The Polka Dot Brigade (6/6)
A group of people that had finally had enough of the bullying formed and they were immediately branded radicals and polka dot bigots. Poor Tom, who'd taken his own life after being hounded and harrassed, became their icon. They fought back, even in the midst of censorship, bullying and extreme violence.
They're still fighting today. Did the silent majority stay silent too long and give the Polka Dot Brigade too much time to get too powerful? Only time will tell.
This story was completely fictional. After all, something like that could not possibly ever happen in real life... could it?

I’m with Tom; I love polka dots... but just on ladies’ dresses and tablecloths.

Sorry, Christopher, accidental comment posted above which should have been on #2.
This is scary. But I dare not be seen to be partisan. I’m getting out the paint now and cutting out some circles as I write....

Thanks, Neville. It sounds silly on the face of it but you could replace the words polka dots with other things and it's exactly what's going on today.

Thanks, Drew. Sorry for being so late in responding, but I took my sabbatical from Drablr just as you came back apparently. Now I'm back and you're gone again!
