Used to happen at Clapham North (might still do). They would work shifts with some bloke often hanging around and meeting them after their shift (presumably to collect). Nasty stuff.

Specsavers is definitely the most covid-protected safe space I've been into in Brixton!
Edit: and they did a brilliant job of getting a broken contact lens out of my eye after five days. I also paid £10 for high tech 3D laser scan of my eyeballs. Was great to warch!

Strictly speaking, the girl in the trolley should have a traffic cone on her head. Amateurs.

Can't see an active Social Housing/Regen thread so I'm posting this here.
News from Elephant and Castle where the Public Interest Law Centre Judicial Review resulted in a marginal increase in social housing units on the Delauncey Scheme (from 33 to 116).
The details are here:
Elephant JR fails, but campaigners hail improvements as victory! • Public Interest Law Centre
Wonder if locally significant Four Communications were involved? I see one of their former employees ended up doing some work for Delauncey - but since property development and regeneration is the only large-scale industry seemed to be viable in south London currently, that might be inevitable.

Nor did I - but Red and Black the controversial anarchist commentary from the UK posts every day on Youtube.
I guess it makes a change from Radio Four's Thought for the Day.
If you meant the actual disturbance and police action and shooting/stabbing you haven't been paying attention.

I read this stuff from top Police people and wonder why the scenes of women being pushed around by cops happens. He is giving the we are training our officers to police sensitively line. So what went wrong on Clapham Common is my question. That was not a tough policing situation. It was a peaceful vigil. And this highly trained police force lost it.

Funnily enough, that “toughest place to police in western Europe” claim comes from an unnamed report , and is not a quote from the head of lambeth police.Blimey!

If you follow the link in that article, one of the mylondon journalists spent an evening with lambeth police where one of the junior officers made this claim, quoting the anonymous report, presumably to impress the journalist. That article is headlined: 'I visited Brixton with police as pubs reopened but the most eventful thing was an old lady escaping from a care home'.
Shitty sensationalism.
(Incidentally, the article ends with the police finding the woman and taking her back to the care home: “When we arrive she duly calls the manager a “f****** c****” and the rest of the staff who greet her get the same treatment.”)
Pickman's model

Strictly speaking it should be a shopping trolley and she should be chucking into a traffic cone as the trolley goes over a pothole
