Splat!

The attack on a Tory canvasser by a ketchup-wielding leftie loony is covered in Nick Hillman's blog and the Cambridge News.

I am ready to accept that political opponents disagree with me for honest reasons, but there is a marked intolerance on the Left - the nurturers of the 'no platform' schools of politics - to reciprocity on this assumption.

  1. There seems no evidence that there was any political motivation behind the "attack", let alone that it came from "the left". As the only description of the assailant is a "builder's van", I would have thought it equally plausible that the assailants were followers of UKIP or the BNP. Even more likely that it was a general and apolitical attempt to have a laugh at the expense of a bloke in a suit with a Blackberry. On the other hand, I am not sure what apparatus can be used to hit someone accurately with ketchup from a moving vehicle, so maybe it was an everyday ezample of thoughtless littering and he happened to get in the way.
