    • Thanks for brining this up, it is ALWAYS worth bringing up. This is our neighbourhood afterall - if we can't care about our own environs then what else should we be concerned about?  Some war far away where regular people like us won't make a jot of difference to attracts tons of cops while local kids get beat up.  It takes a cool analytical big picture head to think just how messed up this situation is.  Too much on the 90% of our lives we cannot control, too little on the 10% we can. I applaud the OP for raising this. With things like stolen bikes, broken-into parked cars, intimidated children it's worth making a report b/c more of more services are driven by stats/KPIs.  Eventually, the numbers amass.  I don't care who is stretched. Tell me someone who would say they're NOT stretched - the point is we all pay tons of tax and are deserve appropriate level of services. Would tea with a cop help? I dunno, think this needs something a bit more decisive than that.  I know there are supplementary parental patrols - worth helping them to assign their resources better by making them aware of recent trouble-spots.  Realise this was out of term-time but worth raising nonetheless.
    • Lets hope the poor lad is recovering well and these filthy violent robbers get some deserved justice sent their way sometime soon.
    • Your defence of your use of language reminds me of Johnson after England 'fans' caused trouble before, during and after the Euro 2020 final.  How ever much you loath the bloke, you have to recognise that he is a highly articulate person. Yet he descended to the language of the gutter by saying that "this lowlife should crawl under the rock they came from".  Rather than deploring their actions and saying that this behaviour did not represent what was expected in this country,  Starmer would have gone further and put them all in prison.  Thats an aside. Thanks Sue for your comment. 
    • I was just trying to understand why my albeit strident description of such vile attackers, as fully described, should merit watering down. This attack wasnt, clearly in my view, some cry for help by a suppressed minority,which might be in some way excusable. It was vile and the perpetrators vile. To call my comment 'reactionary' is simply weird.
