How indeed! I thought the not linked thing actually ment the Croydon, Chiselhurst and Wandsworth stabbings on Friday wern"t linked, not the Croydon ones, but could be wrong.

kids who grew up without dads at home......stab stab stabby

Kayla did Anfield & Old Trafford

A lot of assumptions here (probably correct) but anyway.

Really horrible situation. I was going to go for a walk late a night Friday because i hadn't hit my steps for the day, good thing I didn't because I live pretty close to one of the stabbings on Friday and again Saturday (if anyone knows where exactly near Selhurst it happened? I drove that way to go to Doneagles last night and you'd be none the wiser).

Khan needs to get a handle on this, its just completely out of control and he really shouldn't be a shoe-in to be re-elected.

La la la your mum

What do you think about stop and search (for the time it takes to clear all this sh1t up)? Without it unfortunately this won’t be solved.

knives scare the s***e out of me.
Ive seen a few incidents working around south london.
We was painting an exterior in streatham, a guy goes running past me, like he'd win the 100M.
immediatly after him was another fella with a large carving knife, started chasing him around parked cars in a grim game of cat n mouse, then they were off again.
we got in our van & locked the door.
Another time comimg back late from a club i was going to stop at KFC (there is/ was ?) facing west croy station.
didnt stop off, poor sod was laying up against the glass smothered in blood, all up the window, over the pavement.
Horrible stuff.

Kids,tired of being bothered by your pesky parents?
Then leave home, get a job & pay your own bills, while you still know everything.

Well said, this is exactly the right attitude to have. If losing 5 minutes out of your day saves a life to knife crime, we would all do it in an instant. I think that done correctly, a search can also become a chat with your local officers. There needs to be a bit more respect about those trying to protect us from the public in general but the Police have to get their attitude bang on as well.

I think harsher punishments for carrying a concealed weapon need to come in too. If it was 2 to 3 years imprisonment without parole I’m pretty sure knife crime would plummet.
