This nation is a complete joke these days

I couldn’t and can’t protect myself against an armed intruder in my own home without being charged so why can those who made the laws not live under it?

[micklyons]

I've seen the full CCTV footage. He suckered punched an innocent man with his hands in his pockets. This MP is as guilty as can be.

[rvcbuk]

This conduct fails to meet the professional standards expected of Members of Parliament.

[HunkyEyes]

Not only is that not the actions, mannerisms, or behaviour of someone who apparently felt “threatened“, but the fact that he repeatedly touted and referred to himself as “the MP” would indicate that he’s throwing his weight around.

[GYTZ]

Proof positive that few MPs could every hold down a professional job, no wonder they don't understand the country.

[S-North]

The absolute clown show that is the Labour Party.

[Sneggers]

He'll get away with it just like ricky jones

[patdennison]

He should be sacked!

MP acting in such a way, just shows what Calibre of people that Party is.

[Jacksmam]

Will he face 3 years in prison? Doubt it.

[JohnHaveaguessGoogle]

[williamwallace]

I hate it when they only show a snippet of the entire altercation. Context matters.

[Karen-Rainey]

I wonder if there's a cell free for him?
