In this longer version of the video, you can see the woman apparently posing no immediate threat as she passes behind Mark Field. He marches her out of the room by her neck. I wasn’t there, so I can’t say she didn’t pose a risk, but it looks heavy handed. pic.twitter.com/zX2BtcPW4t

The right: “SACK HER! LOCK HER UP!â€

Oh get real Ryorry, this is Greenpeace, not the Football Lads Alliance. Everyone at Mansion House knew they were in no more danger than being late home and having to pay the baby sitter for an extra half hour.
If he knew 100% for sure that she was genuinely Greenpeace, my response would be completely different.

Quite. She could've been any nutter. And after what happened to Jo Cox, you don't take any chances.
That'll soon be their excuse whenever they fancy knocking around a protester.

Seeing as this has gone 7 pages it seems as though some are happy to defend the indefensible here.
Massively OTT, clear bully and fact it’s a woman is a bad look - deserves everything he’ll get as is totally unacceptable behaviour
The fact that some have defended it shows it isn't indefensible.
She could have been a nutter like the one who murdered Jo Cox. After that, you don't take any chances.
Not remotely OTT IMO, and no evidence he's a clear bully. We don't know what would've happened if it were a big bloke (he may have tried similar, with others assisting). As it was he didn't need assistance.
If he were to get sacked for this incident it sends out a message to would-be-nutters that politicians can't lay a hand on you, even in restraint. A very dangerous precedent.
Unfortunately, in the current climate, you're completely wrong on this.

What it shows is that some are trying to defend the indefensible. You can't just say she could have been a nutter, there was zero evidence that she was posing any threat. They'd made it clear they were from Greenpeace and protesting peacefully.

Equally, as I just posted to Joe, would-be-nutters now know politicians can't lay a hand on them. Very dangerous IMO.
"She was coming right at me, looking all kinds of impoverished, waving a stack of leaflets around I had to save everyone from that!"
He didn't attack her out of fear. Look at his face. He's attacked her out of sheer annoyance and outrage that she has dared to disrupt their privileged safe space.

When he threw her out in the street he told her that this is what happens when people like you interrupt our dinner. Not exactly the response of someone in fear of their life, more an entitled prick doubling down on his right to assault someone for briefly spoiling his evening.

Looks like he did and that is why he reacted as he did.
It wasn't till the BBC 10pm news last night that I saw the Greenpeace sash & the other protesters dressed the same - I couldn't see it from the small window here - and also learned that he'd intervened in a previous climate change protest. Does put a different complexion on it. Even so, as a general point, terrorists aren't beyond assuming different IDs to gain access or carry out attacks.

Stop trying to defend it. There is literally nothing about his response or her behaviour that indicates any sense of feeling threatened.

Give over mate. She was clearly no threat to him whatsoever.
Have you even seen it? I guess you have but I'm not trawling the thread.
Look for goodness sake. Bloke's a complete tw@t.
He's showing a face that is centuries old in the UK. The face of disgust shown by the privileged rich when presented with the masses.
They've learnt to hide it somewhat, but this time the mask has slipped.

He didn't tr and stop her and restrain her, he physically humiliated and bullied her - totally OTT. If he had actually completed a 'security move' on her then your case would have more merit to it - he didn't.
If she was a nutter with a knife, he'd have been stabbed - he knew she wasn't and the fact anyone allows that to be a part of the narrative says more about them.

There's no way a nutter could go in pretending to be a member of Greenpeace? No way she could've been concealing a knife?
She got into a place she shouldn't have been, with high ranking people literally in touching distance. That's a threat IMO. The Jo Cox case proves it.
The fact that I'm defending a Tory shows there is a defence to be had.
I wonder - if someone had got that close to the Queen, would the response have been similar (man or woman) and would you still be saying it's indefensible?
So the Mark Field incident then... on 11:52 - Jun 22 by Herbivore
That's quite some leap.
Not at all. If I were a nutter planning on attacking a politician this would be a boost to me, thinking that there will now be a moment where the politician hesitates to react for fear of being labelled a thug/bully/losing their job.
