Nice one Chris, and all, Loud Applause. But how can this be prevented in the future. From what I have read on this matter, I must doubt the sincerity of Trinity House, as it would appear they have led Tower Hamlets Council, and Moving Venue, into believing they had there suport.

Has no one thought that this could be a plot to get rid of Bankers.
Get them all together in one place and a suicide bomber gets dressed up like Banker and mingles with them and then BOOM.
Exit Bankers.
Only a theory, but if I could think about it, could not an Extremist not think about it??
Think about it.

Hi All.
I have sent an email to the Mayor and the licensing authorities.
I am appalled that anyone could give aproval for partying to be allowed at the Tower Hill Memorial to Merchant Seamen. The merchant Navy lost more men than any other service during the second world war and have no known graves. These men under great stress served among other seas on the Atlantic and Russian convoys, and this shows no respect to their memories.

First of all thank you Ian for bringing this disgracefull act to our attention.
What a disgrace to all those poor souls who lost their lives, however it seems that the problem has been resolved, thank God, but I will still send off e-mails to let them all know of my disgust.

I have sent an email to the Mayor thanking him for his action in stopping these events, it seemed appropriate as we were quick enough to condemn the Council in allowing them and we seamen have a reputation to uphold of being fair minded people.

So I hope no one is upset, as we may need his support in the future, because this may not be the last time some organisation trys this misguided venue fiasco

Having only this evening, acceesing the Posts regarding the the proposed desecration of our Merchant Navy's Memorial Site. Was increasingly angered as the letters revealed, the lack of Common Sense that the local Council should have even considered it in the first place.As for Trinity House ,it appears that "thier Light has gone out"
I thank you all, the Contributors who's perseverance made these People realise how wrong they were.but it's another wake -up call to alert us to what is and can happpen, to to the accepted British ,way of life.Was I glad when coming to the Post advising to Click Here ,and reading the Evening Standard's ,report.Thank You !One and All,Shipmates.

I sent emails to mayor@tower hamlets, info@movingvenues and mayor@london etc. expressing my absolute disgust at the proposed christmas parties to be held in the rememberance gardens. Unfortuantly they have all been returned to me by the intended recipients, so it would appear that they are being blocked. Anybody got any other ideas as to how I may make my objeections known.
Regards,
John

mayor@london.gov.uk got through and I got an acknowledgement

it looks like it has been withdrew from what i have read, When it comes to our own we will never forget. And lets remember it wasnt only Britain and our allies that lost decent men at the hands of mostely German u-boats. There was almost every colour and creed known to man went down on them ships may they all R.I.P. We are one voice and we have the right to be heared as for the *ankers ball we as ex and serving Merchant Seaman would sell more tickets for a ball than they ever would why because we have bigger {BALLS} Regards lads well done Terry.
