    I went to sleep<laugh>. It was late

    To your question...yes she should of. An attack on an MP or someone trying to be an elected MP is clearly an attack on our democracy. I even think that was said by the Judge.

    We do not need another Jo Cox or David Amess.

    This is where the two-tier sloganeering is coming from, because love or hate it, there are examples people can use to demonstrate it. If you consider yourself of the left, and you hate all this right wing piffle, you should want this lady to be treated as others have, in order to quell slogans like "two tier". That or it's just a cheerleading contest.

    I agree, assault is assault and there’s no possible element of self defence or actual provocation.

    The egg thrower John Prescott whacked wasn’t charged, not even arrested.

    That’s how they should be dealt with. Albeit it not quite a social media thing, Mike Tyson said something along the lines of “social media has made everyone too comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the face for it” and it’s true. You see it with little twats having no respect for the police either. Can you imagine a 60/70s policeman standing there while some pillock shoves a camera in his face trying to antagonise him?

    What he got was even better. I'll always remember the self satisfied smile on his face instantly turning to shock.

    I joined the cops in 1995 and even back then it never happened. Or certainly not in my force anyway. To be honest I’d be surprised if it was a common tactic used at all. It might have happened on the odd occasion in the 1950s and 1960s but I’d be surprised if it occurred as much as people believed it did after that.

    These young farmers are often, in my experience, an arrogant bunch who believe no one is tougher than them ...

    ... I bet he was giggling with his mates, before Prescott showed up, saying how he'd put him in his place.

    What made it funnier was how the News at Ten reporter was grinning all the way through his report <laugh>

    We had our end of year budget meeting at work on Tuesday, to discuss what possible CapEx spend we require for the next financial year and how we forecast our labour requirements for Q1 & Q2 of next year. It is the time of year we normally identify which machine we will need to replace or vehicle etc, the chief accountant who is based in Wales at our head office did not even attend for the 1st time ever and basically said all spend is frozen until we determine how much the NMW increase and NI increase will impact our business. We arent the greatest payers for unskilled workers but have always kept our employees above the NMW by around at least 0.50 per hour. It looks like we wont be doing that next year, I think we were well covered for the NMW increase but the NI increase has squeezed us too much, worrying times ahead for us.
