An MP was shot in the head outside a library a few years ago, but it takes someone lobbing a milkshake for this guy to condemn street violence 🤔
Sadly some remainers have become radicalised, to the extent that normal campaigning is becoming impossible.
For a civilised democracy to work you need the losers consent, politicians not accepting the referendum result have led us to this.
