Utter scum. Whoever is in charge of police protection for officials should be ashamed.

Witty has been made a target by the CRG and various lockdown and Covid sceptics and this assault shouldn’t be allowed.

The first one was a child making some stupid remarks, can kind of laugh that one off. This one is grown men though and looks more intimidating. Ridiculous behaviour.

Pretty depressing that someone who has carried themselves with professionalism and integrity is being targeted like this after everything he's done for us all.

Awful.

Some people are just tw*ts.

There is even a police van in the background, you'd have though they would have be around somewhere to stop this.

It is stupid behaviour by those two eejits.

But I just wanted to point out that reading in table view (or am I reading in thread view, I can never tell) the header reads 'Chris Witty being harassed and assaulted again by ElderGrizzly', not really the type of behaviour we expect from one of the forums more sane heads...

This is the problem. Certain news sources have ‘normalised’ assault

He’s not been assaulted. Harassed maybe. Storm in a tea cup.

So if people grab you, requiring you to wriggle out of a ‘headlock’ on the way to work, that is just a bit of bantz?

I suppose the point is, without close protection, it could have been someone with an uglier agenda.

No not at all. If you are in the public eye and have almost an iconic status like Witty then there is always a risk of this. Not condoning it.

This is absolute rubbish.

First you say it's not assault when clearly anyone manhandling you like that could be categorised this way and then you say that people in the public eye run this risk.

You're missing the whole point, people in the public eye shouldn't have to run any risk, they are doing a job, just because people see them doing it doesn't mean they should be treated any differently.

You might not be condoning it but you're posts do normalise it and that's not really OK.

Assault?! LOL

Yes, they were over the top and shouldn't have put their arm around him, but its hardly assault.

Must say when I saw the thread I was expecting an anti-COVID crowd pushing and shoving him or worse, not a couple of drunken d*cks basically going ‘wheyyyyy it’s Chris Whitty’

I'm sure it wasn't a particularly pleasant experience for him, but it's not like he was given a kicking is it. Hardly newsworthy in my humble opinion.

Unfortunately this kind of behaviour is fairly normal in the UK. Doesn't mean it's ok, but I don't think someone saying so on a football forum is going to have much of an impact.

No it shouldn't happen, but in the same breath what is depicted in the video is hardly a serious assault worthy of the level of attention and outrage it will now get. Why give them the platform?

To be fair, Sky News uses the words harassed and manhandled, not assault(ed).

It's perfectly legitimate to report on this, especially as it's hardly an isolated incident when it comes to public servants just trying to do their jobs. Whitty is an expert, his role is not political, he must be f-ing knackered, and we're very lucky to have him on the case. Something like this might make him just not want to bother any longer.

True, it's a nuisance more than anything, although he shouldn't have to put up with idiots like this. That video sums up the state of the UK quite nicely. On one side a professional trying to do his job under trying circumstances, and on the other a couple of dickheads.
