There was some heckling. MT commented that she liked a "fight" and that it was as nothing compared with the abuse she had received in the past. "But the main purpose of her whirlwind tour was to seek out of the views of the shoppers. She talked about everything from the mountain of butter to the price of coffee ...". She was reluctant to say she was certain the Conservatives would win the seat but said: "There is a fighting chance". |
