I usually love the way it’s everything to all people, all at once. And most of the time everyone gets along.
But today I felt sad. I witnessed intolerance.
A band was playing the Cranberries’ Zombie while a woman with Downs Syndrome happily danced in front of an appreciative crowd.
Less than 20 metres away police were arresting a young women for holding a handwritten sign.
The intense ‘everything all at once’ sensation continued as I walked 100 metres further to a #Banksy and #Bitcoin exhibition.
I had come for the Ralph Steadman desk used to create the imagery for Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas…but found myself drawn into a strange conversation about the morality of Bitcoin with a tipsy late middle aged man holding a lager bottle.
I said I was opposed to the huge amount of energy it consumed. Not the answer he wanted to hear. Escaped 15 mins later.
