re: England Riots August 2011 (Was London Riots)

l thought l would put this on as it kind of shows the solidarity and goodwill from the vast amount of people who are a force for good in this country.


20.44 Our reporter Heidi Blake has got in touch about the now-famous Peckham Poundland:


The boarded-up window of a looted branch of Poundland in Peckham has been turned into a message board under the heading: "Why we love Peckham". Hundreds of local people have covered the boards in coloured post-it notes with messages of good will and solidarity following the riots which have shaken the community.


Here are a selection of the messages:


- Diversity of culture and foods. Celebration of diverse interests.
- Family, belonging, creativity.
- Because God loves Peckham.
- Because it is my home. There is so much potential here.
- All my children and grandchildren were born here.
- Because there are more people here that care about Peckham than those who don't.
- I have lived here for 22 years and it is full of good people. Keep everyone safe
