Dear Jessica Morden,
I wonder if you would care to explain something to me.
I would REALLY like to know why policemen stood back and did nothing about UAF protestors pelting an elected member of the European Parliament with eggs this evening.
After all, they didn't stand back and do nothing when John Prescott was pelted, did they. They didn't stand back and do nothing when Tony Blair was bombed with dyed flour lobbed from the public gallery, did they ?
I noted with interest Peter Hain's demand that the storm troopers of the Anti Nazi League he founded shortly after arriving on these shores after delivering the eulogy for a terrorist bomber and murderer in his homeland of south africa rise up against the BNP leader Nick Griffin MEP.
Are you personally pleased that they have heeded his call ?
I noted with interest that this incident occurred within television camera coverage of the houses of parliament. Now I was among the very last group of people - the Professional Contractors Group - to take part in a mass public lobby and demo of Parliament in 1999 over the Welfare Reform Bill, and our organised lobbying of members of parliament caused you so much chaos it was probably the reason Tony Blair brought in legislation to ensure it would never happen again by banning the assembly of a group of people without prior police permission within a mile of Parliament.
I note with interest that no policemen did anything about this group of "UAF" thugs. I take it then that you and the Home Secretary are pleased to condone their actions? I see no other explanation for the lack of police intervention in the face of the scenes that have been made public courtesy of the BBC and Sky TV.
I think it's a very dangerous path you're treading here.
I was a counting agent at Torfaen last week. I confess to being more than a little delighted to see your party's stranglehold on wales destroyed by the conservatives and UKIP and the shock at the size of the BNP vote in was palpable in the faces of the massed tory faithful but I think that unless the Home Secretary starts sorting out some proper protection for our elected representatives - ALL OF THEM - then this is all going to end in tears.
I note that the website of the organisation that your government allowed to violently assault an elected member of the European Parliament is ALREADY saying it should have been a brick in the face.
Is this what you want ?
DO tell me because if it is I'll join the BNP tomorrow and stand against you in the next General Election.
I'm PRETTY convinced they'd be delighted to have a former director of a company that employed five people and turned over £200K until YOUR government's policies on taxation and immigration destroyed it standing under their ticket.
Yours sincerely,
"johnofgwent"
