It says it all really. Journalist attends press conference and is viciously attacked.What is particularly strong is the lengths the henchmen are going to to ensure that not only is Dominic Kennedy of The Times ejected but hurt in the process.
The use of the nose grab highlights this perfectly, it being a move favoured more by Daniel Day-Lewis's psychotic character in The Gangs of New York.
Even when people are disaffected with many aspects of this country, you would hope they could not be tempted to vote for this 'party'.
But then who is providing a credible alternative?
The Greens can't be bothered to promote themselves beyond the perception that they are the political wing of Greenpeace , the Lib Dems are suffering from the Kennedy debacle and Campbell experiment and then general impression that it ain't worth the effort.
Why can't we have parties who believe in something and stand up for it?
Instead we get three main parties wooing voters by changing to suit the climate in order to be elected. That's not what I want.
I want people to stand up and say 'This is what I believe' so I can decide if I agree with them. But all I have, which exception of the BNP, is people saying 'What do you believe and we'll agree with you'.
Thing is, I would not vote BNP even if it were to guarantee that the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse could be persuaded to never to return to this mortal realm.
