>> I was expressing the opinion that "The Vigil" was a pointless and useless exercise.
Very few protests are seen, in isolation, to change things although the Met's over reaction gave the Sarah Everard vigil a shed load more impact.
Protest gives an issue a higher public profile. The Everard case and public view of it drove the reaction to the Henry/Smallman photo case and the various disgusting Whatsapp groups.
The whole Violence Against Women and Girls thing climbs the chart in terms of political action:
