Re: Beware-moped muggings in SW area.

The really awful thing is that most of those responsible for the snatch thefts in this area are living in council housing, subsidised by the those of us who go out and work and are net taxpayers! After the 2011 riots Wandsworth Council promised us that they would evict those households whose adult m...

Re: Beware-moped muggings in SW area.

As you may be aware, there are restrictions in place which mean that only a small number of specialist police drivers are able to pursue mopeds. This is a policy we are obliged to obey, and it is not something which local officers can change or ignore. Why isn't the Met leadership speaking out to g...

Re: Beware-moped muggings in SW area.

Yet more confirmation that crime is out of control in this area and the Met do less than nothing. Of course, the fact that the number of members of the Wandsworth Met that actually live in Wandsworth can be counted on the fingers of two hands may have a lot to do with that. The majority don't even l...

Re: Talk to me about commuting from Balham

PS How accessible are the Balham train station and tube station? Can one parent access them, with a toddler asleep in a pushchair? The train station has a lift that works pretty well. The tube station has no lift access - there are a lot of stairs down to ticket hall level and they are tricky to na...

Re: Seeking opinions on the local state options?

If it doesn't charge £15,000 a year then most posters on this website are not interested. :roll: The results at La Retraite have improved significantly in the past three or four years, even though the intake has remained largely the same. It's definitely on the up but still behind other Catholic gir...

Re: Jane Ellison is out

How the NI border never came up and how the difference between EU, Singe Market and Customs union was never explained is as equally damming for remain campaign as the lies that told by the leave one reflects upon them. The NI border was discussed right throughout the referendum campaign. Equally, t...

Re: Jane Ellison is out

The Labour MPs knew full well the amendment would fail if they failed to vote, which would support the government (and Corbyn's) position...so they voted with the government with their feet! The Labour MPs knew that the amendment would fail even if they ALL voted in favour of it... You're suggestin...

Re: Jane Ellison is out

Oh pappy - you're failing - by not voting for the amendment they are supporting the government position. Any "thick" person can see that! Any more slander / libel you'd like to throw? :shock: :lol: Denwand. In your original post you didn't write "support the government position"...

Re: Jane Ellison is out

Papinian honestly, just a bit of a shame how you treat other people and other's opinions. There's not an opinion involved here. Denwand posted a lie about two local Labour MPs. I pointed it out. We know from your other posts that you're a Conservative supporter, so not surprised to see you joining ...

Well pappy my old mucker...

They will doubtless be surprised to see both Marsha de Cordova (Battersea) AND Rosena Allin-Khan (Tooting) BOTH voting with Government against Chuka Umunna’s amendment to stay in the single market and customs union. This is a lie. But then nearly everything you post here is a lie, so why should thi...

Re: Trinity Restaurant to open new restaurant on Bellevue Road

franco manca is the best in my opinion despite the original guy having sold out to a hedge fund. Franco Manca, along with The Real Greek and a couple of one off restaurants, is owned by The Fulham Shore which is a listed plc. If you want you can go and buy shares in it yourself. Giuseppe Mascoli, t...

Crossrail 2 Update

Just posting a link to this article from this morning's CityFM: http://www.cityam.com/267275/crossrail-2-route-shake-up-transport-londons-business-case It says that in the business case which TfL sent to the government in March, and seen by City A.M., the proposed station at Balham has been dropped ...

Re: Jane Ellison is out

But is there much of an upside for 'soft' brexit? Won't we be like before, but without any influence within the EU? Unable to enter separate trade talks with non-EU countries? And paying full price for it? Am I missing something here? Why would anyone believe that the U.K. would get a better trade ...

Re: Jane Ellison is out

It would be great if some of the more naive posters on this site would stop labeling as abuse views which conflict with theirs, and if they could also provide some support for the statements they make. Given the intellectually thin drivel you're trying passing off as reasoned analysis, perhaps you ...
