I agree with Loz. Terrorists want us to be afraid and affected. In reality they are small in number and can never really threaten our way of life. They don't have an army big enough. That doesn't help those who are murdered of course, but containment is the only defence we have at home. Sadly some plots are always going to get through, but in reality more people die in car accidents every year than do from attrocious attacks like those in Paris. We need to keep a sense of perspective and make sure the security services have everything they need to keep us as safe as possible.

Utter nonsense Blah Blah.. Small in number ?


70 years ago 1 man created a machine so vast it resulted in the deaths of millions of men, women and children globally.


That was an ideology such as we face today from a different group of extremists.

Some of which may well be already amongst us.

Hitler. The Nazis.


Are you one of those in denial about the Holocaust ?

And the millions of Russians that died.

This is not about you.


LAST NIGHT over 100 civilians lost their lives.


People have been effected by this event in one way or another, but Of course, some people are just so wrapped up in their own lives that not only does this point go straight over your heads but, of all the ways someone could choose to entertain themselves this evening, it had to be standing in their soggy back garden replicating the sound of gunshots.


Many events this evening have cancelled fireworks for this very reason.


It's inappropriate.

Every year, a few weeks before and after Bonfire night, fireworks are regularly let off, probably no more than hijinks from youngsters. The people who died in Paris were mainly young adults, out enjoying themselves, I'm sure they wouldn't want people to stop doing that, life has to go on otherwise the terrorists have won...

I think Foxy may have meant a killing machine.

I agree with OP, out of respect fireworks should not have been let off but it is individuals choice and so offence shoukd not be taken because others do not share same view.

Let the poster that Foxy aimed the comment at take offence if he/she chooses, dont stir the s#+t against Foxy.

Far too much 'offence' being banded around willy nilly. 127 people have judt been murdered across the channel, now that is offensive.

"Couldn't agree more! And calling someone a holocaust denier is grossly offensive IMO"


I was going to stand Foxy up for this one but I know he couldn't possibly mean it, regardless of whether he actually wrote it. So I'll take the insult on the chin, even though it was completely undeserved (ie . How can you deny the h

So I'll take the insult on the chin, even though it was completely undeserved (ie. How can you deny the holocaust when you don't even realise he's talking about the nazis).

This was the conversation..


70 years ago 1 man created a machine so vast it resulted in the deaths of millions of men, women and children globally.


Foxy what machine has killed millions that was created 70 years ago ?

I was thinking nuclear weapons but the figure you state is grossly over the death count from that machine.


Hitler. The Nazis.

Are you one of those in denial about the Holocaust ?

And the millions of Russians that died.



Oh I see Foxy, when you say machine you mean regime - with you now.


All sorted..


No malice intended..

I believe that no malice was intended. But probably would have been better if it had gone like this.

      Dog Faeces in East Dulwich!! 

      By Katherty · Posted

      On the original topic - there was more of this on Whateley Road today. Same place but the other side of the road. Could be the same dogwalker as for the other nearby roads?   I don't have a dog - but would have thought it's hard for owners not to notice when a dog is doing it in the middle of a pavement?

      New Shops in Dulwich / Peckham - 2024 Edition

      By Cancerian · Posted

      Thought I’d take a trip down to Rye Lane this morning to visit the charity shops etc. I usually park in the Morrisons car park and buy stuff there and then the nearby shops. I know there are a few shops near the Aylesham centre that are having to close (Boots the chemist was a shoplifters favourite over the years) but I was shocked to see the extent of shop closures, graffiti, overall decline in the area.  Sometimes I get the bus and wanted to visit the Crises charity shop but it didn’t open until 10.30am and it had a coffee place inside. They have a shop in Rye Lane but are missing out on early rising customers. Walking down towards Santendar and the Primark store was very empty.Just hope that isn’t due for closure. The security guards are very nonchalant. The Scope charity shop has a prime position but doesn’t promote the shop Greggs have done away with their self service due to the number of thefts of food items.  The Poundland was quite empty too but I visit this one as they have stock since the Camberwell one closed down.

      My Bloody Valentine at the Old Nun's Head

      By FoodieTwoShoes · Posted

      Maybe I'm behind the times, but in the old days if you went to a pub for charity fundraiser you'd have a quiz or karaoke and you'd be chipping in for a new scanner at your local hospital or maybe sending some poor kiddie for some cancer treatment abroad. Nowadays you can roll down to the Old Nun's head in Nunhead and tip your money into a bucket for some sad young woman to go a private surgeon and have her breasts sliced off -  as if that was going to be some kind of life-saving treatment!  Not only that, she's publicising her Valentine's crowdfunder with a funny ha ha (not) cartoon of a girl (see pic) with a hypodermic in her bum and calling it 'Valen-Tits-off'. Jesus wept. Whatever happened to hearts and flowers? It's so unbelievably sick. I'm a woman, I've pretty much still got all the woman-bits intact. Periods and puberty weren't much fun, I was bullied at school, wondered about my sexuality and boys and spots and the rest of it, got called a lezzer by the class cow, but I got through it. And I would no more think that cutting bits off a girl was the solution to her misery than I would put my teenage daughter on a diet if she was diagnosed with anorexia. I can't be the only person who finds the pub - and its publicity material - very VERY offensive?
