While not excusing the gate crasher , the way he manhandled her, he  seemed to have the  attituded, how dare theses plebs disturb me and my slimy cronies taxpayer funded p**s up. I wonder if  he would have been as brave, had the intruder been a big hairy arsed bloke, I doubt it,

I have unsubscribed from Greenpeace emails.  That is no way to behave.

Quite right, and there should have been security staff to stop her getting in because, in present times, there's no knowing what nutters like this woman are going to do.

In the USA she'd have been 3ft off the floor as she was being taken to the nearest jail.

Fault can be shared 3 ways IMO.
She should not have been there. ::)
Security should have been there. ???
He should not have acted the way he did.  >:(

He had no idea what her intentions were & as such, in accordance with the law, he was entitled to take what he regarded as appropriate & reasonable measures.

The nutty woman got off lightly.

Suppose she had been carrying a knife - and how can you tell she isn't until it is too late and you are leaking blood all over the place - then what? If it had been a big hairy bloke even more reason to retaliate first.

Exactly.

The very way that she came striding down the room was evidence that she was a potential threat.

He took proportionate action based on an assumption that she was a threat to life. End of.


It's a pity that more don't take responsibility for the welfare of others.



Way back in the mid 90's minding my own business walking in South East London, I became aware that the public were running everywhere. Turned a corner to see two guys with balaclavas trying to rob a guy. No one bothering to help or intervene. I piled in an attempt to get the pistol out of one of  the robbers hand only to receive a baseball bat across the back of my head. Lying on the pavement the one holding the pistol stood over me and put two bullets in me. Stupid fellow who was shaking so much missed the vital organs and only managed one in my leg and the other in the upper arm. They ran off minus what they had hoped to steal.

Would I do it again - yes even at 70. If someone needs help or is in distress we all have a duty to intervene.

I think he was wrong to apologise, that suggests he thinks he was in the wrong.

I agree. He should not have apologised because he was not in the wrong. Probably told to by the appeaser.

I think Boris should make Mr Field minister of defence. The really good news about this affair is that nobody has a clue what Hammond was spouting about.

Remember Stephen Timms ?  He survived an attack by a woman who approached him at his constituency surgery. She was convicted of attempted murder and sentenced to life imprisonment, he was lucky to survive..Mark Field did the right thing, but would there have been such a hoo ha if a security guard had removed this woman ?  I doubt it.
