tradies NOT in yesterday's protest...

So sad that voices in this thread will probably get little media airplay...
These are tradies who were not part of the protest yesterday in Melbourne...
There are many...
But somehow 'My lunchroom is a shaded spot and my Esky as a seat.' doesn't have sensational shock appeal... https://t.co/4u6Hi4Jj6r

can't sleep...

PASSING THOUGHT: Can't sleep...I feel sorry for the many Victorians watching their state being publicly fractured by the mob mania of a few. I feel sorry for the many Melburnians publicly represented as lacking integrity+resilience by the riotous few. I feel sorry for our Dan... pic.twitter.com/uijs5UU5Q7

wind-whipped waves of psychotic screams...

PASSING THOUGHT: Today, keeping wind-whipped waves of psychotic 'screams' from eroding my 'beach' is a skill I never thought I would need to develop...
But I am working on it...
I must keep working on it... pic.twitter.com/ovWxgyFR9f

"Protesters marched to the top of the West Gate Bridge this afternoon, where they started a singalong to Daryl Braithwaite’s “Horses”. This doesn’t sound like typical behaviour for unionists; more like that of a group of idiots on ivermectin." https://t.co/NjN4FsebBZ

It makes we want to educate people on who writes fricking songs! Rickie Lee Jones wrote The Horses for her daughter. This is not Daryls song.

The West Gate Bridge was the scene of a catastrophic workplace tragedy. No union member would hold a celebration there, it is dancing on the graves of the dead.

My friend was on the Westgate today, returning from visiting her dying mother. Had possibly just seen her mum for the last time.
She was stuck on the bridge because of protesters.
A woman alone. Petrified
Especially when she saw them drag a man out of his car.
