I don't know about you, but I'm entirely capable of making decisions without the guidance of journos. If I hadn't thought before that journalism is primarily about fitting the facts to the angle rather than actually investigating then coming up with a conclusion, a few years living with a journo confirmed the reality.

I bloody love the BBC and hope it can survive. But then I happily put myself in a lefty luvvie prosecco-swigging socialist knitting my own organic bedsocks bracket. I also think most jobbing journalists do a reasonable job.


What is the hostility to Gudrun all about? Do we want to pretend that these statistics are all a figment of someone's imagination with no acknowledgement of the truly horrible experience it is to be burgled?


I see one EDF user's 10 year old has hacked their account: "go away Gudrun, we don't want you publicising a bad image of our area."

As pointed out above, the hostility might relate to a concern this is going to be a beat-up of insurance claim stats to draw potentially incorrect inferences as to the comparative level of crime. My guess is that folk don't want the potential adverse effect on house prices.


I don't live in SE22 and am a knit-your-own noodles type. I just know enough about how hacks work to think there might be some substance in the concerns of a beat-up.

    • Looking for a celebrity impersonator for a party or any good companies any one knows, please let me know!!
    • That’s another big hike on the Sainsbury’s mini rolls! I spoke to one of the managers on the day of the anchovies price rise but all he could say was that his store doesn’t set the prices. Very vague and not helpful. i started this thread about price rises in  Sainsbury’s and it’s somehow being blamed on Brexit etc! 
    • And the Sainsbury’s own brand chocolate mini rolls have gone from £1.15 to £1.40 overnight, so 22%-ish. I prefer them them to the Cadbury original because they have a lot more chocolate on them, presumably because they’re made in a less advanced factory. I would think that getting the Rizla thin coating of chocolate that Cadbury’s accountants demand onto a piece of sponge is quite a sophisticated operation. Discuss.
    • Another recommendation for Leon. He was able to come out to our electrical elergency within 24 hours of me contacting him. His communication was great and whilst he could not solve our problem, he was able to perform tests to identify this and did so quickly and efficiently. He charging  is very fair and his manner very pleasant. Both of these in contrast to some experiences I have had elsewhere.    happy to put my name to recommending Leon. His number is  07707 925039.
