Yea seen it on the news terrible there was thousands trying to get in.
They must of expected something like this to happen because the performer sent out letters asking people not to turn up without tickets.

I'm just waiting for someone to blame it all on the police. The venue and police were presented with an impossible situation. That said there are some questions they have to answer as throwing a woman down steps at best isn't a good look But the real issue here is we need a change in the law. That Euro final should have been the big wake up that people in numbers believe they can swarm their way into events without tickets. People that try that and those that use social media to organise such should be in jail. |

I'm just waiting for someone to blame it all on the police. There is already a complaint lodged against a Police Officer who pushed one of the mob down the stairs trying to force their way in, one of his colleagues was assaulted by the mob and one of the morons was arrested, all the fault of the Police of course they are all racists, even those who are not white. |

Maybe play a game and do spot the token white guy in that crowd. He's there somewhere.

He's worried he might end up on the till working in Asda for the rest of his career. What with the mortgage, wife and family, it is too much to risk. |

Well reports say he's already been cleared www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/brixton-crush-officer-pushes-woman-b2247082.htmlSlightly surprising at the speed but IMHO the video suggests she was the prime architect of her own misfortune and that he wasn't intentionally throwing her down those steps. It's not a great watch though, he really should have been more aware of those steps. www.tiktok.com/@tonimarie177/video/7177523816229244166 |

The only whites I can see are the policemen in the Thin Blue Line separating civilisation from entropy. Imagine what it's going to be like when they're no longer around. Shouldn't be too much longer now. |

Shouldn't be too much longer now. I had an old friend who moved to Brixton because he was trying to get a computer job. I went down to visit once and like it was a very costly place, but actually very cheap and in a concrete jungle. I only ever visited the once. He met some guy who he worked with promoting gigs down at the Fridge. I heard they were also involved at promoting gays at the Fridge, a bit like that club called Heaven. This was another reason I was put off returning. I guess he is likely to be out of there now, but it was a steep price to pay to get a job. |
