This close, but no closer

Graham slipped in without people's knowledge, either before we'd all arrived or through a back door.
Although prevented from entering the viewing gallery (where they might have been able to have an impact on proceedings), demonstrators were allowed into another room where a screen had been set up.
It should have been possible to hear what was going on through this, but there was a problem with the microphones so in reality it was little more than a murmur.
Food had also been set out in this room, but exactly who it was meant for wasn't entirely clear.
Those inside the building made their presence felt with occasional bursts of chanting, for which they were ultimately thrown out.
Whether Graham was aware of what was going on is unclear, but there were a group of BNPers waiting in the Weatherspoons down the road and a number of police arrived (along with two pretend policemen, probably specials).
