And they let the culprit out on bail, unbelieveable. Police, justice system are complete rubbish. If it were for a minor offence the police and CPS would be all over them. Waltham Forest are a complete disgrace and I am sick of the local gang trying to run this town.

He may not be the culprit, Ribena. He hasn't even been charged, let alone convicted. Innocent until proven guilty and all that jazz!

Stop blaming the politicians. It's just an excuse of which there is none valid for acting like a moron or stabbing someone regardless of the reason behind it. The public know that gangs are made up of cowards who cannot fend for themselves. That's why they join one. They will come up with every imaginable reason under the sun for being in one. Blame everyone else except their selves for their lack of intelligence and inability to get a job and live a decent lifestyle.

At the end of the day you are missing the point if the politicians done the job they were elected to do we would have a civil society.

Explain the corruption and failed promises that they continue to mug us off with.

Poverty breeds Crime
Bad Education leads to Crime
Corruption feeds Crime

It is that simple just read the info do not take my word for it.
