Weird thing happened today that got me very reflective on train coming home ... not sure where our country is going .. After the march a few of us joined Richard and his news reel cameraman for a coffee to warm us up ..we thought easy to go in the Red Lion opposite Downing Street .. none of us drink alcohol but ordered coffees... for some weird reason the barmaid got annoyed with the camera man and ordered him out ..saying you can't film here. But he wasn't filming ..he stated so .. but she called the police... the waitress disinterested in serving our coffees ..no love or engagement as hospitality industry trained to do ... then police came at first bemused why people sat peacefully were considered a need for them to come. But the barmaid insisted the camera dismantle his camera and go... so he was told to go by police... and we all left ... confused as to what happened... ..what is going on in the UK with this gov and our society?? We wished we had gone to the Methodist church cafe round the corner! Or if only we could go in parliament to the Jubilee cafe where staff so kind ....miss going there as they have good suppliers of cakes, mince pies this time of year ...but covid restrictions still in place... to limit public entry ......that now makes me reflective as we have had our right to lobby our MPs in the central lobby restricted...though we can lobby at our MPs local offices.. write, email and set up either zoom meeting or face to face surgery meeting..
