Sarah Everard was allegedly abducted whilst walking home from a friends home in Clapham, sadly her body was discovered in Kent last Wednesday and a serving Policeman has been arrested for her murder.
An official organised vigil had been cancelled because of Covid-19 regulations which would have made the event an illegal gathering and the parents of Sarah Everard had also requested the event did not take place.
However, an unofficial vigil took place last night at Clapham Common and was attended by quite a few hundred people, the majority of which seemed to be female, they gathered around the bandstand and placed flowers and lit candles, although why on earth they couldn’t wait another few weeks when it will not be illegal for so many to meet I have no idea.
Unfortunately, for those attending the Police arrived and what seems like a minor scuffle took place which resulted in four women being arrested, one of whom was Patsy Stevenson who said of the events, “I was terrified, I have never been so scared honestly.”
She was asked why she was restrained and arrested and said, “to be honest I still don’t know why I was pushed to the ground so forcefully” and continued that she was released twenty minutes after her arrest and given a £200 fine.
This event has caused quite a stir, with the Liberal Democrat Leader Sir Ed Davey asking for the resignation of the Metropolitan Police Chief, Cressida Dick, 8000 people have also signed a petition to the same effect and the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan has asked for a full enquiry by Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary.
All this seems somewhat over the top to say the least and a complete waste of time and money, to have an inquiry into an illegal event where hundreds of people took part and yet only four arrests were made, the politically correct world in which we now find ourselves is becoming more and more ridiculous with every passing day.
Just in case you missed my point although I would have thought it glaringly obvious;
ILLEGAL EVENT. HUNDREDS TOOK PART. ONLY FOUR ARRESTS.

About The Diary of a Country Bumpkin
I am a retired actor, although to be honest I only retired because I wasn't getting any work due to losing my agent when I became a full time carer to my mother who had dementia. and the option of becoming an unemployed actor/waiter at my age was ludicrous, especially as my waiting skills are non-existent.
Having said I’m retired, I don’t think there really is such a thing as a retired actor for I am still available for work, I just don’t have an agent or any connections with regards to obtaining any worthwhile work.
I have over the years done student films when there is nothing else available, always low paid (if at all) the only incentive was always the promised copy of the finished film for your show reel which nine times out of ten always failed to materialise.
I spent many years looking after my aged mother and shortly after her death I was lucky enough to run into an ex-girlfriend of many years ago and our romance blossomed once again, resulting in us getting married in 2013.
My move to the countryside inspired me to write The Diary of a Country Bumpkin which tells of my continuing dilemmas in dealing with the rigors of the countryside from the unexpectedly large number of pollens, fungal moulds and hay products waiting to attack the unsuspecting townie.
I enjoy writing, see my play Dulce Et Decorum Est Pro Patria Mori on The Wireless Theatre Company, The Plays Wot I Wrote and The Battle of Barking Creek both available on Amazon.co.uk and am very fond of classic cars so my ideal occupation would be acting in a film I had written set in the 1930s/40s, we live in hopes.
I am delighted to say that since venturing to the countryside where space is not quite the premium it is in town, I have due to the availability of two double garages acquired more classic cars to form a small collection the pride of which are a 1947 Bentley Mk VI and a 2000 Bentley Arnage.
My various blogs and websites are continually evolving and I’m sure that by following the appropriate links you will find something which will edify or amuse.
I have written a number of different books all available on Amazon, so don't be shy should you feel the urge to purchase. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mr-Joe-Wells/e/B06XKWFQHT/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1
The Diary of a Country Bumpkin 
She seems to have had a marvellous day telling everyone how hard done by she was. No doubt there will be a claim against the police (and hence every tax payer) for wrongful arrest or some such twaddle.
I certainly hope not.
I agree with you, Joe.
Since I wrote this more footage has come up and I was quite surprised how aggressive the women were towards the Police, I’m sure they could have arrested many more than they did.
