#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.”

#LONDON: the cops are constantly complaining about cuts in police numbers and the stress and overwork it causes. Today, not sympathetic after their behaviour in banning this protest from London. And how: Wrongful arrest, aggravated damages, all coming to a courtroom near you. Stand up for peaceful protest. #extinctionrebellion #protest #civilrights
