This email highlights the sheer fearlessness of London criminals.
The Dame does not believe there is a shortage of police: she does believe there is a dearth of skills amongst senior police management.
We need to return to the days when the Force was run with rigour by officers with a military background who understood man management. Too often we see police aimlessly driving around in vans and luxury 4 x 4's when they should be off their backsides and walking the streets of London.
Dear Dame
Sorry about emailing you again this is on a different subject and didn't want to overload you on one email.
On Sunday night, 6th June, with many people walking about a man attempted to steal an Eardley Crescent resident's bike. Dressed in black and armed with an angle grinder. He carried on attempting to steal the bike even after residents shouted at him to stop, even banging on their windows. He only stopped and packed up after more residents came out of their homes to intervene. This was not the end of it as he came back a few minutes later to try and pull the bike off its chain and only stopped after police arrived with their lights on, they do not appear to have caught the would-be thief.
This is the third time within a year the road has been targeted by thieves with an angle grinder outside residents' homes and bike rack at the Warwick road end.
One feels this is why foot patrols by the Met are important not so much to catch but to deter crime. As well as to be part of the community and even gather intelligence of criminal goings on!
All the best
A Resident
The senior police like taking degrees in Advanced Criminology at the Uni of Barnstaple
ReplyDeleteTory Blair's Labour Party was keen Coppers doing Sexuality Studies degrees. Jeremy Corbyn saw the police as oppressors and wanted a workers' militia instead.
DeleteWorking class Trots would make sure the punishment fits the crime.
DeleteBeware of marxists and antisemites and those who back them up.
DeleteIs EDC a Trot?
DeleteBy "EDC" do you eman Emma Dent Coad? If so, she is all things to all people.
DeleteWhen she voted for Rebecca Long Bailey as Party Leader and, whenever she cosied up to Abbott and Corbyn, she was a Marxist, possibly a Trot. But it was a different kettle of fish when she wanted the voters in Holland Park, Knightsbridge and Campden Hill to return her to parliament she was a "cuddly" Socialist; whatever that is?
There were 1000's around pushing people around in the parks during COVID. Now they have retreated back into their aircon 4 x4's
ReplyDeleteEvil doers must be punished.
ReplyDeleteBike thefts are not a real crime though, it's not like the perpetrator had denied that TransWomen are Women online, or something really vital like that now is it.
ReplyDeleteMy brother was recently a victim of a phishing scam, which fortunately he rumbled, but not after giving his personal details. A week later he was rung up by someone different, but with the same modus operandi. After he had made clear to them they were too late they had an almost amicable chat, which revealed how the criminal thought. The scammer said - "Well, I know the bank will refund you the money, so actually I am stealing from the bank, not you". The same argument presumably applies - anyone with a bike worth stealing is likely to be insured if they are prudent, so the thief thinks "I'm really stealing from the insurance company" ie The Man.
ReplyDeleteThe logic and morality of the criminal classes leaves much to be desired. It is erroneous to say that if the scam is successful the bank will refund the scammed money to the account holder. A scam in which someone is tricked in to doing something is not an "online fraud" covered by the Bank's fraud guarantee.
ReplyDeleteIt is nonsense to suggest that if a bicycle is insured and it is stolen that the thief is really stealing from the Insurance Company. The property belongs to its owner regardless of it being insured or otherwise.
