kicking off in Eastbourne

[Triggaaar]

two choppers searching for gang carrying baseball bats and guns in the Langney area

Two helicopters? TWO?

I only wish the local constabulary had that sort of money to spare

I think you've misunderstood Enda

I agree. Types of crimes we are witnessing down here are getting worse. Guns and baseball bats? this is Eastbourne not London.

The argus reports it as police entering the building at 8pm and advising people not to remain in their homes. Unfortunate error in that I would imagine

You are correct. The police tweeted for people to REMAIN in their homes.

Imitation firearm. Still bad though.

I'll bet is your mates from hangleton who caused all this baseball battery and helicopter business in gods waiting room.

Oh good God no, unless it was with a rotring pen and Apple Mac, they are more of the arty farty type.

... And I saw a field mouse steal the entire contents of the bird feeder that we have hanging outside our kitchen window.

It's not just humanity that is out of control.

I bought a squirrel proof feeder last week. A couple of days after I had hung it up I looked out the window, feeder had been dislodged from where it was hanging, contents burst out and a squirrel was sitting next to a few remaining seeds with a cartoon big belly and probably doing loud squirrel belches. And where was Katy Bourne, our so called Police and Crime Commissioner, nowhere to be seen

No chance, it all gets spent transporting horses to police the non event that was St Georges day in Brighton this year, and paying the overtime bill for it.

Higher courts have ruled that imitation firearms should be treated the same as real ones in terms of seriousness when it comes to sentencing so someone's in deep shite.

Ha, I wish They don't pay everyone overtime for that kind of thing. They just cancel their days off and re-roster them to another, typically far less welcome day, like a Tuesday in March or something.

The only ones getting paid extra for it would have been the horses & riders they stuffed in the helicopter from Thames Valley, or wherever they borrowed them from this time.

Quite right too- hard to tell the difference until a bullet hits someone [or gun just goes "click"]

I totally agree. I meant that at least in this instance, no one was in danger of being shot.

South Glamorgan probably......

True but I'm not sure where isn't? Bloke shot dead in Goudhurst, murder in Mayfield etc etc.

Croydon is on the verge of gentrification.

funnily enough had this conversation the other day, along the lines of who would have thought thirty years ago that Eastbourne town centre would be scuzzier than Brighton.

not so long ago some poor individual was kicked and punched to death outside a shop in the Hamden park area.

Funny comment that considering pavilion had 296 violent crimes in February this year as opposed to Eastbourne town centre's rather paltry 40. But go ahead, keep running Eastbourne down even though the FACTS don't support your prejudice.

No, really, it isn't.
