"Weird and gimmicky" says the Police Federation about Johnson's plan to make offenders sentenced to Community Service wear High-viz uniform ....

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/202 ... d-gimmicky

Seems that all of Johnson's mega policy announcements (now that he no longer wants to talk about covid and Brexit) are just vacuous nonsense.
Anyone for a royal yacht?

The high street is a mere reflection of what it once was. James St is a dump of an area now, you can’t get around anywhere as all the back roads have been blocked off in their stupid little Holland project. You can’t park anywhere as it’s permits only, hardly a way to bring people into the area. How many stabbing and shootings in the last year? Big drug problem in the area as well. There’s what 17 confirmed gangs in Walthamstow!! Really, wow.

Yes I can see that the demographic is changing and the hipsters are moving in, maybe the tide is turning, well at least I hope it is. The street where my house is has been cleaned once in a year and that was by the residents with the road closed off. Like I said above my street is cleaned every week, Road sweepers clean the roads, the grass verges are cut, it’s proper looked after which is reflected by the type of people who live here, it stays clean.

If my council can do it, then why can’t labour run ones do the same?
Poppycock Thor

3 bed house on Eden road ( tiny houses ) £ 895,000. - I’ve seen that one and it hasn’t sold yet and a year ago it would probably have cleared a million.

No more stabbings in e17 than there was in the 80s 90s - mostly disputes were sorted by deists, but yes stabbing did occur.
Dont know if you.remember the murder outside of the rising sun - yes
Or the one outside mcCanns wine bar ( whipps cross wine bar) - yes
or the murder outside of mountjoys on markhouse road. - don’t remember

The market is the best its been since M&S left it & selbourne walk opened .- don’t agree
Stalls are being properly regulated with the 5 stall rule again as it used to be till the mid 90s - maybe so but there’s probably less than half of what there used to be and most now just sell crap and toot. ,

I got my 1st "bit of gear" ( lebanese ) down the market when i was 18
Whilst working down there. - I guess you’re talking drugs? If it’s food, nice one I ate my first experience of their food in Santa Barbara around a flame pit and very nice it was too.

Shops were getting done down there so often insurers were starting to refuse insurance policies. - its was a sign of the times, ram raiding, but things move on and now counterfeit goods are all the rage or cyber crime, it’s still there just concentrated on something else.

Mini Holland is great , keeps all the tourists away & boosts public transport & my lungs havent felt so clean in years& i smoke to. But it harms business which brings employment and taxes, there’s lots of complaints from them.

CPZ's have been in E17 since 1985 at least , our house was one of the first with permits. - they were promised to be free, never to be charged, granted its helped with parking so that’s a bonus, but you can’t park cos your not in that particular zone. Again it harms business cos you can’t stop.

James street was always a sh*thole. - not exactly true, but maybe

Gangs .
Markhouse road
Hoe street &
Wood street
Used to be a time people from certain pubs would visit pubs on any of the other 2 main roads for gang trouble - the visits from one pub to another was not gang related ever, I know cos I used to drink in them, they were to sort out differences between people, the type of people that don’t back down. Never gang related. Now Hoe St has the Somalian grug gangs openly peddling their trade, the Albainians drove them out of James St. that’s not what I want to see ever.

Remember the little alley way by the central

In the 80s it was known by locals as muggers alley
Not any more. - I don’t remember that and I used to walk through it often, maybe I was lucky?

Last of all the night the guns came out in the brewery tap - top pub that back in the day, used to love drinking in there, if you were an outsider then maybe you’d have a problem, but they looked after there own.
The day the guns came out down the high street to stop the steamers walking into shops by gangs with knives - don’t remember that, but that’s not to say it did t happen.
The day the guns came out during the race riots .- yeah sad time that was, I was proper scared when all that was going down and I’m talking Broadwater farm time as that was spreading like wildfire.


This rose tinted glasses b*ll*cks certainly isnt Walthamstow. - I can say I walked those streets every day, going to school I had to get a train and bus and never once did I get in a fight, maybe cos I was well known, I don’t know. Drugs were around, but not like now where you get asked if you want any and they get Annoyed when you say no. The streets were safer than they are now, cleaner too. The high st was buzzing now I see a sh*t hole. I hope it recovers and I do believe it will in time. The hipsters are moving in, lots of properties are being renovated and extensions and loft conversions are being done. The major minus is jobs and companies leaving the area, that’s a major downside.
Rising Sun Murder was inside Pub, the pot man shotgun blasted for takings. Do not know what you are referring to my old mate? This having been said I agree that prices in Walthamstow are rocketing and Thor talking nonsense as mr Brother works for main agent in area. Murders galore in area sadly in the parallel world of drugs which is thankfully confined to those who enter that Twighlight Zone of misery.

You obviously have No knowledge of the murder im talking about .
The guy was sent down for murder .
His friend was sent down for 18 months
He ( the friend ) was in a deep Drug addicted phase of his life .
He ended up getting life later .

https://www.thejusticegap.com/dysfunctional-life/

( His story here including the night of the Rising Sun murder outside )

You'd know his face if you drank in the tap or the sportsmen &
Other pubs about .

Ive Known Leroy an awful long time & while never being his friend
We would talk as we knew lots of each others friends & always got on ok .

I knew the guy who got killed outside the Rising sun as well in the same way i knew Leroy .
I also know the guy who went down for Life . Working in the High st E17 back then
everyone kind of new everyone else & the pubs everyone drank in .

P.S thanks for dragging up 1 of Thorbyns old posts
It was FUN to read .


So Matey boy
I accept your HUMBLE APOLOGY for doubting my knowledge .

Move along now EE-orr 🐎

As Boris announces NI rises to pay for public health and social care I'm not sure what I enjoy more

The low tax bods decrying any increases on taxation regardless of a pandemic

Or the FBPE brigade saying "What about the £350M per week on the bus" only to be advised that the Tories have already gone over this amount

I'm a leftie and I'm not unhappy about paying more for a better welfare state - I'm fortunate enough to be able to afford to pay more tax / NI.

However, I am unhappy that those less fortunate than me having to pay increased NI. I'm also unhappy at (so far to date) any lack of alternative being put forward by Keir Starmer.

I know the left have a pathological hatred of the Tories but it’s starting to make no sense anymore. This Government are raising taxes. They are they most fiscally liberal government in decades. They are building all over the green belt. They are giving an amnesty to thousands of illegal immigrants crossing the channel every week. They are as left as the BBC on social issues. They even locked down the whole country. Once in a blue moon a backbencher will throw a bone like the guy that criticised the knee but the Tories or Johnson and the Tories have headed off into Corbyn territory. They are not in any way shape or form right wing. Labour wIll win the next election because Tory voters will stay at home without the threat of Corbyn.

Shootings and stabbings including murders daily around Capworth Street often unreported, a parallel world especially after dark.

Incredible. While many may not agree with how it's to be funded, most will agree that the Tories finally making provisions for Social Care is a step in the right direction and a good thing. So of course this should happen...
