THE BATTLE OF HYDE PARK.

From joyous singing of 'Don't Look Back In Anger' while putting the last year behind those in the circle to a full on battle within ten minutes. Yes, the crowd were breaking Covid rules but after a year locked up and with the infection rate now at 25 in a 100,000 in London many may sympathise with the mainly young crowd for singing with joy. Looking at this small crowd and then witnessing the crowded streets of the Oxford Street shopping district and nightlife areas of Soho with its bargain hunters and revellers ignoring any social distancing one does wonder who was exactly in charge at the Met this day. No negotiator, nobody representing the Police coming over to ask the crowd to disperse just a group of officers pushing and barging their way into the circle attempting to grab and confiscate any instruments they could find igniting the few to revolt while tarnishing the many.

It's given him the opportunity to earn and save before his sturdies although he does admit he does have a fear at how the superstore management don't limit the numbers at any time in store or supply even the most basic of PPE while also selling the non- essentials reaping profits akin to those levels seen in normal times.
