Thanks to this blog and Chris and his ties within the area and community. We are glad and happy that our people from the area have united and remain strong against opportunists who prey on the weak. We share our strength and send this out to friends and families UK wide as some of us know many in each of the boroughs affected.

There has been a lot of false information posted on Twitter describing various places as 'kicking off'. My flatemate was calling me on my way home from work telling me buildings were getting smashed up and they simply weren't. <br /><br />People seem willing to believe anything they hear from completely unreliable sources - it creates drama for the sake of drama and as Lucy so eloquently put, makes communities fearful. <br /><br />I saw nothing last night aside from our local authorities performing an excellent job with no fuss. Thank you for keeping our area so well protected and safe.EBMhttp://www.twitter.com/emmabarkermuzznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131658095945044290.post-16887742560518647182011-08-10T14:51:24.236+01:002011-08-10T14:51:24.236+01:00BTW: the twitter info was also backed up with pict...BTW: the twitter info was also backed up with pictures. It seems that the police were using the Broadway as a base, and lines of riot police were shown on the ramps to the upper bus station. It seems like the perfect place to lie in wait, really.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131658095945044290.post-55706426693272253642011-08-10T14:49:40.968+01:002011-08-10T14:49:40.968+01:00I know this is totally ignoring the bit about untr...I know this is totally ignoring the bit about untrue information, however from what I heard on twitter (which corroborated with the helicopters flying overhead, which was mentioned in tweets) it sounds like the few teens in Hammersmith were swiftly and effectively dealt with by H&F Police. They seem to have done a stirling job. <br /><br />It's also worth pointing out that things could have been much worse had it not been for the proactiveness of Westfield. Erecting barriers and putting on a large security presence must have acted as a fairly good deterrent I think. Since Westfield was evidently so well protected, that probably helped keep the kids away from the entire area and saved much of the rest of the Bush from trouble.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131658095945044290.post-80537841569125706352011-08-10T13:19:37.800+01:002011-08-10T13:19:37.800+01:00I had every faith in H&F Borough Police and kn...I had every faith in H&F Borough Police and knew that they wouldnt stand for any similar behaviour in our areas. Also had quietly hoped that local youths here respect our community not to copycat. The threat from outsiders was quickly and swiftly dealt with, everyone involved should feel immensley proud of themselves, I know a lot of people feel that way about the list of groups who ensured peace. Thank-you and well done!P.

I have been shocked by how wide this information circulates and I cannot understand why people find it necessary to put out such factually incorrect information that will achieve nothing except make local communities fearful. Please can you use your influence to try and bring this under control locally.JimFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15644119370267313068noreply@blogger.com
