Front page of todays Argus.
WalmartAsda has no choice but to stop home
deliveries to the No Go area of Whitehawk.
Staff have had enough of attacks.

Perhaps they should all put on suits, bowler hats and waves their umbrellas during a demonstration outside Asda?

No
That No Go area has Cameras,
the residents need to find out Why
Brighton Police are not helping them at all.

The Walmart Van is easy to follow.

Perhaps the Asda van should be painted instead with the warning on each side:

NUCLEAR WASTE IN TRANSIT - KEEP CLEAR.

Exactlly why covered boxes of it are being delivered to Whitehawk addresses is something that might need a little explanation, but perhaps anything goes there.

Again
it is Easy for the Fat Lazy Police
to make use of all those High cameras
that Evil Blair put into that area,
telling them it was all getting better.
Blair Visted Whitehawk
met locals then pissed off to London.


New Labour Stink.

It's a good thing LTNS did not have a hand in drafting the Gettysburg Address. It would have taken a very different, pathetic form.

Another sensational bit of reporting by the Argus I see, so I suppose the Argus will stop delivering its paper in these areas aswell ?

EB4U funding will end come March ... after 10 years and 47.2 million pound we end up with a Chav supermarket refusing to deliver to the area ... What a rip roaring success!!!!

Most of it on wages for redeployed Council staff ... quite a bit of it on consultants brought in at huge expense ... amounts of rent and refixturing and refitting council buildings ... oh and some on feel-good projects. A few million were spent on community safety teams/neighbourhood wardens ... not a lot to show for it really ...

Cool.


Meanwhile locals in that No Go area
will have to try other stores like Sainsburys Online
and any Van will need extra staff.

I cannot see what all the fuss is about up in Whitehawk.

Cannot one of the many "white van men" over there organise some sort of system? Go round, take orders, fetch the stuff, and they're quids in. They'd have to store the other goods in a lock-up while they do this, of course.

How much does Asda charge?

Same as every other Store.
But Due to Walmart Staff being Attacked
in that "No Go" area.
WalmartAsda had no choice but to Protect Staff
and Cancel that area out.

Poor Alex, dead at 31, would have been grateful for deliveries by the ASDA van - and would have expressed his thanks in a more eloquent way than the Whitehawk people appear to have done.

No, he's just kipping on his back, Whitehawk--style.

Come to think of it, Whitehawk sounds like a Chief at whom John Wayne would have taken a pop.

The Argus has done another story on the ASDA No-Go area.

Seems that the residents are on a forlorn quest to bring the company to its knees.

I guess a petition againsy ASDA is out of the question.
Too many X signatures!

Shop lifting losses may also go down!

The only answer is for Whitehawk to declare itself a separate State.

Insp Curry
makes many Claims.
Why in the Blue Hell does He not get his Team
to sort that NO Go Area out.

Insp Curry has all the Camera Feeds
That pathetic New Labour claimed
would make that area better.


Come On Insp Curry
if you are any good
come onto this site.

If Steve Curry says that there have been no complaints made to the police you can rest assured that he has made it his business to find out that that is so before stating that. I've had my frank exchange of views with him and not always in the most convivial of circumstances. But I'll say this for him, he will not make a claim he cannot back up.

As for Inspector Steve Curry coming on this site ... firstly I doubt very much that under the terms of his employment he is allowed to do so and secondly, he is a police officer and as such bound by the rule of law and not a politician who can endorse or not a viewpoint. His coming on this site would therefore be of very little real value.

He can ome on here as Off Duty only.

Sure, about his Claims
I mean ' the Argus ' would never get him wrong.

He has been on Local TV a great deal,
he seems to think he can help everyone
with the use of wallpaper community people.
I guess if he makes it to a Old Man
he may even become a MP.
