It's one thing to stand on a street corner and express your view and try to rally the people. People can listen if they want, they can walk away if they don't want.
It's another thing to board a moving bus or a tube and effectively "force" people to listen or get off at the next stop and essentially have to pay a double fare by waiting for the next vehicle.
Personally I hate it when people behave like this.
I think the situation that we face is so drastic that a little discomfort is a price worth paying. Lorraine shows considerable courage in speaking directly to the public. In days gone by it was 'the man on the Clapham omnibus' who was said to represent public opinion.
