I woke up this morning to news on the Beeb radio that Mark Field had physically accosted a protester and that the footage was “shocking”. I then went online to see this “shocking” footage. Shocking? No.
Now, he probably shouldn’t have grabbed her and he’ll get in trouble and rightly so, I guess.
However, I really fear for public discourse in the Western world. The radio reports made it sound like he’d given her six of the best when really he just stopped her progress then led her out. She’ll be fine. People get roughed up more than that by the police every day. Hysterical reporting does no one any favours.
