So I don't see how we can be split in the vote when we're not even on the same page.

Of course, I really had to think long and hard about the threat to my personal safety.

I've had that in my role as a counsellor.

I knew that would increase.

There's been days where I've had to have security with me and that's really worrying and really sad.

Their life is going to get so much harder.

And so it was like, I can do this.

And if it was the other way around, like if I was really oppressed, like they would be doing that for me.

I know that because I've lived amongst people in Greater Manchester and that's what we do.

We stick up for each other.
