BOURNEMOUTH PROTEST 18/12/21
Why am I here?
I am here for the children whose lives may be permanently marred by the mask, the disrupted schooling, the exposure to abuse and the fear that has been instilled in them. The babies with impaired development because they have not been in contact with other people and learned to read faces.
I am here for the working classes, the folks who have continued to work whilst others cosied up on the sofa with their laptops. The refuse collectors, the shop workers, the delivery drivers, the care home workers, the engineers that kept electricity, gas and water flowing, the petrol attendants…..ordinary people working in extraordinary circumstances.
I am here for the people whose health suffered as a direct result of lockdowns; increasing alcohol, obesity, depression, loneliness. Whilst the state ignored the value of and limited our access to sunlight, exercise, human contact, all things that can make us healthier in mind and body.
I am here for the 50,000 plus undiagnosed cancers and the people waiting for much needed surgery.
I am here for all the parents, stuck at home educating their children in small flats whilst trying to hold down a job.
I am here for all the parents with special needs children who cared for them when they should have been having some relief by sending them to school. The same special needs children whose mental and physical wellbeing deteriorated from the lack of social and physical therapy and stimulation.
I am here because none of the Government interventions and mandates have been proven to make any difference in the spread of CV19, they will eventually damage more than they have saved. There is NO justification in their further imposition.
I am here because the Pandemic preparedness plan was abandoned and untested measures imposed that had no cost benefit analysis. No one even seemed to think what the ‘side effects’ might be.
I am here for the women that had to go through labour and sometimes birth alone or receive heartbreaking news about their unborn child as they attended scans alone.
I am here for the 9 million hearing impaired who have struggled to understand and be understood through the mandatory mask wearing.
I am here for those that committed suicide as they could not bear the loneliness and isolation.
I am here because the mere threat of mandatory vaccination is enough to chill me to the bone. Oppressive regimes throughout history have used the removal of bodily autonomy as a method of control.
I am here for those denied the right to communal worship, take solace and comfort with others.
I am here for those that spent their last Christmas alone or watched their relatives last moments on a mobile phone whilst Whitehall partied.
I am here for the men, women and children forced to stay inside with their abusers.
I am here for the elderly in care homes, confused by the absence of family and friends that once
visited.
I am here for the people who have lost their jobs, for businesses that have closed and may still close. Families and lives that may never recover.
I am here for the bereaved who mourned the ones they cared for in empty halls, behind a mask and without the comfort of a hug.
I am here for the students, whose higher education dream turned into a dystopia of zoom lectures and confinement to halls.
I am here for all the single men whose pint in the pub was their lifeline, for many, the only time in they day they had conversation and company.
I am here for all who have chosen not to take the jab, for moral, religious, health or any other reason they choose.
I am here because our Government has undemocratically stifled our liberties, brought in laws and regulations that may become permanent in the interests of ‘my’ safety. I will decide what is in my best interest and that of my family. Good ideas do not require force.
I am here because my fundamental right to protest and gather was prohibited on the basis of ‘public safety’, part of a raft of measures based on the dodgy predictions of a discredited scientist.
I am here because I care about my freedom, your freedom and that of the whole human race.
I am here because I am angry.
I am here because I am human.
I am here because I care.
Elsie - that was a superb piece of work, so touching and so true! Thank you so much. Henry
