What are people's opinions on this? Try to be impartial, he probably has extreme opinions, but should people be able to protest around politicians in the street? Sensible policing or slippery slope? as i said earlier, once you move from peacefully protesting, with placards, signs, shouting etc, and move into hounding, harassing, intimidating and shouting insults in peoples faces you move into public order offence territory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's absolutely ridiculous someone should be arrested so many days after the incident. At the time of the incident there were Policemen present who could have arrested anyone present, who they judged to be committing a crime. I am not supporting the yobs who harassed Anna Soubry, but if they had broken the law then they should have been arrested at the time when Policemen were present who witnessed their behaviour. I am more concerned about home owners who have been burgled in the last week and who haven't received a Police visit than Anne Soubry who wasn't physically assaulted.

The police probably didn’t have enough officers on the spot at the time to safely detain Goddard without causing a mini riot. Perfectly acceptable to arrest him later if he is suspected of an offence. 1 hour ago, woodview said: The guys who was part of the 'angry mob ' has now been arrested on public order offences and released on bail.

We need to know more about what he was arrested for. He technically may have done nothing wrong. Let’s wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister M Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I was listening to the radio shortly after the incident with Anna Soubry, & the Chief police officer interviewed said that many police were feeling reticent to involve themselves in low level incidents that were politically based.

You genuinely think there aren't going to be sufficient officers around parliament, the UK's biggest terrorist target, to arrest a middle aged bloke? Right, sure.

jaffa1 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) Why didn't they arrest the old man who spoke aggressively to Jacob Rees-Mogg's children. Was it because he didn't make a big thing about it and took the kids home and closed the door. Anna Soubry looked to me as though she was loving all the attention .

Right, sure. Yes quite possibly that is the case. When the bridge attack happened one copper put himself in the way and died doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
