Couldn’t agree more Dusty. I’m furious and dismayed at some of the names on there. It would have been perfectly possible to condemn the violence whilst accepting that there are huge problems in society which have been ignored for years and that people are angry, as am I. This country is being destroyed before our eyes. I’m certainly not a right wing bigot and although there are a few of those using the opportunity to whip up trouble, it doesn’t explain the anger in the country. That letter smacks of virtue signalling toadying and bootlicking, in the hopes that they’ll be allowed back into the ‘morally superior tribe.’ Sickening cowardice. And a sickening implication against KJK.
I also presume that they don’t like what we say about two tier policing and free speech and that we criticise the Labour Government but the letter is so broad brush we can only speculate about that. I hope some of the signatories have a re-think but, as it stands at present, they can take a running jump!
The evidence of two tier policing is now overwhelming. The grooming gang scandal, the lining up to support BLM and Pride, the policing of women’s rights meetings and the current reaction from police, govt and courts to white working class protests ( aside from the rioters ), all illustrate clearly what’s happening. Then there are the threats against free speech. They don’t want us discussing the truth, they’re using fear of arrest to shut us up. We knew Labour would be bad…but this quickly?
The case of the misgendered dog illustrates clearly that we are reconfiguring society around mental illness and delusion. What else is there to say.
So pleased for James Esses. We need to sue and sue some more.
I haven't been well this week, and recovery is taking longer than expected, so may I just say about the letter that it is simply trite middle-class head-burying?
Dear readers
I have, of course, seen 'that letter'. In case you have missed it here it is:

To say I am annoyed about it is an understatement but I am , as EDI says, mulling before I give me personal response in my next update.
EDI's initial 'mull' on it is very good I think.

I would add: where is the evidence? what are you talking about? What is the purpose of this stupid letter?
A lot of it seems highly defamatory to me though, of course, whoever wrote it ( who is that?) has been careful not to name anyone.
All thoughts gratefully received.

Thanks Dusty…back to the hordes. 😁
You’re welcome TT and you sum it up really well.
Enjoy the hordes 😂

Sorry you have been unwell, Jeremy. Get well soon.
I agree.
I have featured it in tonight's update, so, once you are recovered, please have a look at that.
Dusty
Thank you! Your thoughts are appreciated.
Great endpiece Liz
