Careless Red Tories

Whatever the provocation? Really? Looks bad I agree, but there’s no footage of what preceded Amesbury’s probable/possible first punch.
In a previous incident Ben Stokes’ behaviour looked dreadful…then the truth came out and told a very different story.
Starmer has done all he can…for now. He’s suspended Amesbury subject to further investigation. Such investigation will be conducted by the police, not Starmer, and rightly so. It happened on Saturday and the guy had been suspended by Monday morning. What more can you expect at this stage?
If it proves to be an entirely unjustified attack I imagine Amesbury’s political career will be finished and he’ll probably go to prison…again rightly so.
Time for you and Andy to control your excitement and wait a while until the matter has been dealt with by the police/courts.

I’m not excited rA, although I think Tricky has a point about relative severity of and speed of sentencing in other cases in recent months but as you say, in this case we’ll see.

However, never condone the application of a sucker punch, I won’t attach any links to vids but it’s a cowards way out of a situation and potentially lethal

Well you seemed to be, in your haste, this morning. Seemed to be more like the TTR ‘school of posting’, after all you are, allegedly, opposed to such posts.
As I say…wait and see. The case is already confused by the fact that this MP would appear to have been being stalked by another similarly aged man for some time.
‘Curiouser and curiouser’…doubtless it’ll all ‘come out in the wash’ and he’ll suffer the consequences or be exonerated.

We seem to have gone full circle. Now I post a thread identifying a chink in the armour of HMG (post #1) of which lets face it there were dozens, maybe hundreds during the Conservative period in office, and your response starts with a personal attack on the OP (in this case me) (post #5)

‘Personal attack’? What rot and it’s not a ‘chink in anyone’s armour’ either.

It’s a thoroughly unsavoury incident that there may or may not be more to which now needs police investigation.

You and Tricky seem to have got your respective knickers in a twist over it and it just amused me that you of all people, who is so opposed to contentious political threads on here, should apparently be falling over yourself to post one, complete with link, this morning.

As I said…seems much more of a typical TTR tactic than something you’d usually do, and you can’t have it both ways, but… ‘personal attack’…total tosh.

Where as you would normally take a Guardian stance and ignore/sweep it under the carpet. Yet had it been a Tory MP, you'd have been frothing at the mouth and demanding a public execution. QED
