#UNRIGHT: I walked smack into career criminal Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon‘s latest grift to part people from their money, a protest march to #Whitehall. A mess of incoherent ideas and confused messages, there were a LOT more marchers than I was expecting, and surprisingly little hostility from the crowd. I was standing there in full gig regalia as well, leather jacket and rock star trousers and hair everywhere, but the crowd were fairly amiable. I can understand and appreciate why vast swathes of the country are pissed off right now, even while they’re unable to clearly articulate why, and ripe for another grifter like Yaxley-Lennon or Farage to rally them. The police officer nearby who filled me in on what was going on, and we had a brief chat about the difficulty of reasoning with such a jumble of unclear and contradictory ideas. Charles Babbage’s remark seems fitting, “I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.”
