MP Mark Field grabs female protester by throat

You'd be right at home in North Korea then

I disagree. I’m a woman too. Don’t barge into places to disrupt and expect to be asked to leave politely

Climate change is a nation emergency. The whole point of a protest is disruption. Would you say the suffragettes should have been more polite?

'He continued to grip me by the neck and arm all the way the the door of the building.Then when we got to the door,he shoved me outside on to the street ,and said :
'This is what happens when people like you disturb our dinner '
An understandable response to the risk of a slight delay in the serving of the next course.
Imagine if the repulsive individual had actually been scared,vile man

He does it openly in front of an audience of men, demonstrating that he feels perfectly free to take liberties with another man's wife
He's letting them all know that he's the alpha male and he can do what he likes with the females, grab them by the head, grab them by the neck
Perhaps he thinks that if trump can grab them by the pussy surely he can grab them by the head/ neck

What kind of person would snog the face off his colleague's wife? At a daytime work event with cameras present, no less? Poor woman. Bad enough being married to the *unt, but having that sleeze force himself on her too?

Look at him here, look at him dominating and controlling Jeremy hunts wife, he grabs her by the head and eats her face

Mark Field was triggered by the sight of this uppity woman and he couldn't restrain himself from milking this opportunity to dominate and subdue a woman in front of an audience

Going for the neck like that is a subtle message, it says 'I watch porn and I know how to make a woman do what I want'.... he wants all the men and all the women in the room to know that

If Field really believed the woman to be about to attack or to be a possible terrorist, can we nominate him for the Darwin awards (awards for stupid people selecting themselves out of the gene pool by death)? Because, if he really believed that, he did everything he possibly could both to provoke and facilitate her in turning her supposed gun or knife on him, or setting off her supposed bomb whilst he hung on to her neck.

I think he dealt with a possible terrorist in a way anyone would. If she had a gun, he'd be called a hero now. In those seconds you act or you don't. She had forcefully entered where she shouldn't be and should expect to be forcefully removed.

And yet hundreds of people who saw her clearly didn't consider for one moment that she could be a terrorist - why else can you see them in the video watching her quite calmly? Likewise, Field never for one moment thought she was a possible terrorist, for all the reasons stated by IcedPurple. If she'd had a gun, the situation wouldn't have arisen, because she wouldn't get through security.

And she didn't "forcefully" enter. She walked in like everyone else. I'm sure she expected to be removed using reasonable force. She didn't expect to be the subject of a prolonged assault.

"What If She Had A Gun?" could be the new Gold Standard for dealing with sedentary lesbians.

If she had a gun, he'd be called a hero now.

Actually, if she'd had a gun and was a 'terrorist', he'd be dead now. That's because this 'hero' didn't feel the need to restrain her arms and instead pushed her against a pillar and marched her out gripping onto her neck. Nor was he arsed to disarm this potential 'terrorist' - or even bother to check she was armed - he just let her walk out into the street, complete with the 14 caliber shotgun she was potentially hiding in that little handbag.

FFS come up with a new excuse for thuggery. Or better yet, don't.

Do you really think that the way to disarm a person with a gun is to grab them by the back of the neck?

I despair, I really do. It's almost funny, but not.

The only possible terrorist is the violent man Mark Field. What if he'd had a gun?

I think he dealt with a possible terrorist in a way anyone would. If she had a gun, he'd be called a hero now. In those seconds you act or you don't. She had forcefully entered where she shouldn't be and should expect to be forcefully removed.

Hampton it’s a real eye opener isn’t it. Similarly on R4 this morning 3 conservative voters said B Johnson’s behaviour with his girlfriend is totally private and has nothing to do with the public.

I think about the kind of country we are living in and really don’t like it.

I'm listening to R4 Any Answers phone in at the moment and think I'm going to combust. Two women saying Field's actions were commendable. A man has phoned in and is speaking rationally about it.

FWIW I think that tweet is a mock up and not something he actually tweeted. someone on T said so anyway.

His reaction on the video was disproportionate imo. He went straight to man- handling her - there was no request for her to leave, nor an attempt to detain her while security came.

I saw anger and physical domination - not fear and self-defence.

It's very clear from the video that he relished the opportunity to dominate and intimidate this woman in front of an audience of admiring peers
He really enjoyed publicly humiliating this woman

Yikes, that tweet! So yes, more confirmation that he sees smaller women and knows his body is intimidating. So he uses it to get what he wants.

But yeah, clearly he must have felt this protestor - wearing her high heels, her dress, holding her phone, walking by - was a threat to him when no one else at the event did and was just trying to “escort her out”. /s

What a disgusting man.

What is it with people here and in AIBU claiming she was holding some mysterious “something” in her hand, anyway? It is all very obvious to anyone who takes 29 seconds to watch the video it’s a phone...same for all those alleging she pushed at him, has a “mean look”, and so on. If you are going to try and gaslight people that this was an appropriate reaction at least watch the video first.

I am equally disgusted by the gaslighting as the number of people supporting this man’s actions or this kind of reaction in general. And falling all over themselves to do it! The hatred for women and the condonation of men “being intimidating” to get what they want (be it stopping music being played or stopping a peaceful protest) is palpable. You can call it “managing a threat” or “frogmarching” or whatever else: the video, and her own report of the incident where she clearly highlights she was scared, hurt, and trying to diffuse (saying she would walk out on her own!) show it was the violent act it was. Which Field intended it to be, you know, because he knows his body and size are “intimidating”.

I wonder what he does behind closed doors

ixqik that tweet tells us everything we need to know really.

Just can’t wait to show women how intimidating he can be and put them back in their place.

@InionEile I'm not sure that everybody commenting is a FWR regular. I hope not, anyway.

I said something similar this time yesterday. Not that you have to be part of a 'club' to post here but still, it's interesting....

I suggest ignoring the poster called 'Caucho'. He/she has made it clear that he/she is motivated by tired, not to say confused, political views about Corbyn/The Guardian/lefties/Julie Bindel etc.

Little point in trying to get into a discussion.
