Once a wally, DanH, always a wally.

Jackson.. Wan Bissaka.... Sansom.. Nicholas.. Cannon.. Guehi.... Zaha... Thomas.. Byrne... Holton.. Rogers.. that should do it..

My Nan and Grandad used to live on Consort road where this shooting took place.

Of course, back then it was a hideously white area and lacked any of the benefits of diversity so they were the poorer for it but still, a connection of sorts.

As to this young lady, well she was not my cup of tea in many, many ways and had a proven potty mouth on her which I suspect might have rubbed many people up the wrong way but if you want to live in any kind of civilised society, you should be willing to accept that and certainly not a justification for her being shot in the head. I hope she makes a full recovery and whoever the miscreant is, feels the full weight of the law.

But my heart goes out to the Soc.libs. They must have been praying that the shooter was white. Ideally, some Gammon, who has been stalking her for months. Taking vengeance on her for being 'uppity'. Just imagine how happy that would make them feel? There own George Floyd but even better. A young, black lady. Active in BLM. Making all the right noises. And now gunned down by some white working-class hetrosexual male. Like all their Christmas coming at once. s***, they would be down on BOTH knees for this one. Wallowing in it.

Instead, from what I have read, turns out she was in a garden in Peckham, in the early hours, and a party has exploded into the sort of ludicrous violence, perhaps a dispute over whose trainers are the best, that is sadly all to commonplace, and she gets a random bullet in the head.

Life just ain't fair.

Comment from member of vigil at Ruskin Park. " bad eggs ", that's what we call gangstas now.

Let's see if any of the many people there ( forget COVID in the BAME community ) offer any help in bringing the guilty parties to justice.

I know exactly where that bridge is, sends a shiver

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

Apparently Diane Abbott on LBC was blaming it on the death threats, she was advised differently but would not accept it. Presenter commented that she was just stirring up racial hatred. She really is a disgrace and to think some would have had her as Home Secretary

It's odd that when there is a police related incident there are lots of eye witnesses and mobile cams when it is gang related nobody knows nuffink.

I will be pleasantly surprised if the people at the party co-operate with the police and help identify the shooter.

One more point

Don't worry everyone. George Floyd was killed a year ago, so the media can focus on that and ignore all that awkward stuff about gangsters and the incomprehensible twaddle spouted by Black power groups.
