Miss Page, our teacher, shows us a brooch her father found in the river. She tells us it has the suffragette colours, purple white and green. They were the women who protested and threw themselves under horses to get the vote. We girls think that’s bloody marvellous, (we’re not supposed to swear but bloody, ruddy and flip are allowed) the boys just grunt. No one votes now. It disappeared after something called Brexit! We’re told it was divisive. Strange that people were given the choice on whether to leave Europe or not. To be honest I’m not sure where Europe is on the map. We have zones now and the World Council of Women decide major and minor issues. Tomorrow we are studying Boris Johnson, Keir Starmer, Donald Trump and Fake News. Sounds really boring!
