Mandelson tango'd
 

The Prince of Darkness because a tad more colourful this morning as he was assaulted by a supposed airport protester who threw green liquid over him.

Given Mandy's track record I don't have a great deal of sympathy for the guy but I do wonder about the 'security' which allowed it the attack to happen and then saw the woman in question walk off into the distance apparently without a care in the world.... It appears the liquid was harmless (apart from being an awful shade of green and clashing horribly with Mandy's outfit that is:) ) but of course nobody knew that at the time.....

Hope she gets done for assault and serves 3 months, stupid woman

Re: Mandelson tango'd
 

I'm suprised she wasn't immediately handcuffed under anti-terror laws :rolleyes:

It's wonderful that you can still do this kind of thing in this country :)

Re: Mandelson tango'd
 

Mandy is definately GREEN now :)

Re: Mandelson tango'd
 

Can't condone this sort of thing but it's a pity the dye wasn't indelible..... :D

Re: Mandelson tango'd
 

She's probably been taken into custardy by now :o:

Re: Mandelson tango'd
 

I found it a trifling boring but i should think theres hundreds and thousands would like to do the same :o:

Re: Mandelson tango'd
 

:clap:

Re: Mandelson tango'd
 

Agree they should chop her hands off. :shocked:

Re: Mandelson tango'd
 

Reminds me of when John Prescott got egg'd:

Re: Mandelson tango'd
 

Was that the one where he took a swing at the punter?

Re: Mandelson tango'd
 

as much as I think he is a turd, I dont think it's big or clever to cowardly attack someone like that. it's just a form of bullying when you throw something at someone who isn't expecting it.

Re: Mandelson tango'd
 

Yes.

Re: Mandelson tango'd
 

someone find her as she's going about her daily life and chuck an unknown substance into her face and see how she likes it.

Re: Mandelson tango'd
 

Look at John Prescotts opinions on this one, on his blog.

I dont think these form of attacks, however funny should be thought of as good.
I did laugh at all the comments above though, I am not a complete spoil sport!

If custard, eggs, whatever are thrown, it does not really cause harm, just upset.
However if say, dog poo was thrown, or something equally vile, I bet the people doing the throwing would then be prosectucted.

Re: Mandelson tango'd
 

As serious as this matter could have ended up, is it really only me who finds the sight of a high-level politico getting covered in something thrown by a protester to be extremely satisfying?

Re: Mandelson tango'd
 

saw it on the news this morning lmao should have been manure [dog] preferably

Re: Mandelson tango'd
 

I've no time at all for Mandy (loathe is close) but as funnily slapstick as the incident was you've go to wonder if the silly b*tch is a bit deranged herself.

She said on Sky news

"I don't want to get up early in the morning and throw custard at Peter Mandelson but I don't have a choice because democracy has failed us"

That has got to go down as one of the stupidest statement I've ever read. I often feel that our system of Government and the democratic process is seriously flawed but I don't see that as being my only choice every morning.

I find the message the person is trying to get across is somewhat lost when they themselves are a tad... :disturbd::disturbd::disturbd:

Re: Mandelson tango'd
 

Never happen in this country

Re: Slime ball Mandelson gets slimed!
 

You sure it was custard and not guacamole

Re: Mandelson tango'd
 

mandelson in my opinion is a con artist and should be nowhere near goverment, but where were the gaurds/police? this woman should have been dropped to the floor at the very least. quite shocking.........but also very,very funny!!

Re: Mandelson tango'd
 

i would prefer to empty a bucket of s...e over her,silly cow.

Re: Mandelson tango'd
 

why is it extremely satisfying?

Re: Mandelson tango'd
 

i aggree 100%i couldn't believe that there wasn't a police prescence any terrorists out there will be watching that and thinking how easy is it to get close to high level politicians
on a lighter note i watched it on sky news when they had a split screen with mandy on one side conducting the interview and the custard shot on the other being repeated over and over again couldn't help thinking that if he looked over his right shoulder he would get it in the face again

Re: Mandelson tango'd
 

Because sometimes you get the feeling that, despite their fine words, certain politicians have forgotten that real people have deep feelings on certain issues and don't like it when they appear to be getting ignored.

Eggs/tomatoes/custard can occasionally serve to break through the little glass cubicles these people live in and help them remember that their words and actions have real consequences.

Re: Mandelson tango'd
 

It's a nice thought but I suspect a tad naive. Politicians are so media managed and pre-programmed that eggs, toms, custard and even a boot up the ar$e would are a slight inconvenience and viewed as a media opportunity to feed us again with the bull***** stance that the protester was getting so worked up about in the first place. :shrug:

Re: Mandelson tango'd
 

but throwing an unidentifiable substance in someone's face? that is an act of violence. agressive not assertive behaviour.

I find it extremely unsatisfying that a girl of her age can act in such a dispicable way to another human.

Re: Mandelson tango'd
 

It seems that she has been arrested by the police for this incident and to be honest I'm glad. If the police allowed people to throw things in other peoples faces with no action being taken we'd all be in a worse place.

Re: Mandelson tango'd
 

Yup, she hit her target and i thought she was going to get away with it. The bloke who threw his shoes at Bush missed and got jail.
