. Shame 1 vol & 2 members of the public were unable to engage in civil debate. Our runner & women leafleting were subject to verbal abuse. Luckily we can smile, engage with people we don't agree with & argue facts.

It takes real bravery to do something knowing you might be insulted & abused verbally, possibly physically. Well done & thank you 👍

It must be hard when you get abuse, but you either stand now or just give up and let men have it all.

Good for you. I'd be a lone voice at our event. I swerve it now...
