Of course it will not be. How could it be?

Would some sort of a benefit help as no doubt financial damage was done too? Just wondered. I’m sure lots of people would be willing to contribute one way or the other

Who knew that Mali and Spitalfields would be likely to share such a link?
Sad but encouraging that such local community spirit is so strong.

From a senseless act of destruction, community solidarity and support have come up trumps. That’ll show ’em!

Mysterious though, to be sure.

Heartening, though, to hear that The Freedom Press shop is open again so soon after this unbelievably cowardly and senseless attack.
