So I'm not so sure that is a good enough excuse.

I think you are right about the token banning - that Doctor guy? Maybe that was supposed to be enough for us?

No, it's not enough. For me anyway, and lots of others.
We are being ignored and that makes me angry. We are apparently invisible - I don't expect a magic solution tomorrow but give us at least the respect to recognize we are troubled by this. But no word at all. To anyone, even by PM.

There would be no such thing is there was a holocaust denial weekend or a homophobia weekend. We all know this.

But we are supposed to wait our turn. Like forever. Like real life.
