So Jenny Langston and Mark Barnard are blind are they? Starting a brawl in Wales, she said. Bully-boy tactics, he said.

What planet are these two on? They certainly aren't on the one where people can see with their own eyes what happens when an event is recorded by television cameras and broadcast.

John Prescott reacted in self-defence, as any normal person would when attacked by - as it turned out - a rabid Tory supporter angry that not everyone shares his love of blood sports.

Craig Evans committed the offence of assault against a person who happens to be a senior politician who should have had adequate police protection.

The Welsh police are responsible, in part, for the affair and whoever organised the policing of that event should be censured.

Good on yer, John. I hope you continue as an MP and heaven help anyone else who is able to attack you because of poor policing.
