Every such institutional betrayal brings us one step closer to complete evisceration of our constitutional democracy. We may be unrecognisable to ourselves after five more years.

Social media makes it too easy to opportunistically vilify someone whose politics you hate, for a poor choice of words or a lapse in judgement. Let those who live in glass houses not cast the first stone.
When the choice of words are misconstrued easily, it is important to clarify. Only we who were there know what a traumatic day it was. We lost friends who were in the watch and ward staff and a cameraperson who later passed away. Should have been much more careful in word usage.
