No, not at all. It is human to want to stop bloodshed on a day that supposedly celebrates the ending of previous bloodshed. But apparently some blood is more important than other blood.
Braverman is the new lowest of low. There’s a lot more things that could be said about her, but what is the most important thing to note?
The fact that she is where she is and how she got there.
Using a national newspaper to attack the police who themselves are under attack for being used as an instrument of suppression.
Why did the newspaper allow the recent article?
Why did government allow it?
The way in which anti-Semitism is being twisted into a flag of suppressive convenience?
It because there are people in the Tory party who share those views.
But also – more pointedly – there are people willing to fund and enable what after all is fascism.
Sort out political party funding and we might just be able to shut this sort of reprehensible behaviour down and the sub-par , anti-social people it attracts and supports.
To me at least it’s all very simple.
Until that is sorted out, politics will be about people like Braverman and Gove who will continue to throw dead cats on the table in order to disrupt – using disorder to bring order – Fascism at its core.
Jonathan Pye is saying it how it is:

Nothing to laugh at in this video – it is a howl of horror and outrage and I feel it in my very core.
I wonder how long before Tom Walker has to follow Carol Vorderman and leave the BBC in order to retain his independent voice…
Perhaps they and others will be following the example of the Beeb’s ex Anna Brees and becoming indie journos using their phones.
I’m a little surprised at how many responded yes. This reveals how much I am in my bubble but I am concerned. If you replied yes, could you explain why? I know it takes courage to express a minority viewpoint but I really want to understand.
There has been a lot of trolling you have not seen appear in the comments today
No doubt they told their mates to come along and vote
Gosh Richard, aren’t they clever eh? Deliberately choosing the stupid, offensive answer then encouraging their troll mates to come along too to try and make it look as though Braverman’s grotesque and provocative comment has far more support than it does.
How mature of them. Perhaps Braverman might like to reflect that the reasom marches by the far right are banned and this one is not is that the far right set out to provoke and upset people deliberately. Just like her in fact.
Indeed….
