Brixton news, rumours and general chat

[dbs1fan]

No idea what your daughter means by priveledge there, they seem quite ordinary sorts of kids to me, but what do I know. They teach them how to be activists (is that a priveledge?) and I think that is fab, because we just had to muddle through and make it up as we went. Only assume your daughter has not met many really priveledged public school arseholes maybe?

Privilege(d)-such a difficult and confusing word....

I am hearing rumours of another knife attack near Lambeth College.

Fuck all of this.

I wonder if it's related to this: Coldharbour Lane, Brixton - news and updates

I got notification from my son's school to say that there is an incident on Brixton Hill, but has given no more details.

This tweet says there's a stabbing.

Bit of an odd Twitter source that one.
Met and press have not provided any info at all.

Has anyone mentioned the mile in my shoes installation in Windrush sq yet? Great stories from around the time of the 81 uprising.

They are there until this Thursday. It’s worth doing! The stories are great and very varied.

Trigger warning: if you are the filth you might want to skip it.

Some of those stories should be compulsory listening for the police. It's entirely possible that some of the openingly rascist cops who were young in 1981 if they are still cops now might be in very senior positions now.

It seems inappropriate to like this post but if they've got the right guy then at least that's one pathetic piece of shit off the streets.

Without wanting to make any excuses for this horrific act, probably best to remember there is a possibility that the perpetrator may have been "mad" rather than "bad", and both are victims of the overstretch of local mental health services.

I just read that her attacker slashed three other people on Town Hall Parade and Acre Lane the same day.

The other attacks were two days earlier on Saturday. Rather disconcerting that they seem to have attracted no attention at the time.

All my days blurring into one. Yes - remarkable.

 

[Winot]

WTF?

I can only think that the Saturday attacks weren’t reported at the time (which is itself concerning). If they were then hard questions need to be asked.

Military flypast tomorrow

Look up for the military flypast over Central London for the Coronation on Sat 6th May 2023

Following the pomp and ceremony of the Coronation in Westminster Abbey, a military flypast over central London is planned after the royals and fellow toffs have returned to Buckingham Palace.

Now that was loud thunder!

 

[Rushy]

Wow!

That reminds me of the thunderclap which happened very shortly after the nail bomb went off. Sent everyone diving to the ground!

This is outrageous, how can that happen.
I really hope this is not brushed under the carpet.

Interesting article from a special constable at Brixton police station and rather good end quote - sounds v believable and obviously 25% is far far too high.

I asked my partner how she saw her colleagues. “Fifty per cent of officers are good,” she said, “25% are truly excellent and 25% are in this job for all the wrong reasons, and they’re the ones the public remember.”

‘The sexism was so blatant, as if officers felt irreproachable’: my year on the streets with the Met police

From “talent spotting” women to endless lewd banter, the everyday misogyny I witnessed in my time as a special constable was a sign of a broken force

"Talent spotting women" I mean it is definitely only policemen who have ever pointed out an attractive woman to a colleague, heinous crime that it is.

Hey, i've not been to my old stomping grounds of Brixton in literally years now. I used to frequent the Lounge for coffee/beer. I gather that's closed now. Is there somewhere comparable (with nice vibe, and both booze and coffee?)

If not just a chilled coffee spot to meet someone?
