‘Young Bob’ is a radicalised 16-year-old. No context from The Times here, just a platform for his ranting. Give it a couple of years and he’ll have a column.
![‘Radical left killed only proponent of healthy debate’
Thomas Moffat, the youth ambassador for Turning Point UK, spoke of an atmosphere of the radical left persecuting conservatives — describing an opposition that would not meet them for debate but would “shoot at them”.
Moffat, who addressed the crowd under the moniker “Young Bob”, said: “[Kirk] is the foundation of the conservative pipeline for young people in the United Kingdom and United States.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vovca6kgp5ge773agrlvr7uu/bafkreidsnfyd7mcp5aycxt7eifq5e3g3ot24npbwkixq3jg4bthpxlmtja@jpeg)
