The MPs are calling for people to not protest and keep social distancing rules in play, but they didnāt give a tit and say a single thing about the VE Day street parties or the thousands of people who flocked to the beach. And to be honest them now asking for people to mandatory wear face masks on public transport 3 months later than it should is just them trying to buy a tiny plaster on a massive gushing wound.
There has been so much information being shared around social media about how to keep safe during the protests, asking people to wear masks/gloves/long sleeved clothing, and to try and keep distance from other people where possible. And looking at images from local protests from today, the majority are wearing face masks and gloves which is great.
The second spike has always been very much expected, and my partner whoās in the medical field has said that hospitals have been preparing for a second spike work load long before lockdown was eased, there is not āif there is a second spikeā, there is going to be one. Weāve had out lockdown eased too soon to try and distract people and forget all about the Cummings scandal.
I really hope people will not solely blame these protest as the reason for the second spike, these people are out there supporting a very important cause that needs itās voice heard and for changes to happen - just compare that to the thousands of people not social distancing at the packed out beaches, breaking social distancing rules for their own selfishness.
I dunno thatās my thoughts anyway.
As this is a Helen thread Iām happy sheās educating herself on the topic and is going out to march. Be safe out there people x
Oh thatās great to know, thank you!Also for anyone wanting to protest who doesn't feel comfortable leaving home/if you're shielding - BLM UK have put out an online zoom link so you can join too
It is sad and there will be, but lets not be so naive as to think it will solely be based on protests, where everyone is looking more protected than the everyday person on the street. Everywhere i go now, shopping, walking, doctors....social distancing is out of the window, no one cares anymore..so, because of lags it will be convenient for publoc, media, government to blame the protests but in all honesty, its not. Dont get me wrong, i wouldnt go anywhere near a protest right now beliefs or not. . . . But they wont be the sole contributor. Im most likely to get it from Ronald and Julie who went to the beach last weekend, who didnt wash for 2 days and dont social distance and wear no mask in the queue of the co-op

I agree, I read today the R has already gone back over 1 in the NW and in London, so how are they going to deal with that? Put us back into lockdown. Suddenly implementing face masks now is crazy. Talk about closing the stable door once the horse has bolted. The Cummings fiasco was the final straw and made a lot of people really give up but people were breaking the rules before that anyway so they canāt blame it on the protests, although Iām sure theyāll try.
I donāt understand why they give the guidance in advance for some rules. Why say in 5 days time you can start socialising in groups of 6 or in private gardens because they know people will just start doing it straight away. They should give the guidance for things like that on the day the restriction is lifted.
My concern with instagrammers like Helen right now attending these protests is the same as for the black squares, is it just virtue signalling to make them look good or do they really care. Thatās just cynical me tho!

I'm going to a protest tomorrow but I'm hanging back so I can stay socially distant. Everyone has been asked to wear masks. I won't be talking any photos because it isn't about that. Have you guys seen influencers in the wild on Insta? Terrifying stuff
Yes! I was going to say about that in my post. Just awful people
If you believe Helen cares about BLM (or any cause for that matter) you are being hoodwinked.
"Doing it for the gram" comes to mind for a lot of them.
Maybe so, but at least sheās using her platform for sharing the topic and giving useful links to information.
That being said I am fully expecting her to post a posing picture of her at the protest, for the āgram
Thanks! I didn't know this!Also for anyone wanting to protest who doesn't feel comfortable leaving home/if you're shielding - BLM UK have put out an online zoom link so you can join too
I really hope people protesting protect themselves as much as they can. I'm just incredibly worried as I live with a sick family member and tbh, they're scared stiff.
I'll be interested to see if she vlogs it or anything.
Also anyone who is protesting tomorrow, please be careful!
I couldnāt agree more with this, it is unbelievably patronising, I fully support BLM and sharing information of course I do like any decent human would but what I cannot stand is all these influencers coming out and being aggressive and guilt tripping their followers, I have seen Helens posts (shock the only one on her grid matches her colour scheme) and zoelondon and they are acting like they havenāt been complicit as well! I would rather see information shared (donāt particularly like her but zoella has done well sharing lots of insightful information) without being so aggressive! Also Helen comes across as dumb and Iām sorry to be cynical like others but I donāt think she really cares that much, I think she is more caring about the fact that she hasnāt been able to post content in the last week and wonāt be able to ātreat herselfā to more tit.
I'm fed up of nobody caring anymore. I have noticed the media aren't running stories about sad deaths any more and we are not seeing updates on every channel and the NHS are no longer mentioned so without all these reminders people are assuming it's all getting better now
I fear the previous strict lockdown will have been wasted effort sadly.

Bet she will post a pic of her standing in a cool pose at the protest holding a sign on a stick, probably in her cowboy hat!!Maybe so, but at least sheās using her platform for sharing the topic and giving useful links to information.

I have a friend very similar to Helen, constantly needs to have a boyfriend / attention from any man, will literally go home with anyone after a night out just so she gets some attention, changes herself completely to fit whichever boy she is āseeingā at the time.. so much so she took up smoking and got a tattoo to try to keep one guy once who just wanted to be friends... I donāt think behaviour like this is right at all, and there must be some underlying mental health issue to be like this!! I donāt get Helens (or my mates) constant need to be with someone, just be single for a while 
Jeez
Jeezlmao I can vision the picture right now. Low angle, power stance, cowboy boots, cowboy hat, band t-shirt, sign in hand accompanied by a caption that Gleam probably drafted out for her
Just got back from the protest in my town. Lots more people there than I expected. I hung back and social distanced where I could. Some people got a bit too close but 99% of people wore masks. It was nice and peaceful. I'm glad I went.
I havenāt posted on this thread before but I used to enjoy watching Helen but my sister is exactly the same as your friend and Helen. Sheās in her 50ās and heading towards a massive breakdown because of this inability to be herself (sheās never known who she really is). Itās for sure a mental health issue. Please get some help Helen, before itās too late!I have a friend very similar to Helen, constantly needs to have a boyfriend / attention from any man, will literally go home with anyone after a night out just so she gets some attention, changes herself completely to fit whichever boy she is āseeingā at the time.. so much so she took up smoking and got a tattoo to try to keep one guy once who just wanted to be friends...

Yes, everyone is forgetting about the virus and the very real possibility of getting it yourself it passing on unknowingly. We are being encouraged to by the media so that 1) we all forget about Cummings and he stays in power 
and 2) so we all get back to work and spending 
for the all important economy. The lock down was to prevent an embarrassing collapse of the UKs healthcare. Embarrassing for the government. They don't care about us, they care about how much money we create and how much they can make out of manipulating said economy.
Woah, ranty. Thanks to anyone who read that.
I hope whoever protested keeps healthy, and it was great to hear about people wearing ppe and 2 m apart.
Who votes for Helen doing home brewing for a new video!

I have to say, some British names make me chuckle. No matter how many times I tell myself that those names have a proper meaning from older time, I just cant help myself.
It's really upsetting when one of your friends just can't get it through their head that they don't need to constantly be dating or hooking up with people. Taking time for yourself, especially in between serious relationships (cough cough Helen) is so important. Essentially losing their personality because they're trying to get a boy to like them.I have a friend very similar to Helen, constantly needs to have a boyfriend / attention from any man, will literally go home with anyone after a night out just so she gets some attention, changes herself completely to fit whichever boy she is āseeingā at the time.. so much so she took up smoking and got a tattoo to try to keep one guy once who just wanted to be friends...
