"It's ok, Prezza did it too!"
Of course, it is difficult to tell exactly what happened here but somehow I don't think it is quite in an MP's job description to wrestle visitors to the Commons to the ground. Still, the MP concerned seems to have an interesting way of justifying his actions:
"It's always regretful to respond to provocation, but actually I think any normal person who is capable of defending themselves would have done exactly as I did.
"It happened to John Prescott a few years ago. It seems to have happened to me now."
Seriously, if your way of justifying your behaviour is to cite John fucking Prescott, you're screwed. You'd be better off saying nothing at all than likening yourself and your behaviour to that thuggish, corpulent cunt.

To be honest i actually admired Prescott after that altercation - it meant he was "real", not some media savvy monkey like the rest of them. That's about it though, he was a socialist in 'Nu Labour' aka a dinosaur...
But anyway i generally ignore this political point scoring bollocks over inconsequential nothings - i can accept that 'shit will happen'.
I'm not sure that an elected representative in a democracy wrestling a person to the ground with the walls of Parliament should be classed as an "inconsequential nothing". Maybe I just think our MPs should aspire to something better than resorting to violence against the people.
