Your thoughts?

The wine might have been, but I don't see her drinking any in that short video.

[Zacs-Master]

Alcohol has an effect on ones judgement, Andy. I don't think becoming a Cabinet Minister gives one superpowers to overcome this.

AH,re your post at 14.51
//getting wilder and more bizarre as the thread winds on.//

[Baldric]

// Of course, holding his temper is a different question, and clearly there, he has been found wanting //

To be fair it would appear he was the only one there who was prepared to stand up and be counted.

[Zacs-Master]

If only there'd have been a few ex marines about, eh!

[Jackdaw33]

He is not a cabinet minister.

[agchristie]

//although I would like to think that someone who has reached the office of Cabinet Minister should be able to hold his drink when appearing at a function. //

It depends what is in the cabinet ;-)

[Baldric]

Royal Marines please Zacs.

Jack, from the BBC:-
Mark Field has been suspended as a Foreign Office minister

[spathiphyllum]

HRH Baldric.

[spathiphyllum]

Baldric i bet i could beat u at bridge.

[spathiphyllum]

We of course need a partner each.

[Bazile]

He was just trying to impress the next PM- look at me strong and decisive

Give us a promotion , when you rearrange the chairs

[Jackdaw33]

Yes, danny, but he is a junior minister, not of cabinet rank.

[Baldric]

Probably would spath, never played it, no interest.

[ChillDoubt]

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, Mr Field was not 'robust' in his response, he was violent, and assaulted someone and compounded that assault by frogmarching her out of the room, past security whose job it was to deal with her.

People can - and clearly are - defending his actions as though he was behaving heroically, and in the interests of saving his colleagues, but his body language and facial expression, together with his actions, show something entirely different.

I wonder what your response would have been if she’d been armed(like the nutter who shot Jo Cox) or if she’d suddenly gone ‘Bang’.
You are most insightful, we need you on terror watch, every violent armed incident would be avoided......

[Zacs-Master]

Whatever his 'rank' he's human, and therefore susceptible to the influences of alcohol which I firmly believe may have been a factor.

Ask Delia Smith.

[spathiphyllum]

maybe him and gove got coked up before this meeting, then it made him aggressive?

[Spicerack]

gchristie ///Can you imagine the perverse outcomes of Crown Court cases where verdicts were highly influenced on what could have happened?///

You need to think that through.

Shouldn't have put his hands on her (big brave man attacking a woman), I would have punched his lights out if he'd done that to me.
