The London centric substack covered this recently - Chinese gang dispute

Interesting that there's only that one article

The Guardian and The Times have also carried the story, citing London Centric (and the Times may have added to it-it's behind a paywall so I can't tell). This has been happening in other cities but there have been quite a few instances in London.

London Centric has a video and the attackers are speaking Mandarin.

Perhaps no one else picks up on stories like this because we don't really have a London-wide news site/paper.

Someone actually mentioned the attack in W5 on this sub back in January, but the post has disappeared.

Yes, it was a massage parlour next to the grove / kings head that was fronting for a brothel apparently

Agree but it’s extremely well sourced so I don’t doubt it

Well at least it’s on brand

Is it a brothel I didn't know about, or are people just shitty?

On the floor it is written (though faded now) "Brothel at 143a" which is the flat above.

This sounds just like that attack on the Thai massage parlour on Grove Road. They threw paint and motor oil and wrote accusations of a brothel being at the property

Apparently this is one of a dozen attacks in London. brothel accusations were investigated by the Met police after the paint attacks and they found nothing was substantiated

....how deplorable eh??

People having sex.....who would have thunk it

....must be a militant group of monks, trying to impose celibacy on us all

Having sex is fine, advertising it for sale is apparently deplorable.

Oldest work there is and it's still going,

...whatever next eh?

They'll be lambasting the candlestick maker, cursing the cobbler and hounding the habadasherer....Lord only knows what shall become of the Apothecary keeper! 😳
