  2. “It’s time that the many decent youths in London make a bold mark of rememberance upon society. We need to show that community still exists, that education is paramount, and that violence is intolerable” Kored, Young person, Newham Young people march in Ilford via Ilford Recorder

  3. “It is very easy to ‘understand a little less and condemn a little more’. This will not deliver a safer future on our streets... Let us stand together at this difficult time and seek the goodness in each other to help us rebuild our great nation for whatever challenges we may face tomorrow, following the good example of the thousands of young people who turned up yesterday, via Twitter, to clean the streets of Manchester” Archbishop of York - Statement on UK riots 11/08/2011 Karen Mcbride

  4. 'I lost my son. Blacks, Asians, whites, we all live in the same community’ "Nothing can bring my son back but if we have peace then he and the others will not have died in vain.” Tariq Jahan

  5. Policeman looking over the blaze – london24.com “Congress also recognises the professionalism of public sector workers and indeed those in the private sector who did everything to protect the general public during the riots and aftermath: the emergency services such as prison officers and related grades, fire fighters, police officers, ambulance workers along with nurses and doctors. Without our frontline services putting the general public first, the riots could have been so much worse.” TUC response to the riots – 12/09/2011

  6. For now, tough and challenging times require unity and solidarity. It is essential that active and suitable foraare provided and utilised to work towards restoring peace, trust and mutual respect between all sections of the society. Muslim council of Britain

  7. “...we now have a major question to address, which is how to combat the deep alienation we have seen, the alienation and cynicism that leads to reckless destruction. The Government has insisted on the priority of creating stronger, better‑resourced local communities. This priority is now a matter of extreme urgency. We need to see initiatives that will address anxieties and provide some hope of long‑term stability in community services, especially for the young” Archbishop of Canterbury

  8. "The reason for coming out is to show solidarity for all. We are a community and we will stand together. We felt we needed to stand up.“ David-Yehudah Stern (UJIA – The Heart of Jewish Life) From Peckham’s Peace Wall from Pie and Biscuits blog https://pienbiscuits.wordpress.com/2011/08/17/the-london-riots-from-the-ashes-hope-rises/
