They're trying to do a U.S style shut down of the government.

I think if remainers can call brexiteers racist's and nazi's it must just be part of that old free speech chestnut, don't hear much condemnation when Boris/ JRM/nigel farage etc are on the receiving end.

I don't think you should all people Nazis (unless they actually are, i.e white supremacists) and I don't call everyone racist.

But the objection is less calling her a Nazi and more the way they surrounded her and harassed her in the street. A group of angry people surrounding someone whilst hurling abuse carries an undertone of violence to it. If this happened to anyone in a public setting you hope the police would step in and disperse the group. Given the fact she is also an MP and that carries additional security concerns then it's even worse.

The clever part is that there has been an good reading of the Tommy Robinson Playbook and these people shouting at MPs are acting within the law but only just. They are asking for a rise from the people they shout at and/or the police to become martyrs.

I have enough respect for politicians and others of all flavours for keeping calm but not running away either.

BTW, here's some further footage of the hassle Anna Soubry got after her BBC interview - https://twitter.com/Femi_Sorry/statu...06981828968448 Lovely people...

No i don't agree, i have become desensitised to name calling ever since the referendum,i am assured it is just freedom of speech and we don't want to impede that freedom do we.

This type of confrontation has just become part of the job, I've seen worse press scrums.

Re: Brexit

Freedom to spread poison, hate and threats.

Is that what we fought and died for in the two World Wars?

Who is this we?

YOU didn't fight, our ancestors did.

And yes they fought for such freedoms to express themselves, as long as what is being expressed is perfectly legal.

But give this argument a rest FFS.

You drone on and on over the same thing.

Brexit has encouraged hate/abuse I'm afraid. It's a worrying trend that these people think they can get away with it.

So you were aware of the terms of the exit deal that the UK/EU would negotiate too?

Perhaps he realised it was a joke (albeit in bad taste, apologies), rather than an actual threat?

I have no sympathy for Anna Soubry, she is a liar who was elected and stood on a manifesto honouring the Brexit result. She deserves all she gets, people are bloody angry out there and rightfully so - it will only manifest itself to greater levels if Brexit is halted by democracy abusers.
My outage is not fake I assure you. You may not have a problem with thugs intimidating MP's but I do ..
