Pinnock meets up with Butler in a local cafe to discuss her experiences with racism within the political sphere. The MP reveals the level of abuse she's suffered, noting, "I've had to close my office because of the racism." She tells Pinnock: "I was getting calls at 3 o'clock in the morning, abusive answer-phone messages. I was attacked on the train, that was horrific. One day I turned up and my staff had bought themselves a stab vest."
