I wonder who the architect might be behind this process of choosing the next Tory MP? Could it be the master of the Dark Arts, JRM himself, setting Johnson up for the most almighty fall within months? After all, we are due a PM who lasts less than a year in the job. I give him 200 days máximum.
Has anyone pointed out to Annunziata Rees-Mogg that choosing zatzi as her Twitter handle was not a bright idea?
I found out the other day that Trojan records were named after the Trojan lorry that Duke Reid had built his sound system on and those trucks were built in CROYDON ......... over to you HBC
Has anyone pointed out to her that taking covert cameras into the European Parliament building breaches security and will get you expelled? Yes..... Apparently EP security have expelled the Brexit MEPs...
His sound system ( "the Trojan sound" ) was named after the type of truck he used. The record label was named in homage to his sound system.
Remember all the faux outrage about somebody chucking a milkshake at Nigel Farage being the worst kind of assault involving a politician? ...of course, the BBC describe this as "removing a protestor" while Julia Halfwit-Brewer is making jokes a few weeks after bawling about throwing milkshakes at Nigel Farage should be classified as assault, noted Dubai resident Jim Davidson is wittering about sexism and using female assassins, and fellow Tory MP Peter Bottomley says that Field should be congratulated for going full Fraser Anning
If she had been a man she would have been evicted in the same manner. Their was no unnecessary force used. That's equality. Some snowflakes need to grow up. In this day and age she could have had a concealed weapon. Well done Mark Field I say. Protest outside by all means, but put your self in a position like that you should understand that you will be evicted.
If he thought that she was a threat, then he wouldn't have gone anywhere near her. Peter Walker's got this one right:
The main problem with the "I thought they had a weapon" defence is that it has all kind of connotations, mainly because it's a defence that is most often used by white people after they've shot an unarmed black person - with the shootings of Michael Brown, Eric Garner and Trayvon Martin being the obvious examples of this, although it's not limited just the US given the Metropolitan Police have used the exact same defence for the shootings of Jean Charles de Menezes and Mark Duggan Worse than that, though, is various Tory supporters (and at least one MP, namely Nadine Dorries) who have started bringing up Jo Cox's name in relation to this story to try and justify the use of the "I thought they had a weapon" defence, even though they've spent the past three years pretending she wasn't murdered by a member of Britain First because as we all know the left are intolerant and cannot debate while the right definitely don't do things such as stab MPs on the street, plot to decapitate an MP with a machete, or drive a car into a group of left-wing protesters More than anything else, though, Field using this defence in the first place is complete bollocks: the group identified themselves as Greenpeace protesters when they entered the building, so anyone trying to claim they thought Janet Barker had a weapon or was wearing a suicide vest (oh yes, there are people dumb enough to say that ****e out there) is either delusional, stupid, or merely a lying **** because everyone knows that all Greenpeace ever do is grandstand for the cameras until the police arrive at which point they grandstand a little longer until they bugger off
And if he'd have ignored her a little longer, then it all would've gone away. Greenpeace couldn't be happier with him acting the twat, then playing the victim.
In other dodgy Tory MP news... Somebody probably should have explained to Arron Banks' mob that it isn't a smart thing to tweet about how a Leave-supporting MP (and ERG member) of a Leave-supporting constituency has been fiddling his expenses, considering how often the words "dodgy" and "funding" come up in connection with Banks and his mates
He assaulted her. No its or buts. If Field was working class, he'd have already been arrested and charged and the Twitter gobshiterati would've condemning his attitude and treatment of a woman.
Of course, one BBC employee somehow managed to turn this into an attack on Labour ...I have to be a bit more specific, don't I?
You're wrong, DD - both technically (legal) and ethically. Field could and should have just blocked her path without laying hands on her. And if 'snowflake' is to be banded about, then let's not forget the outrage at milkshakes and jokes.....
