30th December 2008: lightng says that, a few years ago, a police officer said something about there being "7 support organisations for thieves in this area but only 1 for the victims of crime."

4th January 2009: Cyberman says "I was reading last week that there are 7 support services for criminals for every one for victims."

31st January 2009: Cyberman states as fact that "There are seven criminal support organisations for every one that supports the victims of crime."

So, Cyberman reads some hearsay factoid published anonymously on an Internet forum, and relating to one specific area of the country a few years ago.

A month later he is stating the same thing as fact, with the implication that it is true for the entire country today.

Can I start some rumours please?

[NickFitz]

Hmmm. Can I just say that it will shortly become law for every contractor to give 10 percent of their earnings to me.

I'll just wait here a few months for the money to start rolling in...

You should be getting Cyberman's first remittance in about four weeks

I probably know abut 10 people that have been stabbed. Cousin got done in the side with a dagger that went through his lung and pierced his heart, lucky to survive, another cousin git stabbed in the face with a craft knife twice and when he covered his face he got stabbed 5 times in the hands. Blade entered his eye socket but missed his eye. Totaly unprovoked, someone just decided to jump him and stab him in the face.

The stats for Glasgow show that it is 5 times worse for knife crime that London, it hardly makes the news here.

Out of interest were these 10 stabbings unprovoked? If it is inter gang violence that is one thing, but robberies or attacks of an unprovoked nature are certainly another.

I live just around the corner from the latest stabbing. Croydon is basically finished. The borough is teaming with welfare recipients and because asylum seekers are processed there, that is where many make their (free) home. It was voted Britain's 'Chavviest' town and it's easy to see why. I'm living with relatives and will be leaving by the end of the year.

Good library, though!

I don't know you... let's keep it that way.

But if I did & woz standing outside Iidl & I was living in Croydon, basically I'm f$£%$ked.

[Gonzo]

I don't like to make light of this because a young man is now dead and two kiddies will grow up knowing that their father met a violent end. There is no way to look at that other than as a tragic waste.


But


1. He was in Croydon

2. He was ouside Lidl.

So what did he expect?

I don't exactly know what Lidl is, but there was one just down the road from where I used to live in London, and I knew that it was best to go nowhere near it.

I also went to Croydon once. You don't make that mistake twice.

Fiscal Stimulus...

Build more Maximum Security Prisons.
Convict criminals for LONGER
Make them do manual labour
Create Prison Guard jobs for the jobless.

Crime, particularly knife crime is getting out of hand in this country. I refuse to bring up children anywhere near London. This saddens me as I am a Londoner born and bred, but I will move to the burbs outside the M25 to grant my kids a safer upbringing.

[TykeMerc]

It's great, if only people would stop quoting him!!

Indeed.

[scooterscot]

Another stabbing. This time, a bloke killed in front of his 3 year old daughter, on his way to visit his newborn son.

A 22 year old in custody.

What's this country coming to?

They say capital punishment does not belong in a civilised society, but I tell you reading this fills me with anger. Hang the £@$%@£$s.
