Odile in her wisdom seems to think that the actions of a few conspiracy theory nutters outside parliament are representative of the entire Brexit movement. This is clearly nonsense.

I do find it amusing seeing Loz accusing someone else of whataboutery.

The UK news is milking this.
Anna Soubry has clear comments on the episode and is not hysterical at all.
As Loz says though, Farage / UKIP have had this for years, and no-one seemed too concerned at the time.
If it's not the Brexit nutters from one side, it's the Brexit nutters from the other.

If it's not the Brexit nutters from one side, it's the Brexit nutters from the other. | | | | | Farage has repeatedly moaned about this over the years, and has his own security detail.
Knowing the background of Kay Burley very well, seeing as she was raised a mile from me, and within a hundred yards of my school, I'm amazed that she hasn't kicked off her heels and clobbered someone yet. It must be taking an immense amount of restraint on her part. |

| Quote: | | | | | | | | | | And Anna Soubry wonders why people shout abuse at her in the street? Anyhow, this doesn't really change anything and the only real way to stop a no deal Brexit will be to bring down the government with a no confidence vote.
