At the moment it's all allegations. Until any potential criminal case in concluded it's a bit early to talk about removing anyone from office.

Indeedy.

As it's commonly assumed on here when someone Tory does something percieved to be wrong that 'all Tories are the same', I assume you will all now assume that all Labour MPs are thugs who use their fists (or in this case forehead) to do their talking for them? Especially given that the reds have got form - remember John Prescott's shameful assault on that poor farmer?

Of course not - we're all rational human beings here.

On a serious note, it's a shameful story though, that someone of his age and position - of ANY party - should have to resort to this type of behaviour. He ought to be removed from office immediately.

And yes, I'd say it of ANY MP.

Let me guess.
You didn't stop for any red light on the way home trying get to your computer after hearing this news.
Sound about right?

While violence should never be condoned, I can imagine being in a 'discussion' with a Tory could lead to tempers becoming frayed, especially if its the type of Tory who has Daily Mail-style views and a Daily Mail style of putting those views across....

I look forward to you expressing equal outrage whenever any other convicted criminal gets the nut dropped on him in a boozer

Shameful, utterely shameful. How much lower can this lot sink? Anyone who voted for them is evil, pure evil.

I wish everyone would just stop voting Labour, Lib Dem & Tory full stop, sod them all off.

If you're a leftie vote for Caroline Lucas and if you're a right one vote Farage, just for once so that the big 3 have to work harder (and for the people) next time around.

I do hope Robinson never has to defend his use of the word 'thug' in the headline to this thread.

Couldn't he have stuck one on Clegg whilst he was at it?
