We sit down with a cup of tea in a kitchen, a living room or a social centre. Sometimes we know each other, sometimes this is the first time we’ve met face to face. I take out the recorder. The red light goes on. We laugh, we cry, we get angry, sad, hopeful, optimistic and disillusioned.
We begin to create a language to talk about that which we have kept silent: ongoing abuse, sexual assault and rape in the ‘radical’ and ‘revolutionary’ activist spaces and networks within the UK left.
