Weekend Round-Up

This is what we have learned in between defrosting our typing fingers this weekend:

The Met apparently wants more lady bikers. They claim macho stereotyping is putting the girls off: why don’t they realise that an endless run of bad hair days is just not that appealing.

Ray ‘Sexy Beast’ Winstone is in the running for a remake of the Sweeney. Cor blimey guv.

Residents of a block of flats in Lewisham have been evacuated as its collapse is apparently imminent. Now that’s scary.

Whilst one rapist gets away (watch out for a John Malkovich lookalike), it looks as if another has been apprehended. This on the weekend that the justice system is put on trial for failing rape victims.

And in this weekend’s knife crime round-up: 3 policemen received minor injuries when someone decided he didn’t want to be arrested, and in a more serious incident, a crash victim was fatally stabbed for good measure.

Here’s what we think we’ll see in the coming week:

The mayor acting more and more crankily;

Macca and Mucca acting more and more secretively;

That Londonist still doesn’t like fashion. Much.

Have a safe week.
