    Normalisation of extreme oafishness seems to be the way forward in today’s Conservative Party.

    Arrested? Really? All he did was escort the protester away from the premises. This has blown completely out of proportion.

    A big burly bloke grabbing a woman by the throat? I know I’m getting on a bit, and values are changing, but is that considered okay now? And for a government minister?

    Did you ever own one of these technological wonders, Chilco? I am surprised that there were so many on the road given British Leyland´s industrial record at the time.

    So we are back to the days of the Rotten Boroughs where a few corrupt Tories in the Shires decide how the country is to be governed and to cap it all they combine it with oafish thuggery.. These really are sorry times. How long before we have the Blackshirts on our streets again?

    Well, the "Conservatives" as long ago as the Thatcherite era were promising to bring back Victorian values. The way the future leader and of course the assault on the woman in the video, are possibly evidence of that. Next they will propose to bring back corporal punishment to our schools, and National Service.

    Never had an Allegro, but I did have a Marina Estate for a year or so, until the big ends went.

    Would you advocate referees escorting players from the pitch, in a similar manner, when red carded?
    Or players manhandling a referee in the same way?

    Yes a hung parliament, with the Lib Dems potentiality being in a position, with similar minded parties to rescind Article 50, something that should be done now.
    Brexit should not be considered, in any form, until such a time as we have a Prime Minister who has been elected by the country and not by what appears to be a white supremacist group.
    97% of Tory members are white, which is scary, and not representative of our multicultural country.

    Enviromentalists are trying to take away kids employment with their climate change agenda - won't be any sooty chimneys for them to climb up if they have their way.

    Err Have I got this wrong.........The lady was a peaceful demonstrator who infiltrated the meeting or whatever. Now she is I grant you roughly treated a bit but escorted out. He is now being sued for assault?? My question would be if that had been a security guy would he be sued for assault. Sorry this saga is not making much sense to me. It doesn't matter that it is a tory meeting it could just as easily been any particular meeting including Farage and co. Sorry can't go along with this..........
