Mike Amesbury, far right thug...

It's not acceptable at all.

This guy is an MP. He has to be judged by a different standard to the average.
He didn't just defend himself. In the video, he looked drunk and was the aggressor. Any provocation is rather beside the point.

Quoting the BBS? Are you serious?

I kind of agree with both of you.

It isn't acceptable but depending upon the full story it might be understandable.

It doesn't matter. This is not self defence. He is laying into the bloke on the floor for Christ sake.

People have been jailed for hurty words.

It certainly isn't something an MP should be involving themselves with.

If the stalking thing is true.....and we all know the left's habit of over egging definitions to justify their actions....while giving no leeway to their opposite.....but if this guy genuinely is a nut job.....then I can understand it.

However, we can't have this from MPs and yes you are right, it wasn't self defence.

I never had a problem with Prescott punching someone for hitting him with an egg because he didn't instigate the action. But this was just violence directed onto the individual.

If he was threatened, he could have called the cops. He is an MP. They would have been there in no time.

I smell a Labour attempt to warp perceptions.

It'll be interesting to see what happens.

I don't think that his own team think he will have a job by the end of the week.

Apparently Trump can.

Yeah, but this guy can't be found guilty of being Donald Trump.

This could be a real crime.

Well, we know that if this had been a right wing MP that would certainly be the case.

However, as we know the left are all about rewarding their friends and/or going softer on them and punishing their enemies.

In less polarized times I would support a more objective standard but as it stands I think the right should start doing the same across the board.....For far too long the right has been bending over backwards trying to please people who hold them in contempt.
