Dear ZB Dad Vigilantes empowered by Paul ‘Mad Max’ Goldsmith, if we think you’re being too violent, you’ll get the bash
As ZB Dads, Redneck Crackers and Culture War Boomers salivate at Paul ‘Mad Max’ Goldsmith’s ‘Vigilante Nation’ – GET YOUR BASH ON (trademark pending), it’s important to point out that the rest of us will be watching.
If we see ZB Dads, Redneck Crackers and Culture War Boomers attacking poor desperate people inside Supermarkets, we will step in and if we think you’re being too violent, you’ll get the bash.
Brothers and sisters, I don’t drive, I walk everywhere and catch public transport which means I am in public a lot and because we live in a liberal progressive democracy, I believe we all have a civic duty to protect people in public spaces from violence, abuse and harassment meaning I’ve stepped in to stop public fighting as many times as I’ve had hot dinners.
I’m suggesting I’ve broken up public violence a lot.
However, while I believe passionately as men that we have an obligation to protect those who are weaker than us in public, I’m not tackling some poor bugger shoplifting at the local supermarket.
Violence, harassment, intimidation – oh I’m all up for stopping that nonsense in public, and that includes ram raiders, you pull that crap around me and you deserve the arse kicking quite frankly, (and so say all of us), but I’m not narking or citizen arresting some bugger for denting the supermarkets profit margin.
The Supermarkets who use their market dominance to price gouge us and use mass surveillance face recognition software, I’m not helping them criminalise some desperate person nicking food because their hungry – whenever I shop at the Supermarket, I always buy a little extra for the begger out the front, that’s how you help, not by being the tough guy and grabbing desperate people in some Get your bash on vigilante jamboree.
I’m always going to turn a blind eye to hungry people stealing, the real crime is the cost of living crisis that forces so many to steal in the first place.
If ZB Dad start beating up on weaker people, we will start beating up on the ZB Dads.

Martyn do we have to put up with this “sicko” posing as Trumpet? While I appreciate we all have rights to vent our frustrations, “its” postings are way OTT nasty and insulting. Most of us are trying desperately to find solutions to the “horror” this CoC has inflicted on our lovely country and some posts, including, mine can be quite scathing but Trumpet has nothing decent or helpful to contribute so I believe “it” must be a joke or “it” is completely deranged and unbalanced, and urgently needs serious psychiatric help! I see the 3 “it” posted under the ZB Dad article are only on my phone but not on line, so you may have removed them – I sure hope so.

Stupid venal government making out that young people are undeserving of their interest. Goldsmith what a bloody awful name for anyone who belongs to any political party. Go into pawn shops instead Paul G you would be of more value to the people in need.
This is about Catherine Cookson who had just enough care and and love as a young child to overcome hard times with the pawnship helpfully running errands to keep things ticking along in her family. She overcame devastating blows from an undiagnosed bleeding disorder, and to her hopes and self-esteem in life, to become so prolific and well-read an author that she died leaving millions.
…Who, after all, would believe that a woman whose childhood humiliations included frequenting pawn shops, collecting driftwood from the Tyne, being sexually molested at 7 by her mother’s boyfriend, and making daily runs to the pub to fetch her mother and tyrannical grandfather pails of beer would become a successful novelist?

Nurture the young you dried up soulless politicians with access to ways of manipulating money pots – it is like oil in the machinery of our lives, so oil the hinges and stop your whinges!
