      Was born in lewisham hospital and lived in new cross ! My parents used to drop me off in the ferrier estate at my aunties house with no idea what that meant! I got dropped off at other uncles and auntie houses in lewisham and brockley too! Just never got caught up !

    That interview with the Met police commander was fucking unbelievable. Just goes to show they waited for the problem to get out of hand before they took any real action - makes you think how many lives could have been saved had they took things more seriously.

    • @bigwendigo2253

      It’s classic police action. A lot of times the police will refuse to take action for things like a missing person, they try to convince the person making the report they have to wait 24-48 hours, or they shrug them off as a runaway. If someone burgles your house all they do is take a report and move on. Half the time it takes them hours and hours to show up so you can just make a report. Nothing happens unless they’re lucky enough to catch a crime in the act or the crime is extreme enough.

He also attended a gym very near the Portobello rd market. The interviewer was always way ahead of his time. For anybody from West London who can remember the Front Line on ALL SAINTs Road... Big shout out... Brings back so many memories. I was brought up on the Lisson Grove Estate. We were know as the Edgeware Rd boys. Must admit we were tame, but had out moments.

      Makes me understand why my parents generation were always saying "bring back national service"! I also remember (just!) Mods and rockers.. Brighton grinding to a halt. Boys this age have always been at risk of this behaviour. At least in the countryside you can give them an axe and a pile of wooden pallets and set them chopping firewood instead of each other 😂 I can't imagine how nice the lady running the youth club is,I know I wouldn't want to do it! We do need a nationwide strategy for youth services, shutting them down wholesale was a catastrophe. But the traditional form of a hall with a stereo and a couple of pool tables isn't enough. Boys like this need real challenges so they stop inventing them for themselves.

    I met a few guys in gangs in 2001 when I visited England, it was interesting to see the differences and similarities to our gangs in the US. The gangs in England tend to attack in bigger groups, with knives and machetes. In the US its usually a smaller group of heavily armed guys hosing down the large group. US gang members have a higher danger of being killed by police, in England they arent worried about the police because as you see they dont use the same tactics against them. I dont know how much has changed in those 20 plus years, but what I saw was an equally dangerous gang but different tactics.

      I'd say they've gotten worse and probably more similar to the american gangs these days. These days everyones got a big fat knife down there trousers and a lot of them have guns too, social media has made tensions worse and instead of vandalising bus stops and stealing phones they're all selling hard drugs and doing armed robberies on other drug dealers.
      On the plus side you're a lot less likely to get randomly attacked as long as you don't look like one of them.
      Still I grew up in a relatively not too bad part of central london and I used to hear at least one or two shootings happen on my street every year which I don't think would've been the case 20 years ago.

I remember when at 7pm there would be a huge pack od dogs, you see the people let them out and they ran riot lol. Anyways since this documentary the estate got much worse. Looks can be deceiving it does look all good but theres alot of crack dealers street drinkers and the current gang WEC (Watersedge crew) i must admit there is nothing to do there. There is one shop and in the lst couple of years they built a skatepark so at least the coucil is trying to help the youth problem. But that estate is nowhere near as bad as some of the other estates near by. Which is a good thing. We need peace unity not violence.

My children are oblivious to the traumas I went through, and any old acquaintances from those times. I learned many great lessons from being in the thick of it and have become sharply aware of how to make things right for my kids. I am in a stable marriage and if you were to pass me on the street you would never know that I would sit on a brick wall all hours of the day with many of those people scheming and planning degeneracy and delinquent acts. There is a mother in this show, the mother of Jude. I remember when that happened, and as a parent now, I can't believe she never pulled her son out of that cesspit St Josephs's academy.

    It’s by design, to quote Rishi Sunak:
    “I managed to start changing the funding formulas, to make sure areas like this (Tunbridge Wells) are getting the funding they deserve because we inherited a bunch of formulas from Labour that shoved all the funding into deprived urban areas and that needed to be undone. I started the work of undoing that.”

    Growning up in SW london From the age of 17-25 ... 3 friends of mine were killed from stabbings, another 2 stabbed in the face but lived, and all had been to prison ranging from 1-7 year bids ... but to me growing up in this environment was completely normal..Everyone from a council estate lives this life.

    I grew up on the Ferrier Estate, I wouldn't say it was so bad in the 80's but by the 90's it really picked up. Some kid's from my school just went off and killed another over a stupid rumour, that was one of the first teenage murders in the area, one of the kid's that did it got a life setence, from then it just got worse and worse.

The Police managed to put a stop to it by lying in wait and quickly arresting them as soon as it happened. Late at night some kid's were literally intimidating locals, and some people were afraid, muggings, burgarly and assaults were increasing. Maybe that was part of the reason they decided to demolish the estate in the end.
