What really happened when I had coffee with Toby Young
From our UK edition
I was one of those protesters outside the Tory conference last week. I was getting stuck in to venting five and a half years’ worth of pent-up anger about this government as members walked in. And then a Tory man - who looked like the usual Tory sort who can afford to be well-dressed all of the time like the the rest of their clan - approached me. He turned out to be a journalist who wanted to talk to a protester. I agreed. Toby Young wrote about our meeting last week. Here’s my side of the story. I spoke from my heart, about how I had cried whilst reading stories about Atos and people being pushed over the edge. And then again at the terrible plight of the refugees. ‘But the Conservatives do want to help the poor,’ Toby retorted. I demanded an example.
