Wondering why most of the Mark Field footage was silent? Here it is with sound, it's clear the climate protestors were acting peacefully and made their point well, as heard in this footage - then came Field's intervention, in marked contrast to how others handled the women.
With a loud siren sounding and a recording repeating "This is a climate emergency" Tory MP Mark Field claims - "In the confusion many guests understandably felt threatened and when one protester rushed past me towards the top table I instinctively reacted." - by assaulting her?
It gets worse, Conservative MP Peter Bottomley said, "Mr Field had done nothing wrong. The woman clearly was trying to create a fuss." - So, if a woman makes a fuss, give her a smack?
