I just got back from quite a nice trundle around Greenwich to find a group of Reform campaigners, rosettes and all, standing outside my flat. Needless to say, they were told where to go in no short order. Freedom of speech is all well and good, but I know what such people stand for, and how vital it is to resist it. The thought of letting them stay to continue to pollute the local community with their abhorrent politics was one I simply could not abide. I may have overreacted, and I could feel my heart instantly beating hard in my chest; but such xenophobes would away do with everything I hold dear – the welfare state, the NHS, the Beeb, everything. The sight of such people standing outside my home was frankly sickening, and I think I had every right to tell them to move on.
