I hope to write a longer blog entry about it sometime soon.<br /><br />The map is stalled at the moment due to me having to concentrate of family-related matters ... but I hope to get work on it restarted very soon. Once that is done, I hope that my future wargaming will begin to take shape.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-88053741627180902032011-08-14T08:41:45.252+01:002011-08-14T08:41:45.252+01:00Chris,
It is great to be back.
Looting (rioting ...Chris,<br /><br />It is great to be back.<br /><br />Looting (rioting implies that there was a political element to what happened ... which is certainly untrue where I live) did take place less than a mile from where I live. The centre of Woolwich did suffer targeted looting (jewellery shops, phone shops, clothes shops, banks) and arson (at least one pub and a clothes shop) and the police did what they could to try to deal with the situation but the videos I have seen on YouTube show that there were just too few of them to stop the looting.<br /><br />On the following night in Eltham, members of a right-wing political party seem to have ‘organised’ a defence of the local shops and ended up in a confrontation with the police.<br /><br />I taught in the centre of Woolwich for nearly ten years and in Eltham for eighteen years, and these areas ‘sandwich’ where I live. It makes me very sad to see what has happened … but I am not surprised that it has. I have felt that British society has been ‘broken’ for a long time … and that people like me have tried to do our best to make it work, but have failed.<br /><br />What has happened worries me as well ... and it will continue to do so until the problem is either fixed or contained.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-22668318043504299472011-08-14T06:53:34.113+01:002011-08-14T06:53:34.113+01:00Thank you for an interesting post Bob- I enjoyed m...Thank you for an interesting post Bob- I enjoyed my armchair travels this morning...<br />I look forward to see where the hobby will lead you next and to what becomes of the map...<br />best wishes<br />Alantradgardmastarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116967655904601740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-37254314511966223752011-08-14T06:06:29.364+01:002011-08-14T06:06:29.364+01:00Bob,
