Campaign Hustings
I'm on the campaign trail and it's clear there is a mood for change.
Sometimes the law truly is an ass and respect has to be given to those prepared to do the right thing even if it transgresses it.
I can't recall a time when I have explicitly and publicly endorsed breaking the law.
During the COVID confected crisis, I voiced my concerns around the rules and I personally broke many of them. I was more than happy to do so in full knowledge that I would personally bear the consequences.
I was more than happy to go maskless, not use QR codes and refuse to show my private health status. There wasn't a single lockdown period where I didn't break the rules and I'm proud of my personal rebellion.
However, I always refrained from suggesting other people do the same or endorsing this 'criminal' subversion.
Today however, I am more than happy to support one particular act of lawbreaking.
