NEVER GIVE UP
is the FCCL motto (closely followed by "Don't let the bastards grind you down" ) and this is the message we would like to pass to our comrades in London who are battling the same as we are to save fire and rescue services from viscous and unnecessary cuts in provision.
Therefore we would like to publicly send our support and solidarity to those who are fighting the closure of New Cross Fire Station in London. Seems they too are suffering from the fire authority preferring to do things behind closed doors as this newspaper article demonstrates in the East London Lines News
Paul Embery the FBU’s regional secretary for London recently said .............
Does that sound familiar --------- a little like the West Yorkshire Brigade Secretary David Williams who was recently quoted in The Guardian as saying............
And to help you on your way we have sent you an email explaining how FCCL operates and how we run our very successful blog. (which obviously we aren't going to publish but have sent to you separately)
And of course there are the mysterious coincidences of our campaigns .............. FCCL has Sam Hirst as one of its members - he is our photographer who took the picture on our front cover and also the ones we have sent to English Heritage for our application for Gipton to be listed AND Chloe Hirst his sister is based in London and is writing in East London Lines about the cuts in provision, and an example of her work can be seen HERE
Then there is Eleanor Covell, a student and resident of New Cross who is opposing the closure of New Cross who is the daughter of our very own Sarah Covell. Seems it's a very small world indeed!
And because its Saturday, and probably just because we have learnt how to do it .................here is the FCCL motto in jigsaw form.

Paul Embery the FBU’s regional secretary for London recently said .............
“The London Fire Brigade is a proud organisation with a fine history. But it is now facing possibly its greatest challenge. Its leaders must do the right thing and tell the politicians these cuts are wrong and dangerous. If they don’t do it, the FBU will.”
Does that sound familiar --------- a little like the West Yorkshire Brigade Secretary David Williams who was recently quoted in The Guardian as saying............
"Firefighters are angry because these cuts will slow response times. Small fires will become big ones. In emergency situations every second counts, a few seconds delay can be the difference between saving a life or failing to save it"
So New Cross - your fight is OUR FIGHT
because Fire Cuts Will Cost Lives.

Can you reassemble it to create our motto?
In less than 2 minutes .................... ?
In less than 2 minutes .................... ?
(and BossHooch using the autosolve is cheating)
Because in Less than 2 MINUTES - THIS CAN HAPPEN
Because in Less than 2 MINUTES - THIS CAN HAPPEN
