No, I don't think any protests or marches are ok at the moment.
The murder of Sarah Everard | Couzens sentenced to a whole-life order

Well said. I can understand why people wanted to be there and that the police/gov could have done things better (I think? Seems like a bit of a lose-lose scenario to be honest) but that video @Leroy The Red posted shows it's not as clear cut as people would like to believe. It's turned into a bit of a messy affair sadly and definitely taken away from its original intent to the point where no one really comes out of this looking good.
I swear to Lucifer if we go into another lockdown because of fecking London again
To be honest, I wasn't being completely serious, but if you reread what you wrote, it's not far off that sentiment.
This twaat is seeming to suggest that this is most definitely a PR opportunity. On balance I think it has to be suspect.

This is the case that some have mentioned. 2 years is a ridiculous timescale to have joined that team.....very strange! https://www.southwarknews.co.uk/news/call-for-witnesses-after-south-london-sexual-assault/
That’s just fecking bananas. Protests triggered by protests. Wait until that one gets shut down. They can protest about the protest about the protest.
Proception.
Oh wow, although the description is very vague. Nightmare thought to have a psycho sex attacker cop.
Two years does sound very quick- can only assume he was fast-tracked being ex-military.
That’s where it’s headed
I've got emotional over the fate of fictional characters in TV shows and movies many times.
What even am I?

I have a shark phobia and didn't like going in the water in Grand Theft Auto 5.
TLOU2 made me feel empty for about a week.
Why does everyone seem to be clambering to call others misogynists? Is it not possible to be cynical about the intentions of a subsection of people at a vigil(being held against the wishes of the parents and police during a pandemic), not sure what that has to do with misogyny really.
What is really critical in the discussion is what can be done to make cities safer.
Some of the key aspects:
- Further roll-out of CCTV?
- Several police sections in large cities specialised in each type of violence/offense/crimes
- Justice less slow and lenient
- Victims encouraged to make complaints: special phone number for women

It was the logical next step. Besides posters being virtually universally united in their condemnation of male on female abuse the conversation had to develop into factions.
I feel like 4/5 of those ideas are really good, the fifth is questionable to say the least.
Suggesting a female activist is probably a sex worker is just about peak misogyny.
say what
I confess I missed that Pexbo but I have to admit it was well worth those terrifying promises to place people on ignore.
Off topic I know. Crimes are unfortunately various.
I'm really confused. Is incest a big enough issue?
You‘ve listed 4 possible solutions to the problem, then thrown us off course a little with incest as the fifth.
On CCTV though, how on earth was there no CCTV on and surrounding a park in the middle of London?
Isn't London already the 3rd most surveilled city in the world? In a list of the top 20, the other 19 cities are all in China. I find that very fecking concerning and would rather we come up with a more effective, less oppressive solution to the problem.
I dunno. Maybe he’s onto something? We’re brainstorming here. Don’t kill the vibe.CCTV is not oppressive. How it's used can be, but CCTV in itself is not oppressive at all.
Keeping it in the family at least...
Great post.
No it really isn't. I think it's fair to say that given her profession she's very aware of social media and it's possibilities. I certainly don't think she went intending to get arrested, but I suspect she knows how to turn it to her to her advantage.
Or given her profession she’s naturally self confident and fearless in front of an audience which itself has empowered her to take the opportunity to speak truth to power.
Think the worst and you're never disappointed.
She may turn out to be the messiah that we are all waiting for but I'll stick with my cynicism for now.
Shes doesn’t need to be the messiah. She doesn’t need to have a role any further than discussing what happened to her last night which as yet she has not left the scope of which is why the haste for criticism is so odd. As far as I am aware, she hasn’t once spoke about her profession, others have looked into it and used it against her.
She has a free profile on a random website that anyone can make. Absolutely loads of people young and and old make them just in the off chance that you some casting company likes your look and offers you a fun job, it doesn't mean you're a professional actor.

Well yes and her daft call for an illegal protest in the midst of a pandemic.
What did you think about the George Floyd protests in the US?
Were they illegal at the time?
So you only condone legal protests? If so, why did you even add the "midst of a pandemic" part? The George Floyd protests were also in the midst of a pandemic.
What about the Hong-Kong protests? They were both illegal and in the midst of a pandemic. Were they okay?
Because it refers to the laws about public gatherings. It's pretty simple really. If you look at this thread you can see the anger of people who have abided by the rules at great personal cost.
Like I said, shes not supposed to be the messiah. She’s a woman who was the victim of heavy handed policing which itself was a case study of the very issue these women were showing solidarity for. The dismissal of her as an attention seeker because of her profession is unnecessary.
