Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

Does anyone know how you proscribe a "vile thuggish mob" holding up placards saying "Stand Up to Racism" as a terrorist organisation?
Rupert Lowe

Our Restore Britain campaigning team in Holborn & St Pancras has been attacked AGAIN by that vile thuggish mob.

This has now gone well over the line.

We moved location, hired security, kept things entirely peaceful, held a lower profile and they have still gone after our people in the street. Targeting our campaigners with violence and aggression.

Tyler, our candidate, was harassed. Reports of more assaults.

Full details are not clear.

I will send more updates when I get them.

This evil mob are now actively preventing Restore Britain from participating in the democratic process through street violence.

They must be proscribed as a terrorist organisation.
