Comment on What happened at the Brixton Hustings at St Mathews Community Centre – Mon 27th April by T. Johnson
Not a particularly thorough or succinct summary of candidates, Ruby Bukhari (independent) was very articulate and gave measured responses, whatever your political standpoint. I agree that the socialist candidate was personable. However, If your barometer is judging candidates by whether you can take them for a pint, no wonder you label a woman raising legitimate concerns about women’s night safety and LTNs as ‘shouty and angry’. As someone - a woman- who’s been mugged as a pedestrian in my now quiet LTN neighbourhood, it is most definitely NOT an irrelevant point, and lived experience definitely counts over misogynistic biased assumptions.
