I’ve had a bumpy political education this past week.
Last Friday I felt like I woke up in a different country. Like I was surrounded by people who thought in a completely different way to me, that the whole population had been quietly disapproving of my lifestyle and beliefs, moving as a silent mass to the right … to the far right. It’s not an exaggeration to say that I felt angry, or threatened by people out and about – how can you think like that?! How could you do that??
