[Politics] Charles Walker MP- Pint Of Milk Protest

[beorhthelm]

read the transcript... i sense he had a point, used the milk as a metaphor, went off on his ramble about the milk and forgot to make the point.

Part of me thinks he's gone too far with his analogy making it non-sensical. But then if he hadn't, I wouldn't have seen it, so I guess he's right to have done what he did.

He can't openly incite seditious behaviour (we leave that to US politicians) so he has to be a little bit cryptic in, what is in effect, calling for a degree of [very British] civil disobedience.

That's my take.

I got that he was against the bill.

I kind of got the milk symbolism but couldn't see how it relates to bill given the form of protest he was alluding to.

Why not just wear a t-shirt with an anti bill slogan. You can't get arrested for that either.

I see the point he is trying to make, a bit. But he's gone too abstract or just lost it somewhere.

Same bloke as the one who got a standing ovation from Labour after some low-brow skullduggery from William Hague six years ago.

He is my local MP and has taken an increasingly anti-lockdown position in recent months and looking at his wider contributions seems to have spent the first part of the lockdown reading Ayn Rand. I wrote to him a couple of months ago challenging the assumptions behind his ant-lockdown position and he sent back a detailed and coherent reply so he is capable of this. I think the milk speech is a pretty abstract and convoluted way to make a simple enough point. However he does have some form with metaphors in speeches; he used fishing in this way when presenting prizes at my daughter's school some years back.
