NEWS Shopper is inviting you to post messages of support for Woolwich following the murder of a soldier in a suspected terrorist attack.

Our editor Andrew Parkes says:

"THESE insane, disgusting, evil fanatics will never beat us.

"But even as these maniacs, covered in the blood of this brave soldier, stood in the street ranting the real spirit of Woolwich showed itself.

"The killers cried for jihad but one brave woman defied them to comfort the dying soldier.

"Whatever brutality is committed nothing will be able to break the spirit of this community.

"The world is focused on Woolwich as we try to come to terms with this horror of this savagery, but the spirit of the area and all its people will not be bowed.

"When mindless rioters targeted Woolwich the whole community fought back and refused to be beaten.

"Woolwich is a great place, with a diverse community which cares deeply about the area and all who live and work there.

"We’re proud to be the area’s local newspaper and I know everyone will come together in defiance of these despicable acts.

"Woolwich will once again rise above any atrocity and prove the area cannot be beaten by mindless maniacs."
