I still hope they are not too badly hurt!

I asked police what was going on as my son often comes home at that time and the 185 was in the cordon, he said "someone was stabbed" I asked if it was a young guy, he said "Is your son black" I said no, then he said you've nothing to worry about, and he's not dying.

I have not said that, I am asking people to report anything they may have seen to the police.

Sorry if I appear "heavy handed", I am simply asking people to not post rumours as they can be detrimental to the incident, such as the "someone's been killed" "no one's been killed" posts.

Major or minor, it's still one too many.

maybe Im an old cynic, maybe not, but ultimately these things can have a "greater good". I hope no-one is injured too seriously, but if it means that the "clowns" involved in the incident change their ways long-term then maybe, just maybe, the world might be a better place for us all, them included. Better it didnt happen in the first place sure, but if it does lets hope it has a positive impact to those involved.

kel and theallseeingeye, i think admin is just trying to make the (very good) point that rumour mungering about something this serious isn't particularly constructive - i've seen relatives in hospital waiting rooms browsing the forum on PDAs and putting the fear into them on principle of freedom of speech isn't so helpful. Neither is knit-picking an attempt to encourage people to come forward.

    • Surprised at how many people take the 'oooh it's great it got approved, something is better than nothing' view. This is exactly Southwark council's approach, pandering to greedy developers for the absolute bare minimum of social and affordable housing. It's exactly why, under their leadership, only a fraction of social and affordable housing has been built in the borough - weirdly Mccash chose to highlight their own failures in his 'near unprecedented' (yet unbiased 😆) submission. All the objectors i have met support redevelopment, to benefit those in need of homes and the community - not change it forever. The council could and should be bolder, demand twice the social and affordable housing in these schemes, and not concede to 8 storeys of unneeded student bedsits. If it is a question of viability, publically disclose the business plan to prove how impossible it might be to turn a profit. Once the thing is built these sites can never be used for social or affordable housing. The council blows every opportunity, every time. Its pathetic. Developers admitted the scale was, in this instance, not required for viability. The student movements data seemed completely made up. The claim that 'students are taking up private rentals' was backed up with no data. There is empty student housing on denmark hill, needs to be fixed up but it's there already built. The council allows developers years to build cosy relationships with planners such that the final decision is a formality - substantiated objections are dismissed with wooly words and BS. Key meetings and consultations are scheduled deliberately to garner minimal engagement or objection. Local councillors, who we fund, ignore their constituents concerns. Those councillors that dare waiver in the predetermination are slapped down. Not very democratic. They've removed management and accountability by having no nomination agreement with any of the 'many london universities needing accommodation' - these direct lets MAKE MORE MONEY. A privately run firm will supposedly ensure everyone that those living there is actually a student and adheres to any conduct guidelines. There's no separation to residents - especially to ones on their own development. Could go on... We'll see how many of the 53 social/affordable units that we're all so happy to have approved actually get built.
