All the low life had a busy weekend by the looks of things then!
The island is not the islsnd it used to be.
The 70s and 80s were the good times, now it’s
like Croydon on sea.
It does seem a lot of people exodus from Croydon to here. I’ve been living here 10 years and has lost count of the amount of people who are here from Croydon. I’m personally from Biggin Hill.
I remember first coming down here in the late 90s. It was still different then, compared to now.
Who cares
Indeed
No-one cares, apparently. That is why I’m leaving this dead island.
Bye!
both seem (lm guessing here) to have injuries caused by a bladed article ( I’m guessing again) but one has been released,,,, what is it , let the least violent out (guessing again yr right)
or is it the easy one the one who grasses or the one with form, I have nothing against the police but it the way of things I’m guessing
Or the one who’s house was being burgled and defended himself from a attempted murder? Was allowed to defend his house and partner
