One of a series of reports from UTV about attacks on the emergency services, tonight’s report, on police on patrol in the Suffolk and Lenadoon area of West Belfast, was presented as evidence of an improvement in circumstances. The report is notable for the absence of any elected representatives, despite the repetition of the ubiquitous ‘community’ label.. and it’s notable for the prominence given to the opinion of a “community worker” – the Suffolk & Lenadoon Interface Group are currently the recipients of a 36 month period of funding worth £2,000,000 from Atlantic Philanthropies which began in January 2007.
We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!
For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.
Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.
If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
