You seem to recognise that these gangs are mostly kids and so I assume you know that the 'elders' will have been involved for a (relatively) long time, are from the same area and therefore well known by all members.


So, between the kids and the elders, where do you see undercover cops fitting in without arousing suspicion?

This young man's father is an ex-volunteer at a place near Elephant & Castle where I volunteer and the two people I work with there know him well. He came in yesterday to see them and they hadn't previously registered that it was his son, who they'd also known when he was younger, who'd been killed. His father is understandably devastated and bereft. I had been out and arrived back just after he'd left to find my volunteer colleagues distraught and in tears.


It's incredibly sad and a tragic and senseless waste of a young life.

Hi folks, I hope you do not mind me posting this but next Thursday is the Police Ward Panel at Harris Girls Academy and I hope any of you who feel you want to be involved and ask the police questions, can come along.

    • Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report. 
    • I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.
    • Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.
