A 70s #TV star, #musician and #actor from #London has suffered life-changing #injuries following a #roadrage attack in #Beckton #EastLondon
#MetPol have been unable to find the attacker due to lack of evidence (that area isn't so well covered by CCTV) - which worryingly means anyone driving there is at the mercy of any angry man who chooses to use #violence
The #ReformUKLtd candidate who has renounced the company in #WestHam and #Beckton won't make a difference, as the CUP even with RUL voters combined back into it is still set to lose that fight.
But the candidate who did in #Erewash might.
Erewash is a LCP-vs-CUP race that the CUP is set to lose on current MRP polling but can likely win if the disaffected RUL voters switch to the CUP bringing it back into error margin territory.

Since my previous Beckton offering got no traction, how about this one: Beckton Gas Works in the process of being dressed as Vietnam, for Kubrick's 'Full Metal Jacket'.

Beckton Alps
The 'Beckton Alps' is a gigantic slag heap - waste products from a town gas plant. There are rumours that there's an entire locomotive in there, but no-one dare excavate it, because it's so toxic. Given the 'Alps' name ironically. In the 90s, it was turned into an actual (artificial) ski slope, making fact out of fiction.
These days, it's just a hill - used for BMX and the like.
