Got some wife beaters in here, clearly.

She wasn't a suicide bomber or a terrorist. She was asserting her democratic right to protest.

If someone gatecrashed an event at your home or place of work, are you just going to let them because that's their democratic right?

Probably not, ditto to who the politicians are and who the protest group is etc...

I suspect if it were a female MP throwing out say a fathers for justice protestor after a bunch of them came in dressed as super heroes etc... and generally being ****s then she’d be called “brave” etc...

the female mp might have shown some common sense and not gone in like that to start with...

She's probably lucky it wasnt John Prescott, he's not the most calm of people when it comes to protests

We've already established that John Prescott was attacked first and reacted so not the same.

Given that Chucker Amooner is saying it was "totally unacceptable", it was probably 100% the right thing to do.

there were plenty of women present, they didn't look at all scared or that bothered.

I understand its not the same but my sentence was that he's not the most calm of people when it comes to protests, which imo still stands as a valid sentence. There are many ways to react to a situation, with varying degrees of calm dependent upon the situation, his was not on the scale of most calm thus I think my sentence is fine.

patently it isn't, there is no evidence John Prescott or indeed anyone else would have reacted at all.

In fact he may have been sympathetic.

Actually thinking about it there is no way any normal person let alone a minister would ever treat someone in those circumstances like that it was disgraceful.

Then we will have to agree to disagree on what "most calm" is defined as.

fair enough, I agree he was not particularly calm in the circumstances.

And why pray tell would you have torn into that unmercifully?

Because it said “beyond the pail”, and not beyond the pale, but I
couldn’t be sure if it was a deliberate pun or not, so I said nothing,
no good playing the amateur Nazi, and getting egg on your face.

Walking past...! Seriously. They burst into a private event, they knew exactly what they were doing. They should thank this minister who marched her out, its given their cause so much more airtime.

No, not particularly. On the plus side, it was a very good left jab, thrown with a speed belying a person of his physical stature

Nah they really didn't. Clearly a calm protest and some coward thought he'd pick on a woman. Like ive said, if that was a 6ft bloke he wouldn't have gone anywhere near him.

She wasn't a suicide bomber or a terrorist. She was asserting her democratic right to protest.

and he was asserting his democratic right to remove her.
