit rating - from £2,500 to £200 in one fell swoop no arguments accepted.
So I recommend never putting your birthday on Facebook or anywhere else. And not your address.

Life is a horizontal fall.
Has anyone received their £150 council tax energy rebate yet from Lambeth council?
A shooting apparently https://insideeko.com/person-dead-shooting-near-lambeth-town-hall-in-brixton-today/

Fuck's sake
Bit of a strange comment:
Teen shot, witnesses 'crying' as 'man with shotgun' ran from scene in Brixton
Witnesses told MyLondon they heard six gunshots and saw a 'guy with a rifle' run past a bus
How do you qualify for this?

Anyone in an A-D council tax property. If you pay by direct debit you’ll automatically get it, if not you have to apply.
xsunnysuex not personally but it depends when your direct debit comes out apparently. Some people got it end of April if they pay on 1st or 5th of month normally, people who pay 15th or later (which I do) should get it this month.
That's a lot of households, where is the money coming from?

Central govt. It’s across the whole country as the government’s hilarious attempt to stem the cost of living crisis.
I caught a glimpse of this somewhere and had no idea what it was about. Hilarious but not. Anyway, I'll take the cash because skint.

I had mine last week and pay by DD to Lambeth. I somehow thought that it was a loan and had to bee paid back, but I just checked and it's not

This is not a loan- it's a one-off refund paid via the local council and funded by central government. However there is another £200 payment later in the year (October when the next Ofgem energy price-cap review happens) that is a reduction in your bill, but will be clawed back later. That will appear in the bill from your energy provider.I had mine last week and pay by DD to Lambeth. I somehow thought that it was a loan and had to bee paid back, but I just checked and it's not

When you get it apparently depends on which day of the month you pay. I believe people who pay on 1 and 5 of the month already got it in April, but people who pay on the 15 and end of the month are getting it this month. I haven't had it yet but I pay on the 15th so it should come soonish.

Totally weird. But can't see the quote in full anywhere. Has it been edited? Even ignoring the "white middle class" bit, it seems strange to find it remarkable that people's reactions might be to duck, tremble and even cry when confronted by a high speed car crash, men in balaclavas armed with multiple firearms piling out of a 4x4, and bullets being fired into a person just meters away.
Sounds like the victim is ok (considering...)

Do think "My London" is the Marxist-Leninist subsidiary of Reach plc? They do after all own the Daily Mirror and the Daily Express, which seem pretty incompatible in terms of political views.
The original post on InsideEko seems even more dubious. Most of their headlines seem to concern Hungarian migrant issues and people suing congress over impeachment in the USA. Sounds like InsideEko is a subsidiary of RT??

The Old Post Office Bakery on Landor Road is going to be closing.They've got a sign just inside the door saying on the 8th of May (IIRC). The woman behind the counter said that John and Richard are looking to retire and trying to find someone to take over the business as a going concern but haven't found anyone yet (there's nothing on their website yet). That'll be a sad day.
....I’m happy to report that it appears a buyer has been found, the bakery is staying open.
