26 September - Lunatics and wild animals
I had some
boring letters to write and attempted to make the job less tedious by at the same time watching
the live stream from Trafalgar Square where the lockdown protestors were holding some sort of rally.
I confess to having some sympathy with their cause; I cannot see the sense of
ruining my granddaughter’s future to save me from a fairly minuscule risk of
dying from Covid19. If you asked me if Boris Johnson had lost his mind and been
bamboozled by false statistics I would have to say, “yes, most definitely”.
What I saw happening in Trafalgar Square from midday onwards was very disappointing. There were juvenile and
mildly vulgar songs, references to some New World Order which are probably a
little far fetched, references to doing away with cash so that the population
can be more tightly controlled, which may have the ring of truth about it and
then Jeremy Corbyn’s brother blaming everything on 5G telephony.
All pretty much nuts and nothing really relevant to Covid19, nothing sensible
anyway. And so it went on for two hours and 55 minutes before the allegedly
prominent German Doctor Heiko Schöning was rolled out to hopefully inject a little more sense into the
proceedings. And all hell broke out.
Uniformed thugs plunged into a peaceful crowd in order to silence the doctor in the
way the Metropolitan Police know best. They set about men, elderly women and
mothers protecting their children with batons to the head, although what sort of
mother takes a young child to such a gathering is a little beyond my comprehension.
Ultimately the German doctor was arrested for trying to address his concerns
about Coronavirus while those who wanted to listen to him were verbally abused by a
policewoman who successfully achieved her ambition to appear on video as an ugly aggressive bitch.
What is happening to this country? The police kneel before Black Lives matter
protestors and ignore Extinction Rebellion, Muslims marching in Oxford Street
and hooligans defacing statues and the Cenotaph.
Maybe the lockdown protestors should have been fined and asked to leave as
Councillor Danny Hackett (Independent, Thamesmead East) suggests but that is a far cry from
indiscriminately splitting skulls which is Dick’s thug force’s preferred mode of operation.
Yesterday the police were seeking sympathy for the events in Croydon but thuggery like
this shows them in their true light. Never ever trust any police officer.
Images such as this will be circulated around the world and the reputation of British policing will be trashed forever, and deservedly so. Whatever the lady did, provocation or not, does not deserve that degree of viciousness.
