A 16-year-old boy was left fighting for his life after being stabbed outside East Croydon Station just minutes after another teenager was left with serious facial injuries.

Posted by: David on 11:19am Thu 25 Jan 07 Each time Croydon recovers from its last incident (such as the Euro 2004 riots) something else comes along to taint its name again. Is gang warfare going to do anything other than make Croydon a bigger joke? I have lived all my life in Croydon, but the bad elements are rapidly overtaking the good. If things don't change, it won't be long before I make the decision to move elsewhere.

These kids go round ruling the place as we have no power to stop them. Even authorities do nothing. If they have no respect for authority figures then they are hardly going to have any respect for anyone else. I say they should be sent to fight the war seen as they have little value for their lives or anyone elses for that matter.

The residents of Croydon have only to thank the previous LABOUR control of the borough, because they brought the crime existing in Selhurts to Croydon College. Most of these criminals live outside Croydon but they are kept out of the streets at Croydon College under the pretension that they are reforming themselves. We demand to move these people back to Sehurts or to Thornton Heath.

Hey, welcome to the Third Word, people! Mkelly said "The residents of Croydon have only to thank the previous LABOUR control of the borough" Do you seriously think it would matter a **** if the Conservatives had been in power? BOTH parties have taken it in turns to misrule our country and undermine our culture and identity for many years. The story above is merely one of the results of that.Get the full story.
