On the one hand we have Tom Harris demonstrating some degree of common sense.
Although the real reason that the toddlers-on-a-sugar-rush activities of UKuncut and their chums were wrong was that they were wrong and not because it disrupted the message of the day – the message I believe that people who voted Labour are *gasp – stop the clocks* not happy that Labour lost the election. (If there was another message, it eluded me.)
That was on the one hand – on the other hand we had the ‘suck up to the rioters’ mentality of the shower of halfwits who signed the following EDM
‘That this House congratulates UK Uncut for the role it has played in drawing attention by peaceful demonstrations to tax evasion and avoidance and to the need for firm action to secure tax justice.’
