One of my favourite parts of being a psychiatrist is telling the referring internal medical doctor "hmm, curious" and then wandering off.

Waiting for the storm to hit is painful. Knowing what is coming feels unreal. Watching the general public hoard food, ignore advice and continue to spread this virus, knowing that in just weeks we will be seeing mass fatalities, its infuriating, depressing and, frankly, enraging.

A march against genocide is not a hate march. A sit in at a rail station is not a terrorist act. Asking for a ceasefire to save children is not antisemitism. It is in the spirit of Armistice to lay down arms, so this is not a desecration, it is an echo.

I agree with the Prime Minister. It is entirely unacceptable to desecrate Armistice Day with a hate march through London. If it goes ahead there is an obvious risk of serious public disorder, violence and damage as well as giving offence to millions of decent British people. 1/2
