Rioting in Hackney - Meg's Statement

I am shocked and horrified by the events in Hackney.

The thugs behind this need to be dealt with by the police.

Hackney has seen such progress in the last decade. We must condemn the violence. Hackney is a commnunity of diversity and tolerance and we need to make sure that these are the characteristics Hackney is known by, not the actions of some mindless, violent thugs.

If people have grievances we must use the democratic process to resolve them.
