Annabel had gone into Trawden to the meeting of the women’s section of the local party.
“How did it go?” Jim asked when she returned.
“They elected me women’s officer.”
“Well done.”
“They want me to give a speech in Colne.”
“Great, I’ll come and see you.”
“You can’t, men are not allowed.”
“Oh, I won’t then. What’s the matter, you don’t seem very pleased.”
“Do you realise that there are still, otherwise intelligent, people who still believe in a foreign conspiracy?”
“Yes, I think there are.”
“Tonight, I spoke to someone who still believes that both pandemics were created by the Chinese in league with big tech and were brought to England by foreigners. She still thinks there is a foreign plot to destroy our economy and turn us into Chinese slaves.”
“Unity did a good job,” Jim sigh
