Your thoughts?

Glad I am not alone in being so angry about him being suspended. He should be commended. No one else acted. Sick and tired of activists, particularly female ones! She deserved what she got, which was no different from a trouble maker being removed from a nightclub by a bouncer. Had it been a man, there would be no complaints!

[Jackdaw33]

Well said, Nelly. With a few notable exceptions most on this site think as you do.

[TonyV]

He was well out of order, whatever excuses he want's to use.

[New Judge]

So should he (and the rest of those present) simply have sat back and waited for whatever the invader to do whatever she'd decided to do, Tony?

[wolf63]

Women may be physically weaker than men but they are not harmless.

I hope she is arrested and punished for her stupid stunt.

[andres]

Well said, NellieMay.

[TonyV]

NJ what was security team doing?

[TonyV]

If it was me I would have got police involved with prosecution but I believe they can do it without consent from assaulted person.

[Jackdaw33]

If he is charged and convicted you will see outrage such as you've never seen before. He's not the villain of the piece; she is.

[TonyV]

Jackdaw he should have never put his hands on her. Technically its classed as assault and could be prosecuted .

[Jackdaw33]

So if a trespasser enters my home I am not allowed to touch him in order to evict him? Have you heard of reasonable force?

[bodeker]

Andy Hughes - will need to disagree , these protesters are no shrinking violets.

[TonyV]

Jackdaw of course you are able to use reasonable force if someone enters your house. but this was a public meeting?

[wolf63]

I thought it was a private dinner. She and her colleagues are thugs.

[Jackdaw33]

No, it wasn't. It was a private function.

"After the shocking video emerged, her husband Peter, originally from Dorset, replied to concerned friends: 'She's ok, she's taking down the government, one Tory at a time.'
Hmmm!

Here’s Kay Burley, on the street, but as she’s a woman it will be ok.

// So if a trespasser enters my home....//
erm
I dont think the MP rich and fat as he is on our expenses, owns the Mansion House as his home
BUT if you say there are rich pickings to be had in London and he does, I will believe you

we have had knives - atom bombs - novichok - killer handbags
so why not I own Mansion House why not indeed ?

[Cloverjo]

The woman posed no threat. She didn’t do or say anything at all. The MP grabbed her by the neck.

[webbo3]

How do you know she didn’t pose a threat, I bet jo Cox thought that.
