MPC — there is a memorial to Jamail just down the road from where he was shot (outside the dentist’s surgery). In the days immediately following the shooting people left letters and cards, but these have now been taken away. However, I noticed a couple of days ago that his picture is still there, and there are fresh flowers.

I used to be jamail’s teacher. I was aware of a shooting in Camberwell at the time but didn’t realise it was Jamail until yesterday. This news breaks my heart..he was always a very emotionally damaged child even at the age of 9 but his kindness and sensitivity shone through despite his challenging behaviour.
I hope this report avoids voyeurism and depicts his true nature not the nature of his death.
I need to know where I can pay my respects.
By the way, the trivial nature of some of the previous comments are, in my view, distasteful

This is my own personal view, no more and no less, but when I first saw this appeal (and the one from the London Paper journalist) I was a little uncomfortable with these approaches being made on this site. I have a distrust of journalists and film-makers that focus in on this type of subject matter (though hypocritical enough to often read and watch the end product, I’ll admit!)
If Realme hasn’t received a response to her earlier posting, this further confirms my negative views in this area. I’d be interested in knowing if this was the case.

Re this heading, I would like to know why Anne is making the film and if she has the blessing of Jamail’s family.

Everyone’s gone to the Forum site, they’re chattering away like monkeys there about drink, videos and chicken.

Dear All,

Just in case you haven’t seen the SE5 Forum website recently we’d like to invite you all to come to our first General Meeting on Tuesday 28th November. Details are as follows:

General Meeting — Tuesday 28th November
16 November, 2006

At the launch of our Forum in July, our members told us they’d like their first General Meeting in November — so we’ve arranged it accordingly!

Registration 7.00pm; Meeting starts 7.30pm
CAMBRIDGE HOUSE, 131 CAMBERWELL ROAD

The meeting will give us an opportunity to do three things:

Report back to you — what’s happened since July? Getting SE5 Forum on a sound footing – funding, premises, building membership, developing the website

Hold a “Planning for Real” event – a highly participative planning game designed to get small or large groups of people involved in having a say about problems in their local area and suggesting solutions

Winter social – a hot buffet provided by a range of local restaurants to showcase the diverse tastes of Camberwell while you mingle and chat with neighbours and colleagues!

We hope very much that you will be able to join us.

Please contact Di on 020 8374 8552 if you need further information. Or email Hannah Mummery throguh the SE5 Forum talkboards.

We’d love to see as many Camberwell people there as possible so invite everyone you think may be interested.

Hannah

Anne

I suspect it must be tough making your mark as an up and coming film director; and I know you probably don’t have a lot of clout dictating what sells and gets broadacst; and it’s not personal. But there’s a lot to film in Camberwell that might not look so prurient on paper.

greek wedding parties? camilla batmangellidh? a fity year throwback jazz in the crypt club?

It was a drive-by at 1.30 in the morning on the corner of Defoe Road and Church Street. Later at 5.50 the other shooting took place in the Jam club down the road in Shoreditch when the club was finishing, after an altercation. I don’t want to add to the gloom, I just noticed it in Monday’s Standard. It happens, not just here.

Dagmar — I read about the shooting in Shoreditch; have you details of the incident in Stokie?

Two young black blokes were shot dead last Saturday night in Shoreditch and Stoke Newington. They were 23 and 20 years old.
