No more of a drive-by comment.

Innocent people might get caught in the cross-fire.

Maybe people guilty too.

I must be hanging out in the wrong post-code.

Priceless, loved it, thanks.

This is such a better class of disagreement, really isn't it?!

Anyway, kudos for getting the exploit on my webcam

Just a hunch of mine but I think that a particular celebration of diversity and multiculturalism (Notting Hill Carnival) will be very active this year.

 

[BaldBaBoon]

Smoke and Mirrors when it comes to Notting Hill.

If a stabby incident or other usual unpleasentness occured within the actual carnival...effectively on the road during the march or within the first few lines of spectators, then it was put down as a Notting Hill crime if there was no other way of downgrading or hiding it.

If it happened 15 foot away off the route then it was a normal area crime and the statistics would trip feed it out over the next few weeks with very little detail of who,what and to whom.

Unless they had tested positive for Covid within 28 days

Stab that glances off the skull?

Stab that glances off the skull?

Never mind that. How in the hell can there be a three-year-high in the murder rate in That London Like with a bloody full lockdown being in place?

It's almost as if people think that they can get away with breaking the law or something.

Oh, wait...
