Really? You expected an unauthorised, unidentified, person of unknown intent to approach the PM, be able to tell the police "it's OK, I'm a comedian" and to be let off immediately with a "well off you go, you cheeky little scamp". To be honest, I think he was lucky not to get shot (I assume the PM has armed protection officers on duty at all times) I think you will find that Armed officers are taught to assess situations and not use their weapons at a mere whim, you are denigrating their exhaustive training or are you saying the Tories have cut their training as an economic measure?

Nice try. No, I'm not saying that, and certainly not denigrating them. I'm fairly sure our security services stack up very well in terms of training and, more importantly, how to use it. Now you are asking those personnel to take a split second decision based on

That's like comparing a legitimate football fan in the Holmesdale and a moron who runs onto the pitch to remonstrate with the ref - he's at the event by right, but he's definitely overstepped the mark of what he's entitled to do.

Nerd moves gently toward the PM with a bit of paper. Yes, he is very lucky to be alive. If that had been Trump he'd now have more holes than a Gary Glitter defence plea.

Perhaps that is why nobody was able to approach the 'Messiah' in Brighton who still thinks he won the election. Edited by Willo (05 Oct 2017 9.23am) Willo dear chap, this is a thread about your beloved conference, not anyone else's. All HOL banter aside, enjoy your CPF(c) event. Remember that the country deserves better than Boris.

Under section 4 of the Football Offences Act 1991, it states that it is an offence to go on to the playing area without lawful authority or excuse. I don't believe the same is true of the fringe of the stage of the Tory party conference. It's also not a crime to be within a certain distance of the PM. This wouldn't have happened if she was strong and stable and her government not in total disarray.

Boris and I are in agreement on this matter but alas we are world's apart in terms of oratory and articulation.He is certainly a schmoozer with a bon mot seldom far from his lips.
His quips do little to cover up the fact that he's a self-interested shyster.

Why are you being derogatory to someone who has posted nothing like an insult towards you? They're simply posting their opinion about the topic. You don't have to agree. I would've thought something had been picked up by GMP or GCHQ before granting him his accreditation, more so than the name should've been flagged by the party itself. Hardly anyone knows him as Simon Brodkin.
Optimistic as ever |

What he did was not acceptable. If you accept this then you will be certain to get the same for Labour.....This is what happens. Parties have a right to stage their conferences.
