Greenwich boat deaths

Very sad news on the river over the past couple of weeks and both happened locally. First there was the tragic death on the Woolwich Ferry which is closed today as a mark of respect for the boy who died over a week ago, then the tug boat disaster at Greenwich over the weekend. I always assume that if I somehow fell in the Thames (I'm not sure what I would be doing for this to happen) that I would be OK, it looks quite tame and that land isn't far off on either side. Shows what I know.

The shame of it all...

Sad to see that the rioting and looting didn't escape SE18. I suppose given the amount of JD sports, mobile phone shops and fried chicken shops on the high street it was only a matter of time before Woolwich was looted...I don't suppose they were all in Clarks looking for school shoes for their children.....
As much as I am no fan of Woolwich town centre it was beginning to be regenerated and now it just looks even more like a shit hole. Plus people have lost their businesses, livelihoods and possessions. It is more than a shame, it is shameful. I hope anyone out looting and rioting is prosecuted and loses their jobs or benefits.
