hey please be patient. I am doing my best. I have learned (through our conversation) a lot and have been at work all day too (still there). I appreciate your perspective.

I wonder if you see me as the enemy? I'm truly sorry about that if it's the case. I do not condone any kind of violence. Nor the dehumanising of people, and I am truly sorry if you experienced my comment as dehumanising of you. I see you as a fellow human, and the people involved in the protest.

I haven’t meant at any stage to condemn anyone. I stated my opinion that I felt that, from what I could see, what happened in Bristol, some of the behaviors from within the counter protest group might be unhelpful. I am sorry if you felt that I was in any way attacking you. It was not my intention.

I removed my pic because of the impact of this conversation. I’ve faced so much flack from right wing fascists. This is the first time I have been sent abusive emails to my business address. Abusive language is not okay and not the answer. Thank you for asking people to stop it.

This is absolutely not what i was doing. And now my business email is being spammed with abuse. Which you may be pleased about (or not, I don’t know). Divide and conquer is real. I am not your enemy.

I don’t see the point in piling up hate against people with similar values. People are more inclined to listen to those able to have civil discourse and make valid points rather than hurl assumptions and insults. I’d like to understand more but it’s hard to listen through layers of disdain.

Great turn out, although if it was black bloc individuals that got arrested; I don't think it helps the ant-racist movement at all and just feeds into the anti-left rhetoric being spouted by the far right.

Remember what you said last week? ‘Write what you feel’. Hard to do that with academic gubbins. It’s tedious and dry.

Haha how funny! Thank you so much :)

The camera work made it very hard for me to follow the dialogue. It did my head in…lots of obscuring of faces & zooming in and out. I thought that the narrative trick was gimmicky. It was interesting to watch (as well as annoying, sensory wise) but shallow. Love Jared Harris but the accent 😩

I’m getting fed up of them mudslinging on social media. Not a good look, demonstrating very little by way of integrity. If Reform are appealing to the masses through lies and propaganda, and by fuelling the dark passions of anger, fear and resentment, mudslinging is not the antidote.
