Why didn’t she answer their questions. They simply exposed her for what she is. Fake. And the booing was so childish and ignorant.

A true leader would have answered the question, however unpopular the answer, (she had a captive pro-tory audience, what did she think the response would have been?) and to hear ANY crowd applaud the suppression of free speech should worry us all, whatever our political colour.

Heckling is a very strong word choice, they just held up a sign.

If this exact scenario happened in China, the comments would be flooded with remarks calling Xi and the audience fascists

[vladimirbeenputin]

Imagine thinking any politician is different from one another. They all tell you want you want to hear then they do what they want and nothing changes. And people EAT IT UP 😂

Good lord!
A bunch of clapping trained seals.

They should sit down & shut up, we need growth & more money!! Nobody cares about biodiversity, fresh air or a future for our kids. Do they?

[stephenroche]

They clapped truss more when she stopped speaking.

[Standardgrinching]

Any the question !!! If this isn’t feminazi I don’t know what it.

Freedom of speech being suppressed shouldn’t be a scene that should be applauded

[timmylittle]

Everyones speeches should be interrupted like this.

[Vectorohyeah]

Did anyone else see the guys that popped up from the crowd at the end??💀

[MrJDuro]

The leaders of our world are getting worse.

British children in elementary school cant afford luch eat rubber eraser accross the island 😩

[MSPUKIMOLIELIE]

Those people can get very disgusting and NOISY.

[FingersHS]

I see all these comments and yes everybody should have a voice but there is always a time and place for verbal discourse and disrupting somebody's speech is just as wrong as them not letting you speak at an appropriate time. The protesters were definitely in the wrong, but I do believe they could have requested time to speak and if they were outright denied then that would have been fascism. Acting like a child and then being punished? Seems appropriate.

Another margaret thatcher. That will fail
