clearly excessive but

I do wonder if there'd be anywhere near this level of brouhaha if it was a male activist or a BNP activist.

(faod I think it would still be excessive behaviour to a male or BNP activist too, and the brouhaha is merited. Much like I still think it was wrong that Prescott got off lightly for punching that protester donkeys years ago)

Someone may have said all this already but like f**k am I wading through that lot.
