MPs beating people up.

[SpookyFrank]

Does emotional violence count? As far as I know Priti Patel has never been accused of physically assualting someone, but she was found to be a bully.

So was Raab IIRC.

 

[stavros]

So was Raab IIRC.

And Williamson, now I remember it.

Gordon Brown infamously had a temper.

 

[brogdale]

Surely none of this should be a surprise; they are, after all, a self-selecting cohort of individuals who believe they should govern their fellow citizens.

 

[Dogsauce]

Doesn’t look like self defence, but there isn’t much shown of the run-up to it. Keeps going when he’s on the floor too.

The Mail seem pretty sure the victim is a ‘constituent’, how do they know this, possibly some previous history?

 

[Chilli.s]

Punches a man who has his hands in pockets. Thats assault not self defence

 

[PR1Berske]

He's had the whip suspended. I'd be looking at a by-election in the leafy suburbs of Runcorn and Helsby if I were you him.

 

[PR1Berske]

Thought strike through markup worked

 

[PR1Berske]

Sorted it

or be nominated for chief whip he'd keep them in line.

 

[brogdale]

Not a people, but poor Rinka.

 

[tim]

Not a people, but poor Rinka.

Woof woof!

 

[PTK]

And Williamson, now I remember it.

Gordon Brown infamously had a temper.

Gordon Brown had a temper? He should be locked up for life.

 

[Wilf]

Gordon Brown had a temper? He should be locked up for life.

Well, that and bombing the Iraqi people.

 

[tim]

Well, that and bombing the Iraqi people.

Brown didn't agree with the Iraq war. He only went along with it because he wanted to succeed Blair as leader.

 

[Wilf]

Why must there be many cases of MPs assaulting people?

There are 425 male MPs. That's a fair bit of DV for a kick off.

 

[Wilf]

Brown didn't agree with the Iraq war. He only went along with it because he wanted to succeed Blair as leader.

Poor lamb.

 

[PTK]

Brown didn't agree with the Iraq war. He only went along with it because he wanted to succeed Blair as leader.

What is your evidence that Brown did not agree with the Iraq War?
If someone supplied the gun used in a murder, can we say that they did not agree with the murder?

 

[BigMoaner]

There was that UKIP MEP who sparked out another UKIP MEP...

Yeh, Terry, you’re not so fucking mouthy now are ya, ya cunt

 

[Humberto]

If you clocked an MP you'd be infamous.

Informed sources the press called them at the time. Brown went along with a war that he thought was unjustified because not doing so would have threated his own political ambitions.

 

[Wilf]

Eric Joyce - former Labour MP for Falkirk - had more than a few scuffles in Westminster bars and is the one you are thinking of I reckon

Also a drink driver and a nonce

And topped the Parliamentary expenses list the year before the story broke. Renaissance man, eh?

 

[Wilf]

Back to Amesbury, fair play to the women who dragged him off.

 

[Wilf]

Informed sources the press called them at the time. Brown went along with a war that he thought was unjustified because not doing so would have threated his own political ambitions.

Which is worse, far worse, than voting for it because you thought it justifiable and/or necessary. It's not even cowardice, it's mass murder in the cause of self interest.

 

[PTK]

I don't recall any such "informed sources" saying that.

 

[JimW]

Denis Healey shot several men dead in Italy.

 

[Humberto]

Denis Healey shot several men dead in Italy.

Presumably not as an MP.

 

[Humberto]

If it was the MP's scope for violence thread we could have Boris Johnson cracking ribs.

 

[Wilf]

Denis Healey shot several men dead in Italy.

Major crimes if I remember.

 

[JimW]

Presumably not as an MP.

D-Day Dodger.

 

[Humberto]

D-Day Dodger.

Smart chap.
