He said angry demonstrators also mocked the death of Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA and a central figure in conservative youth politics, while trying to remove the group from campus.
"In their eyes, it must have just been seen as them trying to commit some sort of humiliation ritual," Moffitt added. "We’re trying to continue Charlie’s fight here in the U.K."

Kirk previously spoke in Britain at events such as the Oxford Union, encouraging conservative student activism abroad.
Moffitt, who has been part of Turning Point UK for two years, said that violence and intimidation have followed the chapter's activism from the start.
"Throughout the duration of reporting for TPUK and doing stands on abortion, transgenderism and migration, we’ve had bottles of urine chucked at us, glue chucked at us, cans of beans chucked in my face," he said.

"We saw that, really, we can start to import what the U.S. was very successful in terms of preaching and evangelizing young people into conservatism," he said.
"I think that we should take this momentum and opportunity and kind of grow out TPUK," he continued, saying Kirk "would have loved to see the format that he made popular in the U.K."

"We must continue the fight regardless of what country we’re in, because the West needs conservatism," he added.
"If I were… ever able to have the opportunity to speak to Erika [Kirk], I would firstly give huge admiration towards her husband on the formula and ideas that I [drew] great inspiration from," Moffitt said.
