The geezer playing the robber played the the homeless man who makes victor and the vicar strip down to their pants in a christmas episode of One Foot In The Grave in the early 90's. He had a shooter then as well! Actually a very accomplished actor as well who has been in many things. Lots of un heard of actors done these sort of re construction shows before they moved on to bigger things. I hope david is living well now and is free of trauma.
Did you not watch the whole thing? The crime was solved. A man was caught and pleaded guilty and got 22 years. Either he's still in jail or he's been released and not re-offended.
you misheard this; the term they used to describe homeless vagrants sleeping rough is 'dosser'. Tosser means something completely different in England....
I have just read a small article about a man with the same name who was in lifetime care and wad murdered by some woman who said it was to basically put him out of his misery she got nine years,,,just going back to see if I can see more on it
"Abusive vagrants", "dosser", "these cardboard city people". So much prejudice towards people who'd just seen their friend shot and must have thought he'd been killed.
Considering that he'd shot someone in the head, condemning his politically incorrect language seems quite the moral confusion (albeit a fashionably modern one).
homeless people are still part of the comunity...... and are just you and me after a turn of bad luck etc. they count , and are also soneones family member

When I was 18 working at a Target store in Minnesota, some 16-17 year old, bushy haired shoplifter evaded the plainclothes security guard when he tried to leave and he ran off through the parking lot. The corner of the parking lot he was heading to basically had a perimeter of very busy roads acting to trap him. I’d been there with the security guard as a witness and just got caught up in the moment and started off after him but the guard yelled for me to stop so I just watched as that dope risked his life zig zagging through 6 lanes of traffic on highway 394 to get away with his stolen CD’s. Probably best I didn’t risk my life for $40 worth of Vanilla Ice, Warrant and Skid Row rubbish…

The murder rate in London peaked in about 2002/2003, which ironically was just when nobody was talking about crime in London because Tony Blair was PM and everyone was in an optimistic mood. The mood of the country and the reality of crime often don't match up. Everyone's very pessimistic about crime at the moment, but the London murder rate is actually pretty low at the moment. Less than 100 a year, whereas in 2003 it was 200.

David David why tho? I agree it wasn't heroic since the robber had already done the deed, fled still having the shotgun, shot several warning shots at the persuants, what would have been the purpose of apprehending him, such a tragic case.
To steal the bag. Stealing from a criminal is a different morality than stealing from someone innocent. It may not make sense but it is like an ethical code. I don't know him and don't know what he's like but I do know that this is a thing. Even when desperate there are ppl who won't steal, but they will rob a crook. It's different money like that

We had a lot of third world immigration from 1990s until now. You wouldn’t recognise London today if your English
That was nearly a bar.

Great how the Sweeney turn up with no guns or body armour..”one lone gunman who appears to be on his own”…classic
Agree with those that talk about the way the police describe the witnesses
22 years but the person who he shot received life.
