I've got a flyer from the boys in blue.....they're handing 'em out to anyone going up or down CHL.....The places turned over are (according to the flyer) Pedro Keys, Nyam Foods and 412 Coldharbour Lane....I haven't got time to transcribe it because I'm meant to be somewhere else but if I have time when I get back home tomorrow night I will.....they arrested everybody in Pedro Keys without exception (according to the beat officer) but the Ladies who cook in Nyam Foods were still there so I don't think take-aways are off the menu....dunno about 412......
Hope that's mistaken.

I put 412 (twice) not 414.........you're the one that's mistaken...read it again......I just have and nowhere does it say 414.

Something similar happened when that premises was raided before but it sprang up again under another guise.....I did see the owner/manager or whoever he is, being led down the road in quick-cuffs earlier on today....he looked less confident than usual, somehow......
That flyer that the police were giving out only serves to prove to me that this was just a full blown media excercise.....10 minutes before the raid happened it was apparent that a lot of the usual "regulars" on the lane were walking briskly away so perhaps they knew that the flyers had been in production !
This action by the police certainly will not make me feel any safer tomorrow than i felt yesterday.

I want to know why it was called Pedro Keys...isn't the little island south of Jamaica called Pedro Cays? I've always had the urge to nip up a ladder with a pot of paint and correct it......

depends on the actual wording of the flyer/poster/sticker. if it says, as suggested 'another drug dealer gone' then it is possibly too vague. after all - what is that saying? it doesn't name the premises or persons involved. it could be taken as merely a general 'slogan' of some local police initiative.hendo said:
i guess the libel laws would apply and reckon the police might have had it passed by legal eagles prior to production. but maybe not...

I think you are right that it is called Pedro Cays but it is pronounced Pedro Keys.
Because if they're guilty I don't want them free. My concern is that people who may have been menacing the community may go free because of a police fuck-up.editor said:
Why don't you start up a 'Support Police Fuck-Ups' campaign and see how much support you get from the local community?

You seem to be having an awful lot of 'concerns' with knowing any of the facts.Anna Key said:
What evidence have you that the police have fucked up this raid?
What evidence have you that the sticker on the door would in any way prejudice the case?
What do you know about the law in this case?
What do you know about this specific case?
Anything?
Anything at all?
Keep your hair on dear.editor said:
I saw the posters last night with some neighbours. We read the sticker in the window and all thought 'Police Fuck-Up.' You can't accuse someone of being a drug dealer pre-trial.
Well you can, but as Hendo says the defence team will have a field day.
Now, if they have been menacing the neighbourhood (as the poster suggests) I want them to go down. So I don't want the police to fuck up by pre-judging the findings of a jury in a silly poster.

I've got no brief for Pedro Keys, but surely its the business of the police to prevent and detect crime rather than label the business premises of their detainees.
I've got a lot of time for the Met, but sometimes they're as concerned with how something is perceived as the actual substance of what they're achieving.
You can understand their enthusiasm to explain to Brixton what yesterday was all about. But they also have a duty to be fair, and I'd say putting a sticker on the place is a tad strong.
But i dare say m'learned friends will have a much more informed view, and the police have their own lawyers who'll have said this sort of thing is acceptable.

I didn't say they had named anyone. Do keep up.editor said:
The police have fly-posted a notice onto the barricaded door of a Coldharbour Lane business. The notice reads:
This notice implies that a person arrested at the premises yesterday - the premises to which the notice is attached - is the drug dealer referred to in the notice.
