My partner and I got attacked at Download Festival on Sunday. We just stopped to watch a band and a women sat about 10 feet behind us in a chair marched up behind us and shouted 'f*cking get out of my way'. We told her it's a festival, we can stand where we like and you can stand up if you want to see the band. chill out! A young women next to me said she had said the same to her.
The woman then continued a tirade of verbal abuse which included, you are a pair of 'big c*ocks', and 'I am going to hit you'. She then ran up behind me, ripped my hat off my head which pulled my neck back and then threw my hat into the crowd. Her male friend then punched my partner in the face. When I turned I pushed her away from me, she then grabbed my hair and kept pulling it until I was on the ground she then repeatedly kicked me in the head, face and body with her heavy boots . Luckily some wonderful bystanders pulled her away from me, as she was much bigger than me, both in height and width.
We went to the security and police and they said because I pushed her I would be offered a Community Resolution, which I refused to accept. They also said we might be evicted from the festival. We were not treated as victims of assault we were treated as trouble makers. The police failed to take a full statement from us and the Download security didn't even bother talking to us, just the people that attacked us. These terrible people weren't arrested or evicted from the festival, they were allowed to stay and to potentially go on to verbally abuse and attack other innocent people.
I complained to the police and did another statement yesterday. The man taking the statement was shocked as it did not come across as we were victims at all in the statement taken at the festival. It's shocking that a police office saw the video of me on the floor being repeatedly kicked in the head and face and failed to report it correctly, identify us a victims of assault and evict or arrest our attackers.
I am a 55 year old woman with epilepsy, I don't drink or take drugs, my parter is 53 and didn't drink as he was driving. I was looking forward to Download as a distraction as my Mum has just been killed by medical negligence and I have been spending my time dealing with the coroners and all that goes with it. It's been the worst time of my life and this experience has just sent me over the edge.
Shame on the police for victim blaming and failing to protect the public from dangerous people. As for the person at Download security you should be ashamed of yourself, believing them over us and not bothering to collect evidence from both sides.
I have attached a video of me being attacked and some photos of the aggressive woman. In one of the photos you can see her being held back, so she would have happily gone back in to attack me again. I had to go home as I didn't feel safe staying, as they were still at the festival, plus I wasn't in any fit state to stay.
I currently can't work as my chest has been stamped on and i'm struggling to move and breath properly. Eating is fun as the right side of my face and teeth are really uncomfortable and my lip is cut. My vision has also been intermittently blurry and I have felt dizzy. I work for myself, so getting paid time off isn't an option.
We did get some witnesses but if you or anyone you know saw this women attacking or verbally abusing anyone please let me know.
Let's get the face of the women who thinks it's ok to stamp on someones face and head at Download Festival known. People like this should be banned from any festival for life.
A big thanks to all the wonderful people who helped me. Download is a great festival, it's such a shame people like this spoil it for others.

It's pretty on the nose that ppl keep replying with old photos of me that I specifically said are old from my early transition instead of my newer selfies. Like even if you think recent me is still clocky, why are you deciding to use the old pics? Like it's so transparent

En Los Ángeles (EEUU), una mujer celebraba la victoria de los Knicks en la NBA, cuando un vecino avisó a la policía por los ruidos... se presentaron 20 policías y fusilaron a su perro, un "peligroso" Golden Doodle, al abrir la puerta de casa.
EEUU, un régimen policial donde te fusilan al perro si chillas en tu casa demasiado alto... la policía no te protege, tú eres quién tiene que protegerse de la policía.

@Nigel_Farage @Keir_Starmer I feel for the police. I have no doubt the force would have had to complete their white privilege training.

It is clear to everyone but @Keir_Starmer that we are living under two-tier policing in Britain.
The anger millions of us feel comes from losing trust in our justice system to treat everyone equally under the law.
A Reform government would end two-tier policing.

I see a lot of younger Reds on here constantly debating about the ultimate captain. But if you ask anyone who watched us in the 1980s, there is only one man at the top of that mountain: Bryan Robson.
People forget how bleak things were before Fergie sorted us out. We were a massive club going through a proper identity crisis, but Robbo was the world-class glue holding us together. He genuinely carried the entire team on his back for years.
Fergie himself said Robbo was the best captain he ever had, and that tells you everything you need to know. He laid the foundation for the dominance that followed in the 90s.
