When politicians say: “yes, the people are angry and I can understand their anger”. OK, BUT WHAT IS YOUR JOB AS A POLITICIAN? Is is not to help those people by fairest calming them down and helping them not to be angry but to try to resolve their issues and find solutions???
Fanning the flame and seeking to channel people’s anger to secure their votes is not decent!
Politicians from all backgrounds, all parties, should be able to disagree with each other on the HOW, but ultimately, they must work together to solve problems. Representing people is not about repeating what they tell you and say you are their champion! It is about educating them and empathising with them, but calming down tensions and ensuring we don’t have rioting and violence on the street in the name of protesting!
We CANNOT possibly become a nation (in the UK) where people are afraid to come out of their homes because someone’s protesting something or the other. We are too advanced to end up like undeveloped countries. The government must step up and sort this madness out!
ALL our politicians MUST stop the dangerous rhetoric now! WORK TOGETHER! solve the problems leading to these weekly outbreak of violent protest! We must be better!!!
