- Comment on Protest as Chick-fil-A opens first London restaurant 2 weeks ago:
The obsession with slaughtering millions of chickens every day, on nothing more than a factory production line. Birds deliberately mutated, filled with hormones and water, just to satisfy someones snack urge is obscene. Chicken has become a mere product. Eat chicken if you wish, but relentlessly promoting it as cheap food is wrong.

- Comment on Record number of rough sleepers in England last year, official figures show 2 weeks ago:
Without further information, this is a fairly useless number. How many are mentally ill, Immigrants awaiting Asylum, addicts unable to access support services, looking for a job but can’t get an employer to take them on without an address, same for renting. Veterans? Illegal Immigrants? just saying rough sleepers tells me nothing. Is it supposed to be shocking? A surprise?
- Comment on Arrest after Churchill statue defaced with graffiti 2 weeks ago:
A tangent I’ve been down myself, I think recent climate action groups protests have shown how ultimately ineffective this kind of antagonistic attention seeking protest actions are. Pink yachts and stopping traffic causes more avoidance of the issue supposedly cared about. I’ve always thought the only way to get any kind of productive attention from governments or large corporations, or government via large corporations is to interrupt the flow of money. If one dislikes big oil, get a bike. All that being said, when I was an angry young man I took part in my share of protest marches, marching for the very rights now enjoyed by the people we are commenting on here. I wonder if I would advise that youngster to march again,now I’ve seen today’s protests?
- Comment on Arrest after Churchill statue defaced with graffiti 2 weeks ago:
Without getting into the politics, this is the kind of act that makes groups with perfectly valid claims and arguments unpopular with the public. These are intelligent people, why is it so hard for them to understand that whilst I might support them for their beliefs etc, now I will not.
