Anna Soubry

AS is on film calling leave voters fascists and racists, is this what we expect of our MP’s.

It is certainly not how I expect a public servant to act.

Yvette knew she was up against momentum , she is doing more from the back benches than the shower on the front bench, as is Hilary Benn.

Suzied Jeremy Corbyn has to follow the decision made at conference to respect the result.
Yvette Cooper doesn't have to do that, not being in cabinet, but she is choosing to go against both the members and her constituents.
I started out supporting her during the leadership contest but she seemed to shrink as it went on and by the end she just seemed like an empty vessel.

As did I too, suzied.

Well Jeremy Corbyn's constituents voted solidly to remain ....

Not at all and that is nothing like what I said. Are you typical of those that distort what a person says in an attempt to paint them in the colours you do not like? To me that seems to describe you exactly. By the way....that is an Anna Soubry tactic. Ask her about the derogatry comments she makes about her own constituents.

Anna Soubry along with other MP’s such as Yvette Cooper are railroading the voters in their constituencies. In YC’s case, the good people of West Yorkshire voted an overwhelming 70% to Leave. Nothing has deterred her from her ‘I know what’s best for you all’ - no wonder Leavers are finding this whole bloody process so frustrating!
I mean, why should the democratic representative for Broxtowe (Anna Soubry) pay any heed to the noisome, pesky 54.6% of her constituents who were estimated to have voted Leave and were therefore under the impression that their side had prevailed on June 23 2016?

Should the police watch as a woman is surrounded by a ranting group , it they had stood to the side and heckled I can understand them not stepping in, but this was different, they surrounded her.

I know the police didn't " do their job " on this occasion, but sad to say their hands are tied. Damned if they do and damned if they don't.
The democratic rights of the public plays a big part in any protest and providing it doesn't get out of hand and violent the police will stand back to allow protests to continue and run their course.

If the police had intervened it would have shown or appeared as being biased towards the politician or the cause so naturally they're going to take a back seat unless physical violence had been apparent. Any show of force by the police wouldn't have been advisable among such a volatile group. Violence begets violence.

We've seen police tactics in the past where tasers and extreme violence towards an offender has been used particularly when the arrested has been suffering from an illness or mental health and the public have been up in arms, hence their restraint when only verbal abuse is used.

Possibly there were to afraid to step out through the door, they seemed not to be dressed for the streets.

I can understand the police's reluctance to step in. They may be accused by some of being used as establishment puppets to silence dissent.

I think it is perfectly acceptable to protest, but the behaviour of these men was not only extremely boorish but, in my view, could easily be perceived as threatening.
Several large men surrounding a lone woman - or man - and shouting in her/his face would certainly feel very threatening to me. Threatening behaviour is, as I understand it, unlawful, but it might be a bit tricky to nail down.

The police officers just stood by and watched

Unlike the Acting Met Chief Commissioner who hid during the Westminster Terror Attack.

I have stood and watched a young PC who was heckled, abused and jostled in my town centre by a group of teenaged girls. He just took it. In my youth, we'd have been arrested and charged!

I don't think we have a police force to be proud of as in days past.

What a pointless post moggie.
Does it mean you ignore all political opinions and so don't vote?
Or do you disregard all information and vote anyway?

When the police officer was murdered at Westminster many of us critcised the senior police officer who sat in his car. Yesterday we saw police offices standing in a doorway watching a woman being verbally abused and blocking her right of way to her place of work.

Well thank you for that insightful comment moggie you may hold the lot of them in (justifiable) contempt, but they do hold our future and that of our children and grandchildren in their hands.
I don’t see how anybody could have missed what has been happening outside parliament over the last 36 hours and the behaviour (lack of response) of or “wonderful” police force.

who? i dont really bother with the media/press. i got better things to do than listen to that lot. a friend who sadly not here now. said "imagine them naked" lol......some mps got no feelings anyway. its them looking down to the likes of us. and for that i dont give a monkeys ???

mxdecatt it wasn’t an instruction. Get your facts right.
Those thugs aren’t just saying things “she doesn’t like” they are threatening - death threats, rape threats , sounds like you approve of that.

I'm rather karenGalaxy

Are you saying that these so-called Brexiteer thugs should have taken action rather than shouting at Anna Soubry?

I don't understand your post, sorry.

What is the world coming to ,I've read ,listened and still don't have a clue ,but if I here the word once more . Action speaks louder than words.

As Maizie says.
Why isn't this published more?
IMO the biggest example of the distortion of the truth in this whole mess.
A referendum hasn't got the same legal status as eg a general election. Legally the result of a referendum is only advisory. Whereas a G.E. result is definitive.

The voters INSTRUCTED the government to take us out of the EU.

No they didn't. It was (whatever Cameron said) an advisory referendum so a small majority advised the government to take us out of the EU.

The woman is arrigant, snobbish, sneering and beghaves like a demented harpy when she cannot get her own way.

How ironic considering what the rent-a-mob posing as Brexiteers said to her!!

Are Brexit supporters really happy that these type of thugs are associated with them?
They are not, though, are they crystaltipps?

They assume the mantle of 'Brexiteers' but are not typical of the majority of people of all parties who voted to leave the EU.

Anna Soubury needs to understand why she is being called things she does not like...not forgetting that her own constuency voted LEAVE and that she sneers at "white working class" voters who "do not understand" the issue "as she does". The woman is arrigant, snobbish, sneering and beghaves like a demented harpy when she cannot get her own way

I am sorry maxdecatt but Anna Soubry like any other citizen has the right to enter her place of work unimpeded, and being called a “Nazi or traitor” is a far cry from being called “things she does not like”
Like them or loathe them, our MPs should be able to go about their business with adequate security.
The police must be unbiased or what price democracy ?

crystaltipps They aren't associated with me or the vast majority of Leave voters. Neither is Farage associated with me or the majority of Leave voters.
Are you associated with Goldman Sachs, if so how do you feel about what they did to Greece and their part in the sub-prime scandal?
Guilt by association has always been wrong and always will be.
I doubt if these thugs even vote. They just do what Tommy Robinson tells them to.
Most Brexiters have condemned the intimidation of Soubry. Some of us have also condemned the intimidation of Owen Jones.
You can't just decide to hold random people responsible for the thuggery of a few because of what they claim to believe in. Are you responsible for the online abuse that Remainers give to Leave voters? Do you challenge the name calling then?
