He talks sense.

Carol T.

Unfair treatment of police officers must end now !

We support his innovative policies in Lambeth.

K.B.

Bring him back. He is a good policeman in this Borough for a long time.

Ian B.

I support him because he say the truth.

Jane V., SE2

Brian Paddick is a brilliant, brave visionary – one of the few with an awareness of what really needs to be done in Lambeth. Don’t let a childish press get away with victimisation.

Oli M., SE24

Let’s have Brian back: The police force needs to represent  EVERYONE not just straight white guys !

Anastasia C.

We must have Brian back, we need him to do the job he does best. Lambeth is not the same without him.

Brenda F., SW9

We must have Brian back as soon as possible because we need him to get crime down

.Dennis T., Clapham

Brian is an effective chief officer. He is high-profile because he is successful and respected. And respect is something the Met needs very much.

Peter M.

An honest man.

Joeseph L., SW4

Honesty does not always pay.

Mrs M. Northolt

Brian Paddick should be reinstated to his old post at Brixton Police Station, he is a good police officer.

Mrs W., Streatham

Bring back this police officer to his right place.

H.B.

Great guy.

R.T.

Drugs are bad.

James G.

I have met him , found out it’s someone I can speak to. Don’t worry my household supports you

C.W.

Why was he got rid of ? Too good for Lambeth and doing his job properly.

B.G. Kennington

We want you back. You were doing so well before the petty minded people got you out. Hurry back we need you.

It’s a disgrace. Justice must be done.

Well done.

Jennifer B.

Good luck.

John B

We need him in Lambeth.

B.R.

It’s brave for anyone to take risks to change the law about drugs. It’s also brave to be open about your sexuality. It’s brave to be different. So he should be given a fair hearing and not hounded out of his job because he is gay and willing to take risks.

Michael T

Makes sense. Not a crime !!

Seamus K.

He made a difference – it shouldn’t be knocked.

Lauri P

It’s about time the system agreed with somebody who understands the real world.

It’s well overdue, the relaxing of the cannabis law, but it should be legalised not just decriminalised !!

Since when does anybody believe what they read in the Daily Mail ?

Marion W.

A copper you can have some faith in.

Zara P. ,Lambeth

He got results – reinstate him.

A.M.

Bring him back !!

K.W., Brixton

We must have Brian back – Great man !

R.C. ,Lambeth

Progressive views can’t be a bad thing – and much needed round here. Get him back.

Tamasin C. & Alistair H.

Seems to be in touch with a large chunk of the Lambeth people – so they promptly suspend him !

Fiona C., Lambeth

Sensible man – Lambeth needs him !

Jim W., Wales

Need him back !

B.R., Lambeth

Reinstate !

Polly V.

Brixton and Lambeth need police officers like Brian Paddick, who aren’t afraid to tackle difficult issues.

Andrew W., Tulse Hill

Brian Paddick deserves the highest support of this community.

Victoria H., Brixton

Living near Loughborough Junction I think Brian Paddick got police priorities right, tackling the serious crime with intelligence.

Flora B. ,Lambeth

Supporting a more imaginative/innovative approach !

Emily H. ,Lambeth

Not surprised !

D.R. ,Lambeth

Bring him back & let him continue his good work. Thanks.

Hazel S., Lambeth

Doing a great job – bring him back ‘a breath of fresh air’

J.B. ,Lambeth

He’s not bad.

V.S.

Bring back Brian !!

Victoria C., Lambeth

We need someone in touch with the community to solve our problems.

Natalie B. ,Lambeth

Bring him back soon.

S.C. ,Lambeth

Great to see some action of support. Local news on the website in relation to real local issues (i.e. muggings) + pos things.

R.A. ,Lambeth

Looking forward to his return !

R.B. ,Lambeth

Finally a police chief with some real understanding – not surprised they ditched him !

S.G.

I believe Brian Paddick has made a huge difference to the reduction of supply of hard drugs in Brixton – Bring him back there is loads left to do !

Helen G., Tulse Hill

Bring back some common sense.

Esme – Tulse hill

He is a good copper – we want him back.

S.C.

Have been following the whole saga. Smear campaign is obvious. It’s a shame a great committed successful copper who cares was kicked out.

Dan B. ,Lambeth

Of course Mr Paddick is the right solution for this area.

Dr & Mrs F. ,Lambeth

Mr Paddick was made a scapegoat. We need more support for him

Maria A. ,Lambeth

I have written to Lord Harris; And I hereby reiterate my support to reinstate Mr Brian Paddick to serve the Lambeth Community .

A.V. ,Lambeth

Being gay in the Met Police is normal. But I don’t feel that, as a police Chief, one should exhibit this as a forefront. Policing is, and should be, apolitical; non-sexual. Ban all drugs, including mind changing cannabis.

Andy F. ,Lambeth

I think we need more people like Brian Paddick to be innovative & take risks – not less – reinstate him !

Andrew T. ,Lambeth

Much more information is needed to understand the relationship between cannabis and hard drugs – ignorance is not helping anyone – Good Luck !

Phyllida P. ,Lambeth

He must stay !

Joanne S. ,Lambeth

We need people in power with this man’s approach.

Damian R.

He’s the best.

Fabian P.

Bring him back.

Ed H. ,Lambeth

We need Brian back to rid the streets of drug dealers !

Mary R., Lambeth

About time someone had a realistic drugs policy in London.

Graeme M. ,Lambeth

The drugs project in Brixton was Brian Paddick’s vision. If he isn’t at the helm how can it be co-ordinated properly. Brixton needs him back to finish his hard work. Just when things were getting better the rug was pulled from under it.

Enya O. & Lauron B.

What’s the problem ??

Teresa M. & Lauron H. ,Lambeth

He has my support.

Carole W. ,Lambeth

We support you in Lambeth for what you are doing.

F.S. ,Lambeth

You are very brave, at least you tried something !

Pete

We believe in what you have tried to do. You have our wholehearted support !

Malcom T.

The future of policing. Bring him back.

Richard C., Bristol

The first policeman with a positive approach to soft drugs. Bring him back.

Diane K. ,Lambeth

The right man for the right job – bring him back now !!

P.,.

Let’s have him back !

David S.

Lambeth needs a man like this.

Andrew G., SE24

Wishing for a speedy return.

Joanne W., SW2

Come back all is forgiven.

Tom W., SW9

Bring him back !

Policing relevant to local wishes gets my support !
