Interesting about his thoughts on TV. So many people complain about what little there is on Tv that interests them these days.

I know the young lady who was stabbed and it's not a joke calling it another episode of eastenders it's someone's life at stake yes it's happening far to often but have some respect for the innocent people involved not gang or drug related so wait for facts before judgment

To the people saying its kids, Londoners etc...... that was exactly my thoughts, gang culture, plastic gangsters etc etc. I hear this was a man & woman arguing, she got stabbed by him & he drove off! A grown arse man not some hooded kid drinking an alcopop, all in front of her kid, her boy see the whole thing, tasteless & something he will remember for life, is the woman ok?

What is happening to the stow, more bad publicity, there's more altercations there than anywhere else in harlow.

Is there a description of this man because he has been released, no longer in custody. People need to know what he looks like to be wary of him.

How ridiculous is this now that this individual has been released!!!! This is a prime example of absolutely no deterrent, how must the victims be feeling, essex police what is wrong with you, suppose he went back to finish the job how would you lot feel when it's too late, the flags are now up on this guy so it's down to you should anything else happen!!!!
