Message from Brian
I really appreciate all your support. Please try not to make life difficult for my officers - they are good people, overwhelmingly, who are doing a difficult job to the best of their ability.
I must now defend myself through the investigation process and not through these boards or through the media. I am still here and I will not be driven away but I have to keep quiet for a while. Brian |

I didn't think we were trying to make life difficult for them!
You have an awful lot of support out there, and -as you probably now know - campaigns are seriously under way. I cannot believe the conduct of the Mail. This whole affair is outrageous. Good luck, Brian. |

It is cos of Brian that I now waste a few hours on this site.
That's not to say that I am here to gatecrash and spoil 'your u75 scene'. I did stumble upon these boards a year or so ago, but never took the time to chat. I am interested in lots of fairness and environmental issues. This board seems to be very friendly (compared to others I have visited). And full of good stuff... From what I understand of the situation, Brian seems to be a good man. And the witch-hunt is proof indeed that the sytem really does suck. The Mail is hardly the voice of reason. The Mail is a shit newspaper in a fine tradition of shit newspapers. The End. Sorry for another un-interesting post. Back to the application forms.. (I am currently a jobless 2:1 graduate engineer). |

"If you can see the words you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools And see the work you gave your life to, broken And bend and build it up with worn out tools.." A popular poem by an unpopular poet. Strength and courage to you and those around you |

 Good to know you're still reading stuff here occasionally and are thus aware of the overwhelming support

Brian,
You have my support and respect. I just went to listen to the results of your Lambeth experiment, and they were very encouraging. You have made a difference and that inspires me. I had a banner which read 'Paddick changed my mind about policing'. It's true. fly |

I still feel that a lot of good will manage to come out of this. Much worthwhile debate has been stirred up and the tabloids’ position looks, perhaps, just a bit lonelier and more stupid than it did before.
And I’m sure you know you’re made of better stuff than tabloid hacks will ever be. Much, much support and respect

Brian,
I have the utmost respect for you. I have yet to meet anybody who doesn't support you. This includes the people I know who read the papers which have been having a pop at you. That says something in itself. If nothing else is achieved at least you can take heart knowing that some peoples perception of police officers has changed for the better. I know mine has. Keep your chin up, Scott. |

 BrianAs ever you have my support and respect. You have made some brave decisions that have made a lot of headway in an otherwise mishandled issue. Keep up the good work, not long before you are back walking the streets of Brixton where you belong. Keep ya chin up!

As an ex-Brixtonian, and as someone who had a not-inconsiderable number of run-ins with the law in my wild youth, I would like to add my voice to the ever-increasing number of unlikely people offering their respect and support for your efforts, and my sympathy, for what it's worth, for the appalling stress you must be under.
Whatever happens, you have changed an awful lot of people's perceptions of the police for the better, and started a much-needed debate. I only wish there were many more police officers like you. All the best. |

Don't worry about Pro-Paddick Riots in Coldharbour Lane. All the action that is being planned is along the petitions, posters and flyers, toot if you support Paddick kind of stuff. Following on from the way you have done things in Brixton it's all around communication, talking to people, discussing the issues. There may well be people making a lot of noise, but it's all pretty joyful light-hearted stuff, like the Monty Python spoof flyer with a picture of you on it that I saw in Brixton yesterday
The Life of Brian. Reinstate Paddick He's not a very naughty boy He's the Messiah! Hang on in there, we'll get you home! I agree that it must be hard for your officers, particularly with all the media spotlight on them. I think that the officers around Brixton should be greeted cheerily and told that we support them, after all they are as much part of 'Team Brian' as we are. Without their support, Brian Paddick would not have been able to do the things for Lambeth that he has. |
