This surge in far-right violence is frightening me. I'm dreaming about it and having trouble focusing at the moment. My sensitivities seem to kick off badly when stuff like this is going on.
I keep away from the news best I can but it seems to be everywhere.
How do you deal with the issues out there today?
There's one planned for 5pm on my road, so that's delightful...

I'm really sorry to hear that HMO
That's awful.
You and your loved ones will be in my thoughts.
Thank you. Thankfully they decided to congregate down the road and I'm not seeing reports of violence at least.
I live in Scotland and I have heard quite a lot of anti-English bigotry during my time. There are also pockets of Protestant versus Catholic bigotry mainly in the Central Belt, often associated with football teams Rangers vs Celtic, Hearts vs Hibs etc.
I had the best fish and chips ever in Scotland(fish supper). My mum was from Aberdeen. Her mother from a small fishing village in Banffshire. Nearly all the male ancestors on her maternal side were fisherman. Like many Scots she was a keen soup maker.
