Rachael Bletchly: Mob mentality is stifling debate and denying right to hold different opinion
Do you remember those first few weeks of lockdown, when we’d all just boarded the corona coaster?
We were anxious, frightened, unsure what new normal would mean.
But after rolling down the first scary slope we quickly rose up again, riding a rush of real
spirit sparked by our collective pandemic experience.
Yet this week someone has taken the brakes off and sent us hurtling down- wards again – and it makes me want to raise my arms and scream.
The mood of the nation has apparently changed from kindness and concern to anger and judgment.
And I fear it will derail the bandwagons that could carry us to a more inclusive future.

Annie Kilner has opened up about her heartbreaking break-up with Manchester City star who has fathered a child with reality star Lauryn Goodman
Kyle Walker's ex Annie Kilner says she 'lost baby days before he got model pregnant'
Kyle Walker's devastated ex Annie Kilner has claimed that days before the Manchester City star embarked on a relationship with model Lauryn Goodman she suffered a miscarriage.
Annie and the Manchester City star's 11 year relationship has been torn apart as a result of his infedelity.
She discovered he'd been unfaithful to her with On The Beach reality star Laura Brown early last year.
When Kyle, 30, and Annie, who have three kids together, split last summer he then went on to father a child with ex Lauryn Goodman during a relationship last summer.
In an interview Annie spoke candidly about their break up and claimed that days before Kyle allegedly met Lauryn, she suffered a miscarriage.
She said she was also devastated when he confessed that the reality star was pregnant with his baby and still struggles to come to terms with the loss of Kyle.
She told the Mail On Sunday : "I don't know what my thoughts or feelings are any more. I feel dead inside. Each day is filled with pain.
"I don't think I'll ever be the same again because of what he's done. It makes me really sad that I've been damaged so badly when I've done nothing to deserve it.

"I've tried to hate him but how can I hate the man my kids love so much? Before the infidelity he was my best friend, my soulmate. I could count on him for anything."

thedailymirror--2020-06-14--Man Utd's Sanchez stance sees Woodward hand Solskjaer fresh conundrum

“ Sometimes when you decorate your living room it might be a nice chair or nice sofa but it maybe doesn ’ t go with the rest of it.
” So said Ole Gunnar Solskjaer , not while actually discussing interior design , but instead the inner workings of his Manchester United dressing room .
The Norwegian has spent the last 15 months , since being appointed as permanent manager , putting his mark on the inner sanctum at Old Trafford .
That has meant turning loose players that he didn ’ t necessarily see fitting his Manchester United side @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Lukaku , who moved to Inter Milan .
But while United cashed in on Lukaku an recouped much of their £75million outlay on the Belgian hitman , they have been left hamstrung by the mega-money contract they handed Sanchez when taking him from Arsenal in January 2018 .
The Chilean ’ s £400k-a-week deal , combined with his recent injury history and his age , means that they were only able to secure a temporary switch to San Siro last summer .
It is however unlikely to lead to a permanent switch .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ United when the Italian campaign finishes , ahead of the 2020-21 season .
Publicly Solskjaer has stated it is up to Sanchez to return and prove his worth , that the door isn ’ t closed .
“ Of course there ’ s a place for good players and good people in this environment.
” Sources have told Mirror Sport that Sanchez could play a part , if he 's willing to accept a squad role rather than a first choice guarantee .
Given he is now 31 , if Sanchez is interested @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that is unlikely to appease the ex-Barcelona man .
Solskjaer is wary of disturbing the balance he has cultivated within his squad .
He wants to continue pushing first-team pathways for Mason Greenwood and Daniel James , giving them regular minutes to encourage their development .
Solskjaer sees Marcus Rashford as his main man , has faith in Anthony Martial and is clear that Jadon Sancho is the forward he wants to add this summer , as he focuses on getting closer to Manchester City and Liverpool .
For the first time in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has a clear identity on the field .
It is young youth , quick , fresh , and now has Bruno Fernandes and fit-again Paul Pogba ready to pull the strings and create .
But with two years left on the South American ’ s contract , he and executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward have few outs , especially given the impact on football ’ s finances due to the coronavirus pandemic .
Steve Bates reports in the Sunday Mirror that Woodward and Solskjaer have held talks over Sanchez ’ s return , with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the table .
That is largely due to the player ’ s huge contract and United have absolutely no intention of paying him up to move him out .
They have paid up contracts in the not-too-distant past - such as Bastian Schweinsteiger - swallowing the cost in one go .
But Woodward is reticent to do so again amid the ongoing uncertainty of the coronavirus pandemic and also will want a similar percentage of his salary paid as Inter have done this season ; United have been paying £175k-a-week for Sanchez NOT @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Solskjaer somewhere between a rock and a hard place .
Sanchez , who turns 32 in December , has been a disaster for the club , and there is little to suggest from Italy that he is anything other than a busted flush whose best days are behind him .
The Norwegian has put in place and stuck to his strategy since succeeding Jose Mourinho , but now may be forced into a compromise thanks to a past failure from the man above .
Even as United look forwards , they can not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ And that ’ s going to leave Solskjaer with an ill-fit among his ensemble .

Manchester United face their £400k-a-week misfit returning to the club when his Inter Milan loan ends and with the executive vice-chairman standing firm on his end, Solskjaer is left looking at a compromise
“Sometimes when you decorate your living room it might be a nice chair or nice sofa but it maybe doesn’t go with the rest of it.”
So said Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, not while actually discussing interior design, but instead the inner workings of his Manchester United dressing room.
The Norwegian has spent the last 15 months, since being appointed as permanent manager, putting his mark on the inner sanctum at Old Trafford.
That has meant turning loose players that he didn’t necessarily see fitting his Manchester United side.
That meant an exit for Romelu Lukaku, who moved to Inter Milan.
And also, Alexis Sanchez.

But while United cashed in on Lukaku an recouped much of their £75million outlay on the Belgian hitman, they have been left hamstrung by the mega-money contract they handed Sanchez when taking him from Arsenal in January 2018.
The Chilean’s £400k-a-week deal, combined with his recent injury history and his age, means that they were only able to secure a temporary switch to San Siro last summer.
It is however unlikely to lead to a permanent switch.
That will leave Sanchez heading back to United when the Italian campaign finishes, ahead of the 2020-21 season.

Publicly Solskjaer has stated it is up to Sanchez to return and prove his worth, that the door isn’t closed.
“Of course there’s a place for good players and good people in this environment.”
Sources have told Mirror Sport that Sanchez could play a part, if he's willing to accept a squad role rather than a first choice guarantee.
Given he is now 31, if Sanchez is interested in playing week in week out, that is unlikely to appease the ex-Barcelona man.

Solskjaer is wary of disturbing the balance he has cultivated within his squad.
He wants to continue pushing first-team pathways for Mason Greenwood and Daniel James, giving them regular minutes to encourage their development.
Solskjaer sees Marcus Rashford as his main man, has faith in Anthony Martial and is clear that Jadon Sancho is the forward he wants to add this summer, as he focuses on getting closer to Manchester City and Liverpool.
For the first time in a long time, United's attack has a clear identity on the field. It is young youth, quick, fresh, and now has Bruno Fernandes and fit-again Paul Pogba ready to pull the strings and create.
Simply, Sanchez just doesn't fit.

But with two years left on the South American’s contract, he and executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward have few outs, especially given the impact on football’s finances due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Steve Bates reports in the Sunday Mirror that Woodward and Solskjaer have held talks over Sanchez’s return, with few options for another temporary escape on the table.

That is largely due to the player’s huge contract and United have absolutely no intention of paying him up to move him out.
They have paid up contracts in the not-too-distant past - such as Bastian Schweinsteiger - swallowing the cost in one go.
But Woodward is reticent to do so again amid the ongoing uncertainty of the coronavirus pandemic and also will want a similar percentage of his salary paid as Inter have done this season; United have been paying £175k-a-week for Sanchez NOT to play for them.
That leaves Solskjaer somewhere between a rock and a hard place.
Sanchez, who turns 32 in December, has been a disaster for the club, and there is little to suggest from Italy that he is anything other than a busted flush whose best days are behind him.
The Norwegian has put in place and stuck to his strategy since succeeding Jose Mourinho, but now may be forced into a compromise thanks to a past failure from the man above.
Even as United look forwards, they cannot escape Woodward’s difficult past.
And that’s going to leave Solskjaer with an ill-fit among his ensemble.

Post Office union members accuse bosses of not letting them into talks after court win
Post Office union members have complained bosses are refusing to let them into talks following their victory in a £57.8million High Court battle.

Postmasters branch secretary Mark Baker said a rival union, the National Federation of Subpostmasters, continued to be the only recognised body in talks.
He said: "We've been totally excluded from any negotiations. We've been challenging the CEO on how this fits with the commitment to reset relations with subpostmasters.
"We, as subpostmasters, have not been able to choose our representative body. They don't want to speak to anybody who will answer back."
Mr Baker said issues with the Horizon IT system still continued, but postmasters were being "kept in the dark" over what was being done to address these.
And he said union members feared improvements were not being made to Horizon because the Post Office was planning to scrap the system and roll out PayZone systems like those found in convenience stores.
He said this could herald the closure of branches, with more complicated services related to passports and driving licence applications centralised in cities and large towns.

Chancellor Rishi Sunak has revealed he was racially abused as a child but was `` particularly upset '' when it happened in front of his younger siblings .
The 40-year-old politician , whose grandparents were immigrants from India , said that verbal abuse had `` stung '' the most .
He told Sky News : `` The things that stung me the most are when I 've been with my younger siblings , when I was younger .
`` It 's one thing when they 're happening to you on your own , it 's difficult enough , but when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with me , it was particularly upsetting .
I did n't want them to have to deal with it , I wanted to protect them from it .
It may just be words but actually they sting in a way that other things do n't .

Mr Sunak , who was born in Southampton to a GP father GP and pharmacist mother , was educated at the prestigious Winchester College - @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he was head boy .
The Chancellor said the violent clashes in London on Saturday were “ shocking and disgusting ” .
He added : `` there 's more to do '' but `` real change does n't come from wanton destruction or violence '' .
It came as David Lammy called on the Government to `` deal with the substance '' around racism and not focus on the ongoing row over statues .
The shadow justice secretary suggested the dispute over historical figures was `` a bit of deflection '' when ministers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deep inequalities that remain in the UK .
Labour is desperate to avoid being drawn into a culture war it could ultimately lose and to instead shift attention back to the serious issues at play .
Mr Lammy told the BBC : `` This looks to me like a bit of deflection .
