I’ve just seen I did it again and had two Day81’s. It does not really matter they’ve all blurred into one long day.
These protests have to stop now. I appreciate those with genuine motives but they are being hijacked by thugs who want nothing but trouble and having been lockdown are using them as release for their obscene violence. They will obscure and hide the cause the protesters have marched for because the media likes nothing more than highlighting this violence. The message must not get lost and I think even those who oppose it have got that message now. There are other ways of keeping the message alive.
I am saddened like most reasonable people that thuggery and violence are still a staple of these ignorant almost exclusively men. There is a streak of British manhood who can only express themselves through fighting and intimidation. It used to be worse but unfortunately has never gone away. There are many reasons and I think we all know what they are but no matter how society in general progresses it seems they never leave. The Police do not always help themselves and can be heavy handed at times but can you blame them when they are confronted with these barbaric arseholes who are there to deliberately attack them just because they can?
I have always been a supporter of peaceful protest should the cause be important enough to highlight (although to lazy or apathetic to actually take part) People should be allowed and encouraged to show the feelings about any thing and particularity this current cause. We must always demonstrate to those in power or whose attitude is less enlightened our strong support for any injustice or practice that is no longer acceptable. Ultimately it is always the public that brings about real change.
Stay well
