Should Mark Field be charged with assault?

There was no reason to lunge and go for the throat, however as the protestor points out a course in anger management should sort him out.

He did not touch her throat he steered her with a hand on the back of the neck.


Pay attention at the back.

she wasn't invited and was aware she was required to leave.

She was making her way towards the podium where it was likely that that people would feel threatened. There were more than 12 who were willing to resist expulsion so Riot is possible.

so yes on the published facts she appears guilty.

She appears guilty to you, or you have proof?

She appears guilty to you, or you have proof?

under UK law it is innocent until proven guilty so proof is only proven in a court of law. That is why media outlets use the words accused until a verdict is returned.

However if you look at the law and the facts published she appears guilty in my opinion.

You’re such a snowflake.

It’s not likely anyone was feeling threatened last night. Annoyed at having their dinner and wine interrupted, yes, but not “threatened”.

Was she asked to leave by the owner? Did Mr Field have any authority on behalf of the owner to evict the person?

Maybe you need to re-evaluate your understanding of both the law and the facts.
