From a great article - as you don't like clicking links I have encapsulated it for you here.
So it’s acceptable now to assault electoral candidates? That’s the pretty scary take-home message
Journalists and even politicians have been going wild over it, Johnny Mercer said the attacks made him ‘#lovebritain’. later realising it isn’t a good idea for a member of an increasingly unpopular party to green-light assaults on unpopular political figures.
It is surely a basic principle of democracy that individuals can campaign for office without fearing assault,The media class has basically said that it is acceptable to attack an electoral candidate.
The double standards here are gobsmacking. The man who threw an egg at Jeremy Corbyn condemned as a violent threat to democracy and was jailed for 28 days.
People who are condoning the "milk shaking" are implying that physical violence against politicians is acceptable.
In a democracy you argue and debate and vote, you don’t use violence. But in the view of those cheering the assault, violence is acceptable.
What impact do you think this message you are supporting will have on some angry members of the public who think Brexit-betraying Labour and Tory MPs are traitors.
You can’t claim that a handful of men shouting in Anna Soubry’s face outside Parliament is an outrage against the democratic process but the assaulting of other electoral candidates is fine.
