How not to treat...

As could all those who turned up in breach of the current law. A doorstep protest or something similar would have been equally effective and probably gained positive support from all sides.

Yes you can demonstrate, obviously, if it involves no more than two people outdoors. They put the police in an impossible position.

(And yes, I know it was a vigil, whatever that means, not a demonstration)

Well said. I seem to recall the "Clap the NHS" initiative having quite a profound effect on Public opinion, and all done in an entirely safe way too. But I guess such a common sense approach would have prevented many of the more militant "Karens" from violently confronting the bobbies trying to simply maintain law and order. Not really the look they were going for.

I wonder if "Karen" will be considered hate speech later this year?

Yes, but he's good for a pot of tea in the officer's mess. He peeled potatoes for his country once.

Let me guess a bit of a thicky who thinks lockdown to prevent the most lethal pandemic since spanish flu is something we should ignore so we can hold a candle on the common & disobey the Police.

If everyone who wanted to go on the vigil started writing to their MP once a week and raised/signed a change.org petition every month until this is sorted then it would have more effect.

Like ziggy and spuddy, you don't hide your sexism/misogyny that well.

Perhaps you think the people here, who suggest you're also a bit of a racist, are just woke or too PC?
