Green custard..........
Simple question. Do you agree that the girl who threw green custard in the face of Mandleson was:-
1. Right to do it.
2. Has the 'right' to do it.
3. Should just be allowed to walk away.
4. Do it to anyone she wants.
My point here is this. Regardless of the rights or wrongs of this incident, should we think it is acceptable? Think of your favourite pop star, favourite Royal, best friend, Grandmother, daughter or senior citizen or whatever - is it ok to throw slime in their faces?
In principle I think it is not on. Love him or loathe him that is degrading. Remember think of someone you admire and maybe others do not. That's the point.

This is not a pop at you Paul but on the topic itself in the news....
In light of recent news and atrocities this is just to trivial in comparison.
In laymans term, I couldnt care less about the green custard. Its hardly important and in all honesty do the reporters think we really care? I surely dont.

Just trying to weigh this up ...
Person 1
Given public office on an "anti sleaze" ticket
Leaves in disgrace after appalling financial irregularities
Somehow get back to public office
Makes a stack of cash
Leaves again after further financial disgrace is exposed
Gets a peerage from his old bum chum (why ???)
Gets back into office yet again
Lets chum down again, and resigns again
And then ...
Comes back like a proverbial sodding phoenix ...
... big salary, etc, and lo and behold ...
... is recently linked with even more financial irregularities.
Person 2
Throws some custard (messy, but harmless) at him
Erm ...
Who is the bad guy ?

He may all those JJ things but it's still no excuse for someone to behave in this fashion .It's a matter of public order.
Next thing you know every little tyke will jump on the bandwagon and think it's perfectly acceptable to behave like this .
"Oh .... my neighbour is a pain in the butt I'll go and bombard him with custard " ...where do you draw the line ?
We live in a democracy and things should be argued by debate not custard throwing .
Can you imagine GB and DC throwing custard pies at each other across the House of Commons .
It was a childish and silly thing to do and she should be reprimanded .

Simple question. Do you agree that the girl who threw green custard in the face of Mandleson was:-
1. Right to do it. -PERSONALLY I WOULD'VE WENT WITH PURPLE SEMOLINA INSTEAD.
2. Has the 'right' to do it. -MAYBE SHE JUST WANTED TO BRIGHTEN UP HIS BORING SUIT?
3. Should just be allowed to walk away. I WOULD'VE BEEN MORE HAPPY IF SHE WAS CHASED OFF BY THE KEYSTONE COPS WITH "BENNY HILL" MUSIC PLAYING!
4. Do it to anyone she wants. -YES IF SHE GETS A JOB AS A CIRCUS CLOWN!
