Civil Unrest in Louisville

[gordi]

Things are relatively calm here in Scotland.
Most folks are still hunkering down and just trying to get through this.

There has been a recent incident in Glasgow city centre with a "Protect The Statues" type protest,
BUT I have it on good authority (from first hand witnesses) that the group of "protestors" aren't from around here.
They seem to be "British Nationalists" bused in from parts to the south of here, and they are just nasty, racist, aggressive, bully-types looking for a fight / story.

My gut feeling is that Westminster may have "arranged" this, to stir up some trouble so that they can clamp down on future public protests/marches etc in light of the increasing support for Scottish Independence. (e.g. putting a limit on the number of people allowed to march in a single protest to minimise the public impact of Indy marches which were getting HUGE before lockdown.)

I keep on repeating the same mantra to anyone who will listen -
TPTB thrive when WE are fighting one another instead of fighting THEM.
They deliberately stir up conflict, whether it's black-white, patriot-commie, sunni-shia, gay-straight, yoony-indy, you name it... then publicise and popularise it through THEIR controlled media outlets.
The people on the streets are then fighting among themselves, looking left-right and over their shoulders instead of looking UP at those pulling the strings!!!
I just wish that more people would wake up before it gets waaaay out of hand this time.

Stay Safe folks,
