I mean, listening to Oliver Dowden (any relation to Amy?) you kind of get the feeling that his defence of attempting to ban the Armistice Day Palestine protest is based on his fear that politicians will be out and about, and possibly targets for some. Nothing would be funnier watching Sunak flee down the road with his half mast trews flapping round his lower shins. When a finger salute from Andrea Jenkyns just won't cut it...

Yeah, I would have used the Father Ted thread if it was a rather more important role.

A party that thinks the cops are soft on crime? A party that seeks to suppress protest at all costs and creates crimes every 5 minutes through legislation? Ah, if only he had got one of those "lefty lawyers" to defend him! They make it up as they go along. Subject to sentence and all that might flow from that, if he survives is he standing at the next election anyway?
