go the way of the U.S., it's absolutely ridiculous. And in a neighborhood

Signed. As ever, thank you for raising this and raising my awareness. I
feel I live in a bubble sometimes where these things are an abstract
’other’ filtered through art’s lens. It’s important to be reminded where
the reality sits and that it’s there, edging towards us, along the bench
we’re placidly sitting on, distracted by the latest shiny thing.

Hi Michael,

I've signed the petition & donated.

Amazing! The policeman telling you should not be letting the world know
about it via the Internet.

You really should not be training kids how to fire rifles in a school
playground, on a school day.

These cadets or young trainees should be in a kind of cadet barracks. I
used to go to one when I was an army cadet.

Wishing you well.

Marc
