"Normal" advice to not walk around at night in Bristol.

As a Bristolan woman I was a bit put out by the police advice that there was no specif threat to women but to take the "normal" precautions of not walking around after dark on your own.I was taken aback at this as theirs nothing bloody normal about it.

I tried contacting the local reclaim the night people but to no avail.The local students need to be advised and the bloody clicky feminist of Bristol need to understand that this is issue that need to be addressed.

I cant do anything about it do to certain circumstances.A word in there shell fellow Feminist MNers please if posable.

If there was a reclaim the night march now, a lot of us would go on it.

As I say, I tried contacting the local feminist, clicky Bollox as I'm a 'Know' woman cartoonist in the area.

And I'm a bit too much of a old mummy to talk to the UWE crew I think.I had a look on the Femanista website earlier and saw theirs a limp statement about the Bristol situation from them on Wednesday.3 weeks after I tried talking to em.
Iv offered to donate a comic strip to give out to freshers on advice.
Banging head against wall.

I just think a prompt from someone who isn't me may help.

We need a fucking march here so badly.I rember when they were going up north in the 80s.(yes that old)

MNers get things done, I'm hoping someone may gee them up from on here.Fucked if I can shake them out of there harmonizing.

Just contacted the UK feminsta website.

I really think that the local branch are missing a beat here and not organizing a march.Was up Clifton the other week and there were blokes swaggering around enjoying the discomfort.Asholes.

Just wish the local lot would get there act together and stop being so bloody introspective.Fuck harmonized singing at each other and bloody get a march going.

There are loads of us who will.
