What a pathetic woman!

This kind of behaviour really doesn't advance anyone's cause.

She's lucky it wasn't John Prescott. He would have decked her!

After he'd thanked her for the custard

She got a 6 minute interview on the BBC - and I thought spoke quiet well - and commented on the need for direct action in the face of a complacent ' we know best' political process - likening her need to take action to the actions of the Suffragette movement. I think a lot of people will think she has advanced their cause.

Firstly, i don't like Mandelson, and whilst travelling to work today and heard it on the radio whilst in the car my first reactions were- probably deserves it-good.

I then watched it on the TV news several times and the more i did the more pathetic it looked. Yes she got coverage (albeit immediate) but in the long term if we all behaved that way when we don't like or agree with something, is it really the 'right' thing to do? childish, imature(sp) -probably a few more adjectives too.

I have no time whatsoever for Mandelson or any other politician who can sleaze their way in and out of power by merit of being part of an old-boy network. Politicians increasingly appear to operate with impunity and in blatant disregard of the public they represent.

However, this incident was wrong.

It will doubtless have profound consequences.
Politicians will seek greater security, less access & interaction with the public, and greater legal punishment for any violations. (Mandelson is playing this part down, but he's a sly one).

If that happened to me I'd be raging, and I can understand why John Prescott did what he did in 2001.
The argument being, this time it was green custard, but next time it may be acid or something.

To be honest, the whole incident looks staged to me .... look closely at the clip .. no-one seems unduly bothered, the woman isn't aprehended, but allowed to just wander off ... doesn't that seem unusual ? This is despite the fact she's just commited an assault on a leading politician with who knows what, in the midst of a security presence and the world's media?
(check out the woman to the culrits left , who shadows her out the main gate, clearly talking to someone, either on a mobile or an earpiece)

The way things are going, it would appear Governments across the globe are expecting a lot of civil unrest due to the coming financial crisis, and are intent on putting countermeasures in place before it kicks off.

And I'd like to add that this woman is now on tv preaching DIRECT ACTION. Which I presume is a call to arms to the general public to get radical and pull similar (or worse) stunts. The more I see this trivial little incident, the more sinister it appears. This whole thing STINKS.

I'm surprised no-one has commented on this yet ?

Does anyone know what an agent provocateur is ?

"A person employed to associate with suspected individuals or groups with the purpose of inciting them to commit acts that will make them liable to punishment".

If you or I were intrviewed on tv, we'd probably stumble, hesitate & be slightly awkward. This woman appears as well briefed as any politician. Never hesitates, doesn't deviate from the script. is suitably vague about her employer .. "a charity".

The buzz words "DIRECT ACTION" are suitably re-enforced.

If anyone is stupid enough to be "radical", then I can assure you, the riot squad can't wait to make your aquaintance.

Please watch the following, it's initially confusing but worth the effort to get to the punchline.

Very interesting videos.

I wonder what would have happened if this person was a man of a certain heritage throwing something at this guy. Would they have just let him saunter off like that? In this day and age of terrorism, anyone doing this would have been kissing the cement god, handcuffed and arrested seems to me.

Good question.

Moral: If you want to commit the offence of common assault against a member of the government, being a white, middle class female makes it acceptable!

Good headline in one of the papers."Slime Dog Minister".

I dont care much for Peter Mandelson but that stupid lassie should get 6 months in the jail for that. Behaviour like is just not on....same as these idiotic stunts Fathers' For Justice come up with.

I would hope that any future employers of the green slime thrower remember what she is capable of and not touch her with a barge pole.

I see what £3.73 is getting at now.....surely not! Mandelson is not THAT sleazy is he?

Peter Mandleson is a prime example of what is wrong with modern day politicians,not that he is an elected offical,but would you employ this guy knowing his past record?

interesting range of opinions.as people become fed up with politicians not listening and following their own agenda expect more of this kind of thing.the fact that mandy is where he is now tells us all we need to know about the labour party and politicians.they think we are mugs who will just put up with whatever tripe they dish us up.she may have been wrong but at least those in power may realise some of us wont sit back and take it.
Cant wait till that smug git gordon gets a custard pie in the kisser.
mmmm maybe an id card would have prevented the whole incident,or more cctv,or then again maybe its all about nothing.
thank you and good day.
