Second all night alarm in our porch

Well, last night was a replay of the eventful night of the 26th: alarm in our porch already going off when we arrived at 8.30pm; didn’t stop all night; and still going strong when we left at 5.30am.

You wonder how the police get someone in a building of offices, containing more than one business, to blow a porch alarm all night. Who do they get in contact with? Do they come clean about who the two rough sleepers occupying the porch are – church/state matter - or do they lie? Declan and I are lucky we are not a bit browner than average ... they would manufacture some phoney War On Terror “intelligence” and have us raided and arrested.

Detective Constable Alexander Head of the Beat Crime Unit in Limehouse Police Station has yet to phone Declan to arrange a time to take his statement on the assault on him in the Whitechapel Mission on 17 February, when he was punched twice in the face by a homeless called Ali in an unprovoked attack. (Two days ago, after Declan had just gone through the gate of the Dellow Centre – I try to avoid the place as much as I can, so I wasn’t there – this Ali called Declan a c*** from the queue outside the gate.)
