Might be a bit controversial this one but fuck me these things piss me off.
On the radio today some woman was organising concurrent candlelit vigils for yesterday's attacks in Manchester and London. Manchester's outside the town hall and London's in Trafalgar Square. I want to know what these things achieve? When asked that very question the organiser could only come up with the rather wooly, 'showing solidarity'. Yes, but what do they actually and practically achieve? I can tell her for free: they are a vehicle for some pretty distasteful virtue-signalling. They allow those ostensibly wishing to 'show solidarity' to be able to say 'I was there' and feel as though they've done their bit when in reality they've achieved the square root of fuck all for anything other than boosting their already bloated sense of self-worth.
It's a vulgar, opportunistic display of their 'goodness' using a pretty grim vehicle. It's eye-poppingly selfish too; do these people honestly believe that the Met have nothing better to do right now than police a large gathering? I'd hazard a guess they have other things they could be attending to right now but these faux-sombre zombies think that their sanctimonious flambeau parade takes precedence. It really is that important that they're allowed to show the world their feelings. Arseholes all.
There, I feel better now.

I heard them going on about the candlelit vigils on the radio at work and my first thought was "Oh will just you just fuck off." Grief tourists do my fucking head in. i've had a gut full of it on the radio, i had to turn 5 live off because they were pissing me off.

It's all bollocks. #prayforlondon and changing profile pics to big Ben with a union flag faded over.
It's similar to the whole show for 'the 56' when we got to Wembley etc. Flags, chants, clapping after 56 minutes. Where are all these pricks now?

These are your 'change your Facebook profile picture to a French flag' types.
All about me, me, me.

The lawyers will be gutted that the cops did a number on the bastard. Taken alive, i expect he would have been worth a 7 or 8 figure sum in legal aid to the bloodsucking barristers.
