Nice one bruv.
What a great post. Nothing but good news. I didn’t know who this Martin Parr fellow was so I looked him up. Nice stuff. Tends to saturate his colors.
I hate when I see someone being menaced. I’m always reluctant to step in out of fear and end up feeling impotent and weak. But they don’t fuck around in the subway stations. Better impotent than shot dead.
Thank you. Yeah, it’s slightly easier here to come to a damsel’s aid because the nutcases in the UK are unlikely to have a gun.
I hope she was alright afterwards. I should have asked someone else to stand in my place when I got off.
You’re back! And in Bristol? Nice to hear things are good with Kirsty.
Hiya Eryl! Nce to hear from you. Yes, Kirsty’s split up with her boyf for the last six or seven years and she’s spreading her wings socially a bit more again. It’s a shame how it constrains people sometimes, but anyway, yes, it’s been a delight to be seeing a bit more of her. Hope married life is going well.
I do believe there’s a post on the lounge where i had an incident like the one you had on the train, it was with an pro-life nutjob who wandered into a bookstore, good work sir in helping that young lady out.
thank you for stepping up to defend against a bully. prior to retirement, i volunteered with teaching a ’sexual assault prevention and reporting’ class for my organization - i felt it important to teach techniques for effective bystander intervention. We need more of this - shutting down bullies takes a little bit of their power whenever we do it. Your effort was not wasted!
kono – cheers, it was instinct really, and a deep, visceral hatred of him. As if starting a chant that recently in Britain has preceded stabblings and killings and bombings wasn’t enough, he then goes on to hassle a teenage girl. The man was acting like a complete piece of shit.
daisyfae – yes I hope it served pour encourager les autres once I got off. We should have something like that course too. We get endless lectures on how to respond to disabled people but very little on sexual and physical and other forms of sexist aggression.
