@ink_drawings@FloEshalomi@philipnormal The problem with your statement in relation to this “male” event segregates women and men. Football can be enjoyed by anyone at any age so please don’t put it in the “male” box.
@ink_drawings@FloEshalomi@philipnormal I’m not condoning this event or any other. We’re in a global pandemic and unfortunately I’ve lost family to the virus. I just think any large gathering is unacceptable
@JohnConnorM They stood there until they were provoked - when you have members of the “vigil” screaming in your face, poking you in the face what would you do?
#UPDATE | Statement from AC Helen Ball following #ClaphamCommon vigil
"We absolutely did not want to be in a position where enforcement action was necessary. But we were placed in this position because of the overriding need to protect people’s safety."

@JohnConnorM@PositiveLad@BuggieSmugglr I’ll think you’ll find I am not. Under non covid circumstances it would have been but given the pandemic it wasn’t the right thing to do. It turned into a protest anyway
@KatyJayne101 A friend of Sarah: 'I was looking forward to attending – it felt good to be able to ‘do something’... Less than a day later, I decided not to attend, as have many of her friends... It is not a tribute to her any more, it’s about something else... I don’t like what it has become'.
@robmcgibbon Completely disagree. The police were there to do a job and enforce the current law on lockdown. You can’t have a law break for certain event and politicians to choose when the want to enforce that law
