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.

    • You may have seen an article in the paper today about Jewish leaders and notables calling on the UN and world leaders to sanction Israel [https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/oct/22/jewish-notables-open-letter-un-sanction-israel], "... Prominent Jewish figures around the world are calling on the United Nations and world leaders to impose sanctions on Israel over what they describe as “unconscionable” actions amounting to genocide in Gaza. Over 450 signatories, including former Israeli officials, Oscar winners, authors and intellectuals have signed an open letter demanding accountability over Israel’s conduct in Gaza, the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. The letter’s release comes as EU leaders meet in Brussels on Thursday amid reports they plan to shelve proposals for sanctions over human rights violations. “We have not forgotten that so many of the laws, charters, and conventions established to safeguard and protect all human life were created in response to the Holocaust,” the signatories write. “Those safeguards have been relentlessly violated by Israel.” ..."   There is also a petition we can sign to support them in their call for justice: Direct link: https://secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/stand_with_jews_demand_action_loc_cp1/?tUwBCsb&v=502713833&cl=22394973010&_checksum=7dc99acb5dd4fc5a43a24e21772f51005ea239753e9ae3033d9f79ffd6119559 "For the first time since the ceasefire, a powerful coalition of Jewish voices have come together, urging world leaders to keep the pressure up until real accountability and freedom are achieved.Their call can shift the political mood and give leaders courage to act decisively -- Amplify their voices and stand with them: The demands of Global Jewish Voices: To respect and abide by the decisions of the International Court of Justice, noting their application also in the West Bank and East Jerusalem; to apply arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court; and to resist efforts to unduly pressure and influence and prevent the workings of both courts. To refuse any complicity in continued crimes and violations of international law against Palestinians by Israel, including by ending the provision of arms and other relevant goods and services; to use relevant leverage, including targeted sanctions on governmental bodies and individuals responsible for violations of international law, and suspension of relations with commercial entities contributing to these violations. To ensure that humanitarian assistance reaches all Palestinians in Gaza at the scale that is commensurate to their vital need, that the blockade is lifted and materials for reconstruction enter, and that there is a full Israeli military withdrawal. To refute false accusations of antisemitism that abusively deploy our collective history to tarnish those with whom we stand together in the pursuit of peace and justice. If you are of Jewish heritage you can also sign here, and we will add the number of your voices to support the Jewish call for justice. Posted: 22 October 2025"  
    • I've actually met Luke Johnson and he's actually a very amicable, witty and extremely clever man. He's also created thousands of jobs and generated millions and millions of pounds of tax revenue for the government, offering goods and hospitality that countless millions of people have enjoyed over the decades. I'm not a fan of Gail's but I'm also not a fan of people who knock down good guys that have contributed a huge amount to this country.  Anyway, French Patisseries and southern hemisphere coffee don't belong on Farmer's markets. 
    • What mandatory action would then be required of them?
