Sick, older lady is handed a P45 during a public speech at work!

To be honest, this media story has done more for May than a lot of her own campaigning. It has made her seem human and vunerable, as well as draw attention to a speech that said very little and was barely noteworthy.
 
Absolutely disgraceful that he was arrested for a prank like that, totally non violent and non threatening, the pigs just used any excuse to lock him up because he embarrassed the prime minister. :rolleyes: The police force are shameful. :(
 
I think being detained for half hour just to finish up the speech without chancing a second interruption is common sense. What he did was a ploy for attention and a publicity stunt, if he felt he didn't nail it then there is every chance he would have tried something else.
 
Well I'd say he was guilty of being extremely unfunny, at least :p

Heckling is so lame... even if it's to TM (whom I don't like).

Have a quiet word with yourself, prank? non threatening? the prat achieved one thing he wanted, I'd never heard of him before this, now I have, and if I could remember his name, I'd try and never see him again.
He also achieved something else, he exposed a yawning gap in the P.M.s security detail.
Oh, and the PIGS?, really, the PIGS?, 1961 called, they want their word back, perhaps you should have used fuzz, or got really down the kids, and tried Five O.
I agree that the police force are shameful, they should never have let him get that close to Mrs. May, or to any leading politician, of any stripe.
They should be writing traffic tickets on the Outer Hebrides after this.

you should have a quiet word with yourself instead mate before you trigger yourself again. The security detail worked fine. The security on the outside is where it counts and he was a badged attendee so went through all the necessary checks and clearances. There was zero chance he could pull a knife,gun, bomb on May in that speech because of the level of the security outside in the first place that meant he would have never made it through the first cordon

You’re crazy if you think security “worked fine”. He got within touching distance of the PM and pratted around for quite some time before being sheepishly ushered away. He could quite easily have physically attacked the PM. You don’t need a weapon to cause harm/kill.

Again another triggered person. Of course it worked fine, he handed her a piece of paper, so unless he can build firearms and explosives from paper, then security worked fine. They don't hand passes out willy nilly to political party conferences so he would have been fully vetted before he got that pass you can see slung around his neck.

Wow so many triggered people in here today
 
They did work fine. She was under no threat. All these ifs and buts are ridiculous.

He got within throwing distance of Trump on his golf prank and threw golf balls to land near him. Hell, even Boris wasn't alarmed when he turned to him and looked to give him the thumbs up before doing it. For all security knew, this was nothing to get excited about.

Agreed, didn't seem very tight, irrespective of whatever vetting procedures existed.

I think we’ll have to agree to disagree.

I’d have agreed with you if he was quickly and efficiently removed but the fact was he wasn’t.

So they vetted the guy known for causing a scene at press conferences and decided he'd be ok to let in... Right :p

She could just do a Corbyn and refuse to go if her cabinet leaves on mass - that's seemed to work for him at least

I will admit that despite not being a fan of Corbyn, he commands a certain support from areas of the public that no other upper labour politician has and him stepping down would likely result in this support going to another party. While TM doesn't have even a small fan-base.

I jest..... yes not quite the same situation for her. You are right though, the church of Corbyn isn't much without the illustrious leader

Don't sell her short, it's true that under Corbyn Labour got the most votes it has received since 1997, however under May the Tories got the most they had achieved since 1992. The reason the Tories lost seats in the snap election was because Labour had increased in popularity so much under Corbyn, not because they had decreased in popularity under May (who had improved on Cameron's results).
