   How has campaigning taken over Bates' life?

   • The campaigning has taken over his life. Hobbies he previously had, such as being involved with local history societies, had to be shelved. “You have to make a commitment; you have to cut a lot out of your life,” says Bates. To get away from it all, he goes hill walking.

   How much training did Bates have?

   • The roll-out, he says, was “poorly done and all done at a rush”. Bates was given a day and a half of training, while his staff had one day, before they were given a huge manual to follow. He describes the training itself as “nonsense really”, nothing more than “a box-ticking exercise”.
