I was planning on giving an update and post about something that has been irritating me recently, but with the forum being the way it is now, I will wait till it has been fixed. (when ever that may be) The more I learn the angrier I get which fuels me to fight and challenge the system, but when the system is already so broken to begin with there is simply no playground to start the fight unless you have money.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description><pubDate>Fri, 16 Apr 2021 21:35:48 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>xDanx</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: Alternative to the forum?</title><link>https://forum.unlock.org.uk/FindPost31314.aspx</link><description>I understand the keeping head down but also our stories are important for those looking for hope when they feel there isn't any, especially for those starting this horrific journey as I feel there'll be so many more in the years to come. I think it's wrong this situation is destroying and ending lives.</description><pubDate>Fri, 16 Apr 2021 15:23:18 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Mr W</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: Alternative to the forum?</title><link>https://forum.unlock.org.uk/FindPost31311.aspx</link><description>"As mentioned earlier, I just want to keep my head down and fly below the RADAR as long as possible and hopefully come out the other end with some semblance of a normal life."&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;With you on that. The police have been acting unlawfully (side note: Illegal means that it is forbidden by a law that has been passed. Unlawful means that it is not authorised by law because no such law has been passed.) but they only have 14 more months left of it. In a previous life, I would have taken up the cudgels on behalf of someone else, but as with you, I just want to keep my head down and get it over with.</description><pubDate>Sat, 10 Apr 2021 09:00:11 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Was</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: Alternative to the forum?</title><link>https://forum.unlock.org.uk/FindPost31310.aspx</link><description>Of course how you wish to proceed is entirely your choice, I can understand challenging all of this will be both mentally and physically draining.

This will sound pretty defeatist attitude but I'm at that point now where I just want to get through this as painlessly and with the least amount of hassle as possible so I can just put it behind me and move on with my life. Going to my MP or whatever will just bring my case back into the limelight and bring everything back up again and I just don't have the mental or physical energy to bother going through it all again. Last time I tried to stand up against some of this stuff I ended up getting my address and information published online and had folk at my door threatening to kick my head in, for the record the police did absolutely nothing about it.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description><pubDate>Fri, 09 Apr 2021 16:40:46 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>khafka</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
