So, no listening, no engagement with constituents, just one-way uncritical message broadcasting.


Come on, we want an MP, not a parrot. Please engage brain and backbone, and show some leadership.


Seriously, I'm really pleased that our MP is participating in this form, even if through the intermediary of her office. But please participate sincerely. People have made serious and hopefully constructive suggestions here about how to head off further unrest. What does our MP think of them?


Please don't use the forum as a place to cock a leg, spray someone else's wee, and then disappear again. That's disrespectful.

David,

Perhaps you should re-read Tessa's original post. It is in three parts:

First, her view of the situation as it stood earlier today and a short description of actions she has been taking and will continue to take over the next few days.

Second, and clearly described as such, is the advice that the police have asked to be passed on.

Third, a suggested point of help and support for those who own or work in local shops who may have been affected by recent events.

The first post was direct from Tessa and is marked accordingly. The later clarifications are via her office and are so described.

Tessa Jowell (Office)

OK, well this dialogue seems to be heading nowhere, so perhaps we should just move on.


I've posted twice trying to get a view of what our MP thinks of the suggestions made by several people on this thread, which Tessa's original post in this thread ignores (however much I re-read it).


Doesn't look like I'm going to find out. Shame, but consider me successfully stonewalled.

    • Disagree. Where are the police when you need them? People want a police presence, they want to feel reassured by seeing them do what the word suggests, policing, so go catch some bad guys, arrest, charge and get the CPS to prosecute with the evidence to enable this to happen. Stabbing and shootings are so common place they no longer even get reported in the public domain. How many crimes don't get solved? Rather case closed and forgotten. The number of low to high level crimes which remain unsolved is staggering.  The criminal fraternity know this, they know they won't get caught so they just carry on.  Biggest crimes which affect most people, probably are phone and car theft, both are prolific and what do the police do, diddly squat. zilch, nothing, provide a crime reference number and the case is closed. Not good enough, not by a country mile.   Met Engage? I don't think so.
    • https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/violent-crime-plunges-london-homicide-rate-b1247078.html Worth doing a little checking before making assumptions about violent crimes. Recent data suggests a drop in violent crime. Gang violence will make a significant contribution to the numbers. You are unlikely to be attacked by a stranger   
    • Unfortunately there are plenty of shops which don't care and will sell vapes, alcohol and weed to minors, I'm sure they won't care about selling them fireworks. Or the kids nick them.
    • It’s getting a bit annoying. We’ve a nervous dog who trembles when they go off. I know to expect it around Halloween and Diwali but it seems to be happening more through the year.
