I understand your point about collective responsibility talk and agree now. I don't think it is a construct of the right but more a natural reaction as I have seen it manifest itself in very unpoliticized people I know. I think we also need to examine our own reaction/emotion on seeing the photo of the women on the bridge. Why did we feel that it was heartwarming?

i didn't feel it was heartwarming, so don't include me in your us.

I keep seeing this picture cross my feed with along some rare comments.

This seems to be a Rorschach text that reveals more about the viewer, than it does the woman in the photo.

What the fuck does this photo have to do with the bird ignoring it on her phone? Look at the others

 

[mystic pyjamas]

Bird?

"Bird", FFS. Just in case you're not trolling, you need to know that there is a general consensus on Urban that terms like that are unacceptable.

The woman was not ignoring you tedious troll

Anti-terror ring of steel set up for PC Keith Palmer's funeral

bit excessive to close swathes of central london for this funeral. i wonder how much is being spent on this which could be better spent on the policing purposes of preventing and detecting crime.

wondered why there was tooled up coppery everywhere this morning . Bit of an OTT exercise unless their was some kind of evidence of a threat. I can see coppers wanting to see off one of their own obviously- they are only human - but will / have other funerals garnered this much of a bristling display of weaponry and control ?

All part of the spectacle.

Bird?

Totally off topic but I'm reading the old Raymond Chandler books at the moment and in there (1950s American noir) 'bird' always means man, as in 'he was a strange old bird'. Which is weird.

I suspect they considered the possibility that a terror attack on hundreds/thousands of police gathered in one place for a well-publicised event might be a tempting proposition.

yeh for any number of individuals and groups.

i do hope none of the cops have used police resources for their travel today.

True, same in Wodehouse...

I'm not sure what your point is. I posted the photo because people were going after the "Muslim" woman for ignoring the whole thing. I was pointing out that you can tell a lot about someone's politics by how they react to that photo. There's a lot of racists out there who are only too happy to selectively grab pictures and claim some pretty odd stuff that can't be supported by the facts. So far all I've figured out about you is that you don't really read posts before reacting.

and that "bird" is an appropriate term for women

I think SqueakyBumTime's main point is to remind everyone what a mouth-breathing fool looks like when someone's been kind enough to sort them out with Internet access.

appropriate?

 

[chandlerp]

Yes, appropriate for him apparently

I work right near London Bridge. You'd think Diana had been reincarnated and died again. I know it's sad he died but a state funeral with streets closed? Mega OTT.

 

[not-bono-ever]

cycled past at 5.30- a double decker had become wedged in the anti car barricades under the bridge at London Bridge and all of Borough was gridlocked.

 

[Artaxerxes]

Huh, and the attack hadn't even happened when I booked today off.


Glad I avoided it all, would have messed with my lunch time walk around London Bridge.

 

[Obediah Marsh]

What are the legal options of this young woman? Her image is being plastered across the internet with scurrilous commentary.

 

[stuff_it]

I'm glad people like SqueakyBumTime Call women "birds". It serves as a warning.
