She annoys me.

 

Do we really have to have 5 years of protests because the Labour party got complacent and the Lib Dems shafted?

She should listen to David Milliband rather than try and take the country even further left.

She should fire lasers out of her tits and destroy David Miliband.

Can you elaborate on this statement?

Are you happy to have the NHS dismantled and blame the weaker members of society for the crimes of the wealthy?

Good on her,its a democracy you know,not Communist Russia.

I may be a prosecco socialist, but at least I went out to protest

 

On Saturday I was one of 250 citizens who met at the Queen Street statue of Aneurin Bevan in Cardiff, to protest the Tories’ austerity measures, with the People’s Assembly. Thankfully, it’s my democratic right to do so.

 

While I was aware that my presence at the rally could attract the media, I’m sure that you’ll be shocked to hear that I didn’t do it for some self-aggrandising purpose. As I’ve previously stated on my blog, I have no wish to be trolled and abused. It would be much easier for me not to engage. I’m not promoting a record or a TV show. My only motivation for attending was to try to make a difference; to further political discourse in my community; to draw attention to a cause that is more than valid, it is vital.

 

Many people I know (myself included) received the news that the Tories had won a majority (and that Ukip got so many votes) with bewilderment. It wasn’t at all what was expected, especially considering that the political conversation that we’d seen on social media for the past six months, had been overwhelmingly in support of the left-wing parties. There can only be one conclusion: we’ve been preaching to the converted.

 

It’s all very well for me to sit in my cosy leftie bubble with my baja-sporting friends, spending our free time attending vegan popup barbecues and meeting in art centres to have a bit of a moan about Ukip; we missed the changing climate of British politics. We dismissed the growing support for the right wing as just a few comedy racists, underestimated the momentum they were gaining, and thought that by retweeting the latest Owen Jones article, we were doing our bit. Wrong.

 

We need to take the action we should’ve taken before, now. Just because the piratical Conservative party now have a majority doesn’t mean that we’ve lost. On the contrary, it means we’ve got to fight harder. Personally, I feel I haven’t done enough, and I’m going to change that.

 

For Andrew RT Davies, the leader of the Welsh Conservatives, to describe my exercising of democratic freedom as “unbecoming” really says more than I ever could. Perhaps he thinks I should get back to the ironing and stop babbling on about air-headed notions such as protecting the NHS (a system that he himself has been most mobile in attacking), fighting for a fairer society (a concept that entirely eludes his party), and championing the plight of those in society who are less privileged than me. Perhaps he wants to quiet me because I threaten his status as a wealthy, privately educated, white male.

 

As for him, and others, denigrating me as a “champagne socialist”, I have to say I’m more of a prosecco girl, myself. I was born in a working-class family who have for generations been active in political protest. I was nine years old when I was first taken to a demonstration by my mother, who at the time was working as a housing officer for Cardiff council. That was three years before my career as a singer began. I have earned a lot of money from creating music, but I’ve stayed in Cardiff, where my family are, where the people I grew up with are, where my roots are. I could have sacked them all off and moved to LA. I could have made a lot more money by investing in arms and oil, rather than ethically. I could have voted Tory.

 

Christopher Hart of the Daily Mail decried protesters as “enemies of democracy”. Democracy doesn’t just end because we’ve had an election. Trying to silence the dissenting voice is far more anti-democratic. Davies sees me carrying a placard as an insult to the electorate “who have just spoken”. But while he spends his time criticising me, he ignores the fact that there are serious legitimacy issues with David Cameron’s government. Only 24% of those eligible to vote voted Tory. That’s staggeringly low. And in my opinion it is completely unacceptable. I am no fan of Ukip, but if I had voted for them I’d be seriously pissed off.

 

The situation, though, is far from hopeless. If you feel at all like me, I beg you to get involved. Find out when a rally is happening in your area and turn up. As it happens those who set up these marches are, in my experience, lovely people, who care about their communities; not memorial-desecrating hooligans. If we pull together then we can’t be ignored. We need to be organised, but most of all we need numbers. There’s a march in London on 20 June outside the Bank of England. Hope to see you there.

Repped that when I was only part-way through it.

"put your tits in my mouth for friggin sake"

[Section_31]

The Welsh Tory chief twat branded her a champagne socialist, that old chestnut, if you're rich you can't not like the Tories. 

[Champ]

Repped that when I was only part-way through it.

Better rep AoT for posting it first, then. We need more like her

[Ginny]

People seem to think if you've got a lot of cash then you have to like the Tories. On the other side I can't believe some of the shit that getting written on Facebook about the Tories. I hate them as much as the next person but some of the shit is blatantly scaremongering and made up.

 

Most of it coming from abled bodied lads my age who haven't had a job for years.

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Look at the build of her now at 19. She is gonna one absolute sweaty dumptruck of a woman by the time she reaches her mid-30's.

 

 

Stiff as a board here.

[Fowlers God]

I'd bum her rotten

[Harry Squatter]

We need more pictures to form a constructive and well balanced opinion.

I would finger her poop chute

[AngryOfTuebrook]

She'd be proud of you all

As am I.  (Pearls, swine and all that.)
