No wonder the underwolrd slang for the police is the "heat" when it has Inspector Curry as one of them.

He would certainly be a brave copper if he could contend with one of Mrs Poppadum's culinary efforts.Anything left over is used to take paint back to the woodwork.

What happens to allthose wonderful "extra" policemen that appear every time there is a political conference in town.

Perhaps they can encamp in Whitehawk abd some other areas in between.

What a load of to-do about nothing much really ... It is just as cheap to get a taxi back with your weekly shop as it is to get a home delivery ... after all, we are only just above the Marina. I certainly do not intend to boycott ASDA ... they do the best granary baguette available locally!

As for the issue of 'some elements' ... yep, there certainly are 'some elements' in Whitehawk and until such time as the local community accepts responsibility for these 'certain elements' and starts acting like it, these 'certain elements' will continue to colour the picture that is Whitehawk. Holding monthly 'Crime Prevention Forum' meetings is all very well but it is action on the part of the local community that is needed ... not talking shops!

Perhaps Greggs can fill the gap left by Asda with a van going round Whitehawk?

BBC Local News TV
has done a report on this.
It shows local people angry about Walmart
but also showed a hoodie youth laughing
about the WalmartAsda Van attacks.

They gave the BBC a list
which included Shopping being stolen &
Vans Attacked with stones.

Shame ... they should have stood there ground. I wonder what sort of pressure was brought to bear on the store. Whatever it was, I think a lot less of our so called authorities who, rather then deal with the issue of rampant yobbery will sweep it all under the carpet.
