  • Blockquote. He is a top gent and perfectly decent

    Not if he's knowingly handling stolen goods and making money from it, he isn't. Almost the opposite, in fact.

  • But he is not. In fact he runs the workshop for free every week to fix bikes for kids who can't afford to go to a bike shop. I do believe he does know what the gangs are up to to a point, and when my bikes went missing, he had a good enough idea who the suspects might be and spread the word for me. Would you really wanna be the snitch if you have to still be around the estate? He doesn't even live there by the way, It's all very well to stand on the moral high ground and talk ideals remotely, like on here, but the reality is if he became the snitch every time petty crime like a bike is stolen, do you think him and his volunteers would still be able to provide for the good kids round there?

  • His shop is at the Walworth road end of John ruskin street. loads of bikes outside, cant miss it

  • Running workshops and positive interaction is all great stuff. Kudos to thean for that.

    Knowing who is nicking bikes is one thing, as is turning a blind eye. But handling those bikes and enabling the thieves?

    Maybe your question on morality would be best put to those on the estate too cowed to speak out.
