Street Robbers Run Hackney, Not The Fucking Police!

STREET ROBBERS RUN HACKNEY NOT THE FUCKING POLICE!

It appears that the Street Robbers run Hackney and not the authorities, while the police and their I supports (The Community Support Police Officers) continue to dishy out parking tickets to various drivers in the Stamford Hill area to those shopping at Netto's Supermarket in Stamford Hill, Youngsters of the ages of 10 and 11yrs are out mugging young mums with their children along the stretch of road leading down from Stamford Hill and along Clapton Common, also known as MURDER MILE due to the amount of shootings that have taken place there over the last couple of years.

What are the Metropolitan Police/Hackney Council/Paddington Churches Hoiusing Association Wardens and other agencies actually doing to kerb what is going on in this area?
The Summit Estate has a large infestation of rats and when residents phone in to report on this they are informed that P.C.H.A. and Hackney Council don't have any cash to deal with this problem, even though for the last few years Paddington Churches Housing Association have been rubbing our faces in it by distrubuting glossy leaflets around the area on how they for the third year running have collected the most rent in Hackney.

How comes P.C.H.A. collect the most rent yet we who live in the area they manage on behalf of Hackney Council don't get the most repairs done? How comes P.C.H.A. continue to pass the buck when it comes to sorting out the front of Summit Estate where the lawns are overgrown and are the responsibility of Highways and not the Hackney Parks Department where the rodent infestation is increasing every day.

How can you go to your Tenants and Residents Association to get anything done when it's led by a couple of middle class lease holding wankers who couldn't give a toss about tenants rights and to think that you really had an activist on the bloody estate who the council shit bricks from, but instead of backing the bloke up (Patrick McCrudden) at meetings where council managers attended you all went quiet and did nothing.

Only today a young mother was nearly mugged near the Summit Estate on Clapton Common leading up to Stamford Hill, she was on her way home when two afro carribean youngsters tried to snatch a bag which was hung over the handles of the buggy which had a six month old baby in it which was dragged along the pavement for ten yards or more, these youngsters had no thought that a six month old child could have been seriously hurt during their attempt to snatch a young womans bag, I actually witnessed the incident where the partner of the young woman got in the way of those trying to snatch the bag and had several items thrown at him including a broken chair leg and various masonary from the ground work taking place on that stretch of road.

The BNP have been able to jump onto this above subject inciting their racial hatred in the area due to both those responsible being from afro-caribbean backgrounds who attempterd to rob a young woman with her children in Clapton Common and who can blame them when you have the likes of Paul Marsh from Class War promoting stickers with the headings "ROB THE RICH" yet there is nothing about young vunerable women out shopping with their small children being mugged by a couple of kids that were dragged up rather than brought up.

Nothing seems to be happening on any of the issues above and no one seems to give a flying fuck about any of the problems connected to the area or the estate in question which has now gotten a large infestation problem and to put the icing on the cake we have a local church by Tower Court and Craven close estates more interested in how much profit can be made for allowing a mobile telephone company to install a large ariel at the spire of the church (The Church of the Good Shepherd) this church seems more interested in wealth than other peoples health so we need to set up a group to tackle all the issues above and anyone who wants to get involved should email  phantomX2@hotmail.com so a meeting can be arranged.
