Nice item on London Tonight ITV about Pride and at the same time I was reading tonight's Evening Standard. I then thought to myself that I hadn't seen any mention of it in the paper. So went through it again. I stand to corrected if wrong but nada there..... Anything to do with the paper being owned by a Russian and edited by a tory?

There is plenty of coverage on the ES website In London terms, Saturday is a long time ago now. They certainly covered the event on the day and followed up online yesterday

Fair enough but we dont all follow news online and one picture wouldn't have hurt especially as the paper is full of doom and gloom with murders, the Tory leadership and Trump. Something positive wouldn't go amiss.

Tbh i think edited by an incompetent is more like it. Knows nowt about journalism and has turned the standard into chip paper with no other reason for its existence.

Sorry - I wasn't seeking to dismiss. No-one should be touched without consent. Ever But in a tightly packed Soho, it is likely to happen. There is only so much paid stewards, volunteer stewards and the Police can see and do. On the whole, I saw a lot of very positive and supportive behaviour from attendees - that doesn't mean that inappropriate things are permitted just that they are very hard to prevent. The statistics show that crime in London goes down on Pride Saturdays - even with more than 1 million people on the streets. I will certainly raise the issue of attendee safety at our next All Team meeting - to make sure that consent is a key message we send out. Thank you. I have been laughed at on Twitter and other places for daring to say anything. It may just be a joke to him but how about he tell my 8 year old self how hilarious it is to be touched without consent, albeit much more seriously (more than ‘touched’), and then we’ll see how funny he and his hilarious friends find it.
