A Dog's Dinner

Reflections on the Challenge

When you hear a dramatic political statement, notice the polarised reactions, and to what extent they are hypnotic. Observe your own emotional response without judgement. Raise a leg. As awareness returns, look out for synchronicities.

• Experiences

  L recalled hearing a political statement by Richard Tice after the local elections, in which Tice pledged that his party would do everything possible to sabotage the green agenda. L had noticed the attitude behind this and found it identical to that of Tice’s opponents who had previously tried to frustrate Brexit. Although he had sympathised with Tice, he had seen both sides as hypnotised. He had performed the leg-raising exercise twice and noted that his emotional reaction had been neutral, expecting people to diverge from their stated intentions.
