    There's later footage of this guy, allegedly the Tory leader on The London Assembly, being manhandled OUTSIDE of the Conference Centre by private security and a Police Inspector!
    Not sure what powers they would be relying on to do that...

    Bloody hell, how quick were they to appear!! Had to watch again, literally 1 second.

    Has there been some Third Reich nuremburg rally style briefing to the security and police to be ready to pounce at any sign of disagreement?

    To be fair, I remember at a Labour conference a few years ago they kicked out some old timer. I think he was slating the Iraq War or something I forget.

    Although he was going for a good 10 mins before they did <laugh>

    Kicking people out for heckling is bollox tbph.

    If you've been following the issues that Steve 'Mr Brexit' Bray has been having this week with GMP then I think it's clear that there is a clear brief been given to officers to shut down any form of protest, however passive it is.
    I was hoping for Andy Burnham to have weighed in by now, but he's kept schtum <doh>

    Yes, I remember that too. And as I recall it did some damage to the Labour Government at the time. But as you say, it was after several minutes, not after 10 seconds of mumbles!

    I think Burnham staying quiet is deliberate. Andy Street has publicly asked for Sunak to meet with all the mayors and private industry investors.

    Imo the mayors have collectively agreed for Street to be the public voice, because he's Conservative. If Burnham speaks up he's an easy target and an excuse for Sunak to blank it and alleviate the pressure on himself.

    Tbf the mayors regardless of the colour on their ribbon are united on this HS2.

    I was actually referring to Burnham's specific role as PCCC for GMP and their overbearing policing at the Conference, not the HS2 issue.
    But he may well be trying not to cloud that issue. :emoticon-0166-cake:

    They were waiting for him to say something.
    That guy from the left touches his arm before he's finished the sentence.
    They already expected him to speak up on this issue.

    This lot don't care how it looks or what anyone thinks.

    They are so fully signed up to this deranged dogma they can no longer see right from wrong.

    The mentality of fascists.

    Interesting phrase that, turning point, what with that mainly being associated with GorillaBelch News (currently suspended) presenters camping outside a pub in Honor Oak spreading fear about the gay community...

    Remember when Rishi-Washy said his wife was off-limits and we should not talk about her tax affair (and lack thereof)?
