  I asked her why she was there and she looked incredulous. Wasn’t it obvious? “Because Keir Starmer’s a wanker.” Why? “He’s taking our speech away.” Even though you’re allowed to sit outside his house and call him a wanker? “Well he is.”

  I wonder why the author felt the need to place this early on in the narration. As if the reader, from now on, needs to imagine a dumb bimbo that got verbally dunked on.

  but more still felt this far-right gathering was the only place they could be heard

  Sadly the author missed the opportunity for self-reflection. They are right: people talk about them, they talk against them, but never with them.
