Five people arrested after Duncan Smith is assaulted at Tory Party Conference. ......no hecklers there then.

[Mozz71]

As Tora is AWOL, I'll say it: Nasty Left.

[bhg481]

He was assaulted on his way to the conference according to the Daily Mail, so NOT hecklers then.

[davebro]

And he's such a quiet man!

I Blame Brexit.

Makes the Labour Party Conference look a bit tame with just one fat lady Heckling.

> Sir Iain Duncan Smith said he was walking to a meeting in Manchester city centre when a group of people called him "Tory scum" and tried to hit him with a traffic cone.

Where could they have picked up that kind of language, Angela Rayner?

Have you noticed how they always go round in gangs,
safety in numbers.

20.59 Only a traffic cone.

[vulcan42]

A large traffic cone weighs about 5.5 kg ( approx 12 pounds), you can do a lot of damage with a 12 pound hammer.

[youngmafbog]

Yes, a traffic cone usually has a large back of sand in the bottom to stop it blowing away. Also tends to have sharp corners.

Raynor should be hanging her head in shame as it is clearly influenced by her even if she doesn't condone it. But I bet she wont.

08.19 YMB "large bag of sand" yes that just about sums up IDS

[bobbinwales]

Do you approve of attacking him with a cone gulliver? You seem pleased. Dosnt reflect well to me on us anti torys- we need to be making are case against this goverment by a united approach using reasoned arguements not bashing people over the head and using words like scum

//Makes the Labour Party Conference look a bit tame with just one fat lady Heckling.//
Maybe its not occured to you gulliver but these were not fellow party members attacking IDS, they were uninvited people outside whereas the heckler woman was suppose to be a Labour supporter. We need to show unity and support Kier, unfortunately some cant see that and are setting the Labour party back. Time to move on from Corbyn

[douglas9401]

The army experimented with traffic cones years ago and found that as weapons they were next to useless, too easy to detect what with their fluorescent orange and whiteness.

As to the large bag of sand, nonsense, a reach even for the enthralled.

[bobbinwales]

Dont matter to me whether it were a cone or a stick or a brick or just pushing and shoving. Theres no need for it. Maybe it was staged by undercover Tory double agents (like gulliver is IMO) to bring the Tory opponent's into disrepute. What we need is sensible opposition like Kier is not yobbish behavior and silly social media posts

[naomi24]

//What we need is sensible opposition like Kier//

Any party leader who says it's wrong to say that only women have a cervix isn't sensible opposition. The man in the street has no time for that nonsense. Labour, as it is, will never get its act together - and the yobs are doing it no favours either.

Got a link please Naomi to show exactly what he said (the full quote not selected bit of a sentence)? Even so its abit clutching at straws, am sure every Tory has said something which makes them unfit to govern using your example as a benchmark

Thanks danny.

Bobbin, Starmer isn't just a Labourite - he's the leader of the party and, as such, aspiring to become leader of the country. If he wants to appeal to the general electorate paying lip service to the 'Woke' won't cut it. Quite the reverse.

[gulliver1]

IDS is the holder of an HGV Licence Shouldn't he be driving a lorry to help his party out of the biggest ba**s up any Govt has made, since WW2, ..and it ain't finished yet.
