I had never experienced a reaction like it. As we walked from outside the Royal Courts of Justice, through theatreland and down to Whitehall people stopped to cheer us on. Others ducked under the cordon and joined in. On the top deck of a London bus, people stood up to clap and a woman shouted “good on you” from the open window.
While, over on Twitter, angry folk (some men calling themselves ‘incels’ in their bios) wave their flaming torches and shout ‘murder’ into the void, in the real world things have looked very different in the 35 days since Carla Foster was jailed for procuring her own late-term abortion and thousands of us protesters marched through central London to demand her release.
