There was no "throat grabbing" as some report, the only grabbing was to the rear of the protesters neck as he bundled her out. Actions have consequences, the protester was in the wrong, and got what she deserved, throw out with very minimal "violence". As to the Field should face charges levied by the snowflakes, get a grip, no one was maimed for life, just a clown who was shown the door. I wonder if any of the flakes taking the protesters side here and "demanding" charges be brought against Field, demanded Prescott should be charged when he did actually assault the egg thrower. He launched a two fisted attack and landed punches on the guy. If I remember correctly, Prescott escaped any kind of a charge, and his actions were10 times worse than Fields ejection of the protester. Angel1. The reality is Field had no right to touch her. You can’t rationalise it by comparing it to Prescott. He’s already apologised so why do you persist in defending him. It’s odd. Very odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to be careful because a more serious incident might occur which needs someone like Mr Field to step in quickly to prevent someone getting seriously hurt. We don't want bystanders to be afraid of stepping in when they think something bad is about to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s on Jeremy hunts website - I’ve just had a look. I’ll wager he won’t be under armed guard. Plenty of MPs - maybe ministers, I don’t know if they always use government vehicles- get gob full of abuse on their way to parliament, they aren’t secure at all. I don't think they had made an 'appointment' to see a government minister, I think they had gate-crashed as a protest. What I am 'on about' is there would seem to have been a lack of security at this event and in the current climate of terrorism I am amazed that armed police were not automatically in attendance at such a high profile event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's ok for a Labour Deputy Prime Minister to actually physically assault a member of the public on camera, but a Conservative member of the Government is not allowed to eject a protester by holding their neck from the rear and helping them outside of the room, and is subject by Labourites that he should be charged with assault. Double standards of the highest order here methinks. Regarding my defending him, simply because he did no wrong in any way. Why he apologised is a mystery to me, he deserved praise not criticism.

Angel1 No I think Prescott was wrong too. I’m saying you can’t use what Prescott did to excuse Field. Big difference. So assaulting females in ok in your world?

She has also got the publicity she wants for her cause. They needed more security and policing in the building, the country seems to be lacking in this department. Believe the telling fact is the protester is not going to seek to report her 'assault' to the police. Hmm? From looking at it, it was as much of an 'assault' as the manhandling of a female BBC correspondent about a week or so ago when she tried to get a few words with Jeremy Corbyn at a political event, when he was walking back to his car & she was shoved out of the way twice by a couple of his minders.

Angel1 Prescott, who I've never liked, was "attacked" albeit with an egg. He reacted to something that actually happened to him rather than what might happen. Quick query, if she was wearing a sash with BREXIT NOW written across it, would your views change? I asked penny but I never got an answer.

But armed guards? No chance. High profile events like that happen all the time without armed police in attendance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinfoilhat Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Then we'd better ban sashes. Failing that, just start grabbing hold of, and if necessary detaining random strangers - just in case. They're everywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
