Hopelessly addicted to music in any format. Vinyl records are my favourite. Live music is also a passion. Depression battler and a father to a daughter.
There's a result, #Aldershot. An anti-racism demo, probably from somewhere else vs a creepy, plain clothed, wannabe Haven mate, from somewhere else, on a mike; surrounded by kids. Bizarre. He might be that geezer from "Pineapple Dance Studio", but I don't know. (You might).
@tlloydjones I really wish you wouldn't today. Any other day would have been fine.
The police are needed in Aldershot this evening. They've now got to split themselves between Aldershot and Farnborough, then hightail it back to Aldershot after yours.
Deliberate? I severely hope not.
Me to my 6yr old daughter, (D):
"Do you know what a racist is?"
D: "No, what is it?"
"It's when somebody judges and bullies someone due to their skin colour or ethnic origin."
D, innocently: "So what's the best skin colour to have then?"
Dear oh dear. 😂
(She isn't one btw).
A riot is not a protest.
A racist is not an activist.
A thug is not a patriot.
Far right extremism is precisely that.
Words matter.
Why are some in the media refusing to use them accurately?
of the individuals concerned. That's what the press got hold of. That *3.5% should in no way be affiliated with the protest itself.
*3.5% is based upon the attendance figure of 200.
I'm guessing today's peaceful protest has happened as peacefully intended. :-)
#Aldershot
As an Aldershot (Rushmoor) resident, I would like to second that.
This not an endorsement or condemnation of the protest, from me.
In short: The ex-hotel, has and is being used to hold, to be processed asylum seekers. (As decided by the previous govt)....
their democratic right to peacefully protest on the matter. (Nothing to do with the tragic events of Southport, when planned).
Sadly, the last protest did experience a *3.5% minority causing issues; no doubt you will have seen the pictures from Hampshire Police circulating...

My daughter thinks we got up early this morning to drive past an empty green bus, parked outside a garden centre.
Let's keep it that way. Yey, parenting win! ;-)
What kind of a sadist puts a Santa parade on, at 09:00 am, on a Saturday.
All this and we haven't even got the face marked out yet!
I'm just going to tell her, they come ready carved next year and do it with a drill. milling bit or something, beforehand.
#fatherdaughterwednesday#pumpkincarving
Carving my 1st pumpkin ever; I've foolishly chosen to do so with my 18 month daughter. One of the most traumatic experiences of our lives.
She's trying to simultaneously: Empty the contents of my pockets, whilst eating trying to eat the innards & trying to pilpher the tools.
