Megaphones

Oh no, the protesters are here again!

Again the Science area of Oxford University is flooded with protesters, police and a lot of facemasks and video cameras. Why does this minority feel it has to cause such a fuss over something it simply don’t understand?

Of course I can’t answer that, but how about regulating the sale of megaphones so that people would have to do an IQ test before purchase? At least we would not have to endure the stream of drivel and ‘facts’ at high volume. Why do we need to hear about the 5-week-old kittens that Oxford University apparently “murdered” in 2002? Something uninteresting and irrelevant does not gain relevance by increasing the volume.
