Tory bully MP Mark Field shoves a protestor against a pillar then grabs her by her neck

[cupid_stunt]

My MP, Sir Peter Bottomley, was on BBC breakfast news defending him, the twat.

 

[treefrog]

I love the use of "appeared", like he's the David fucking Blaine of common assault

Nothing will happen as a result of this. Proper darkest timeline shit.

BBC coverage of the occurrance.

Greenpeace accuses minister of 'assault'

a comment.

If he's sure that he has done nothing wrong why apologise ? and why refer the cabinet office ?

 

[JimW]

Does he have Truss's support?

Yes, the BBC is saying 'appears to grab'. Are they watching a different video?

No, something will happen. It's already happening.

The political class will invoke a "climate of fear", name-dropping Jo Cox, to justify further sealing themselves off in their bubble and legitimising a violent response to anyone who tries to breach it.

Nah, still obsessing about Cheese somewhere.

It was appalling. He was depending cunt chops on things he'd already admitted to

Oh, the cabinet thing is whitewash squared - he's whitewashing us by demanding that the whitewash inquiry takes place...and, of course, it will completely exonerate him, and that's what the "appeared to grab"/"couldabin armed" smoke-blowing is all designed to set up.

and "don't forget it was a woman who assaulted my wife!"

"She could have been armed"
What absolute bullshit. He was just furious that some shouty underlings had crashed his nice dinner.

 

[eatmorecheese]

He wasnt fearing violence at all. He had a few glasses then snapped in irritation. Mendacious cunt. Doesnt take much to see the mask slip and the childhood prefect/bully emerge, does it? Wanker

 

[StoneRoad]

Oh, I agree, preparing for a whitewash.

[Rivendelboy]

That seems a huge overreaction on his part. Based on the video she didn't seem to be a threat to anyone.

Female prole dares to interrupt macho corporate hegemony. More like her please.

Less like him. Of course now he's downplaying it as an uncharacteristic moment of madness unlike the primal response to a woman challenging male said hegemony.

 

[Rivendelboy]

He's on film assaulting someone. Charges pressed surely?

Definitely...she'll probably get a fine, like the Farage milkshake hero

to be fair if field had been doing some money laundering or running a malaysian betting syndicate which turned off the floodlights at the football when the results weren't going as paid for predicted the city of london police would have been all over him for six months before quietly ending the investigation. as it is he'll be subject to a sort of vague and ineffectual investigation for 6 days before the "investigation" is er quietly ended.

 

[mwgdrwg]

Behind closed doors they'll all be guffawing and patting him on the back. Nothing will happen, his standing will improve in their evil eyes.

not to mention his pushing and his neck-grabbing

I wouldn't actually be surprised if the protester has to him pay compo for hurting his wrist or something.

Another oxbridge Tory since birth type. Another production line nasty arsehole. It’s about the only industry where we lead the world

With, I think, a side order of macho posturing. I guess assaulting a woman is macho if her political views are all wrong..

Attended Reading School. A boy's grammar that essentially provides private school education at the taxpayer's expense.

Then Oxford.

quite fancy a bit of common ruin these days, its a bit one sided atm. When are these people not at banquets, or ascots, or prole hunts.

you've just described 66% of their activity, the other 33% being when they're either asleep or plotting.

That's what Parliament is for.

I hope he gets milkshaked back to the Stone Age next time he shows his face in public.

 

[Dogsauce]

Bottomley’s language is telling. “Causing a fuss”. Something women alone seem able to do. Should have kept her pretty little head out of men’s business.

 

[Funky_monks]

As a sign of the weird times, everywhere I have looked but here (my Facebook etc etc),
People seem to think its "reasonable force" to eject an intruder (apart from my dad, apparently who thinks that he's scum and as such will be the next Tory hero).

Its fucking depressing, really.
