And where is Sir Keir Starmer’s Holborn constituency? Camden.
Surely picket lines are outlawed during lockdown life in Britain

When asked about the issue at the hearing, Dame Melanie Dawes, head of UK communications regulator Ofcom, said it was “extremely inappropriate” for broadcasters to seek to “balance” appearances by transgender people with activists from anti-trans pressure groups. ....
