I find it funny not because anyone who attends these meetings by definition should not be wildly raucous and rude. But the fact that a decision about a school could cause fears about security and behaviour is truly beyond my comprehension.

It's a school, not a worshipping ground for the satanic society or something that may (arguably) warrant public outcries of disgust.

But I will not jump to conclusions. I have absolute faith that those attending the meeting would act with ``appropriate decorum'' I mean they won't be allowed any placards or signs,

which must mean that things will be fine!

Is it bad that I was expecting people to show up with their faces painted in team colours? I would totally paint my face in my team colours (what are the team colours again?) and carry massive signs spelling obscenities about that hated enemy (who is the enemy? I keep forgetting silly me!)

Apparently there must be formal behaviour. We must let councillors speak and not yell from the floor. Bummer. I mean who goes to council meetings and doesn't yell at the councillors

and shout team cries and call for the video ref?

There is definitely an enemy, right? We know who they are, what they look like and how bad it will be if they ``win''? That's why we are chanting our war cry, preparing for a battle that must be won at any cost including our dignity, humanity and common sense.

Oh wait there is no us and them, is there?

No enemy, no hostile takeover, and no reason for shouting and writing obscenities.

We don't need to paint our faces because there are no team colours.

We are all human beings and deserve the rights this great nation allows us.

For all those who expected an origin-esque fight tonight when the council was to announce its decision on the Islamic school, I hope you were disappointed. There is no us and them.

I hope everyone remembered that and didn't mistake a council meeting for a football game.
