![On the doorstep in Makerfield | In-Depth
With trepidation, I approached the knocker. The protean being that answered wasn't human, in the way you or I might understand. But they were something more important, something that had dragged me North. They were a voter.
"How furious are you?", I asked.
"Extremely", they said, with anger.
"Out of ten?", I asked, backpedaling frantically along the drive.
"Eleven."
Those words reverberated around my head as I sat in my thankfully flexible Standard Premium seat. What did it mean? Was Burnham in trouble? And what more could I learn from the safety of my study?
