🇬🇧The political repression against protestors in London yesterday is interesting because it shows us that currently:
🚷normality must be enforced by violence.🚷

A strong confident society doesn't need to lock people up when they say they don't agree with some public event; it just ignores them.

Silence is the most utterly destructive way to handle opposition.

So what I'm left with is an impression of:
🚓the vicious fragility of British public life.🚓

@Loukas democracy is dead and the silence is deafening! The laws which seek to suppress the right to peaceful protest are reminiscent of 1930’s Germany.
@annaweezer Or at least, to paraphrase Frank Zappa, it's not dead but it smells funny
