Is/Was there ever an East Wickham?

If not, why?

Sigh.

West Wickham is hardly representative of Croydon.

Where did I say it was?

It is in a London Borough and the exam question was whether London is a place that scars you and where you will inevitably get stabbed.

Serious violent crime massively up year on year.

I live in leafy Chiswick and even here people are now being stabbed, mugged and threatened as part of street robberies. A good friend of mine was stabbed in the local park recently for his watch. The police are telling us that gangs are coming in on the tube because people are generally wealthy and an easy/soft target.

How bad does it have to get before people admit it’s a serious problem? What metric should we use for this?

The only positive thing you can say about Khan is that it’s happening in most of our big city’s.

It’s only going to get worse and the only answer we have seems to be massage the figures and blame it on “lack of opportunity” or racism of anything else that excuses those that carry this out.

It’s a national disgrace.

So Khan enforces 'modesty on transport poster adverts....then he goes to the Lgbt parade and smiles among half- naked men dancing in thongs?

A career politician opportunist if I have ever seen one. Chasing the Muslim vote and then the lefty vote with impunity.

If there were votes in eating richtea biscuits he would declare himself their most ardent and longstanding supporter.

Will be interesting if Sadiq freezes tube fares again as his manifesto (and eventual likely victory next year). My brother-in-law works for TFL and said they would be close to going bust as they are severely stretched right now.

Talk about a gravy train.

But to be honest....I find it hard to be annoyed with examples of overpaid working class type jobs when the wages drawn by some of our better classes is enough to qualify as a societal kick in the balls on far larger scales.
