Welcome to your local magazine<br />
Dear neighbours<br />
If you're reading this, it's <strong>July</strong>, or very nearly. As I<br />
write it's 23 June, press day for the magazine but<br />
more importantly, the day we decided whether to<br />
be European or not.<br />
LoveEast isn't political and has no intention of<br />
being so, but I hope we convey one simple<br />
message and that is the celebration of difference<br />
and diversity. We regularly write stories about<br />
the talented people who live here, many of whom<br />
are of different cultures and nationalities. They all<br />
have one thing in common and that is they have<br />
contributed hugely to what makes East London<br />
so special.<br />
Linh Vu is a case in point (p4). Her family were<br />
Vietnamese boat peope who escaped from a<br />
Communist regime, but who achieved great things<br />
against the odds. The welcome she received<br />
when she arrived here is cause for reflection,<br />
considering the political campaigns we've just<br />
witnessed.<br />
I hope you enjoy this month's edition and get to<br />
find out a little more about the area you live in<br />
and the people who surround you.<br />
