The Mansion House Martyr -Mark Field

So there is at least one MP with balls and courage, Step forward Mark Field the Foreign Office Minister who tackled a climate change protester at the Mansion House dinner. As everyone else sat paralysed in their chairs he alone stepped forward and got a grip as a 'protester' moved rapidly towards the top of the table where the big brass sat.  He acted totally correctly.  The protester could easily have been a terrorist with a knife- he was not to know it was just yet another potty woman intent on disrupting the dinner and, actually, even if he did think this,he was still right to stop her and forcibly remover  her from the room.

The reaction from our pathetic Prime |Minister was perhaps predictable- she found the incident 'very concerning'.  As well she might here was a high profile event at which some of the most important people in government and business were present and the security was so pathetic that a group of women climate change protesters could walk in off the street,  go up the stairs and into the dining room with no one making any attempt to stop them.  So here is a tip to anyone thinking about carrying out a terrorist attack in the near future- dress up as a climate change protester and police will open the door for you! Whoever was in charge of the 'joke' security for the banquet should be sacked as should whatever apology for a policeman was supposedly looking after VIP security. But actually -amazingly - Mrs May wasn't 'Very concerned at the lamentable security - no it was that a Member of|Parliament had acted promptly to tackle the situation and -astonishingly - she has asked him to step down while a full enquiry takes place.

You really can't make these people up. The incident was on TV - anyone can see that Mr Filed acted properly what one earth is an 'enquiry' going to show? But the equally pathetic Conservative Party Chairman - an nonentity called Brandon Lewis also has called for a full internal enquiry saying -"it is very hard not be astonished by what you've seen" To cap it all Jeremy Hunt refused to say whether he thought MrField should be sacked -yes sacked - for doing the right thing !
