Observer II Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 Seems the Mayor of London has jumped on the latest hysterics bandwagon by claiming that London's Streets are unsafe for women. Well, hang on a minute; isn't public safety in London the responsibility of the Mayor, so in effect, he's criticising himself. Such is the state of devolved Government in the UK that the contenders for office are so poor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 He's only trying to make London's immigrant population feel at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Observer II Posted March 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 and now we've had the growing trend of a mass vigil, with lots of virtue signalling; despite police efforts to prevent it, in the interests of covid safety. Now waiting for a Women's Lives Matter riot and the tearing down of male statues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Observer II Posted March 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 Well, we certainly live in crazy times, where rational ideas are in short supply. In the midst of a life threatening pandemic, where social distancing is paramount, we've now got tightly packed crowds of women protesting about the Police carrying out their duties of dispersing such crowds. 😠 😷 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 The idea of any kind of common good is sadly missing these days, replaced more often by group thinking which, helped by the internet, focuses attention so much that the needs of others is completely ignored. The sense of belonging to a community has been well and truly pushed into the gutter and replaced with a self-centred attitude of “nobody’s going to tell me what I can and can’t do.” The most recent events with the vigil demonstrate this perfectly and it also shows how easy seemingly innocent groups can be infiltrated by others with more extreme views that ends up turning things nasty. I'm sure the act of cancelling the event attracted those with an axe to grind against society. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Observer II Posted March 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 There seems to be an inexhaustible supply of professional demo attendees, especially in London; do these people have jobs to go to ? 😠 On the issue of women's safety - wasn't there a scheme called "pink taxis" (?), what happened with that one ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 It’s just what I was on about, they also believed that rules didn’t apply to them and lost a lot of money and credibility trying to argue about it. Their idea was basically sound and it may have been successful if they worked with the trade rather than trying to circumvent the rules.

asperity Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 I wonder what those women moronically chanting "all cops are barstewards" last night will do when they find themselves in urgent need of one of those "barstewards"? Complain how long it took for them to turn up I should imagine. A lot of this has been imported from across the pond where it's taught in high school and university instead of real subjects. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 We should send them for a weeks holiday in Myanmar to let them see what real bastards are like. Our lot are like a bunch of cuddly teddy bears in comparison. Just reading a bit on www news about the guy who sprayed bright yellow graffiti all over the conservative office the other day. Again clearly a selfish act with no thought for how offensive if looks but look online and 50% seem to agree with what he’s done. Irrespective of political allegiances, everyone has an inherent knowledge of right and wrong but sadly, people today see internet likes as more important. So do the police risk even more division of opinion by prosecuting him? The whole system is in a right mess where the police can’t do right for doing wrong. Banksy needn't have any worries though.

Observer II Posted March 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 I think the best Country for these women to gain some perspective would be India - where women aren't safe from rape on public transport and fathers behead their daughters for dishonoring their families.

Yeah right, they would be on the phone to the police before the paint had time to dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However the SJW brigade would probably claim on social media that they would support it happening to them because they are hypocrites.

Observer II Posted March 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 Well were now going through many previous suggestions like better street lighting, more CCTV, even to banning men from streets after 6pm, all in the name of one gender protection; when the fact is, that it can be unsafe for any single individual to walk City streets at night, or even in daytime for that matter. Last time we had the issue of knife attacks on young black men, until they discovered that the majority of perpetrators were also young black men. The fact is, to venture out alone at night is an unsafe thing to do, for anyone, regardless of gender or race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
