'die-In' Protest At London's Westfield Shopping Centre

[anotheoldgit]

In an earlier post I asked "what is going to be the next one", well here we are it has happened, but what a mass sit-in in a shopping centre has got anything to do with a black man being shot in America completely escapes me.

There were shouts of "I can't breath" well may I suggest that they should keep out of crowded shopping centres for a start ?

I imagine their sole purpose was to get themselves talked about on AB by people with nothing to do with their time

I think you're confusing the terms 'sole purpose' and 'sole achievement' there jno.

If I'm honest, I avoid them where possible(the threads he posts on) because I instantly know we're in for the long haul with several trips around the houses.
That's not a sleight at andy as he's free to post on whatever thread he chooses and I'd defend his right to do so, it's just my stance and opinion.



Already reaching for me coat, don't worry.........
