I just have a small little incident to record today, which although fleeting, troubles me. I as just in Woolwich in a book shop. As I was making my selection, I overheard the girl at the check out talking to a customer: apparently they had had a ‘Help For Heroes’ poster in the window, but had been told to remove it by someone who threatened to wreck the store if they didn’t. That is all of the conversation I caught, but, given the areas recent history, I find it worrying. Of course, I do not know who made the threats: one must resist leaping to conclusions. It is too easy to assume they were made by so called immigrants. Yet I fear this signals a deepening of ethnic tensions in Woolwich stemming from the murder of drummer rigby, and if that is the case, it heralds troubling things indeed.
