  I have no problem at all with direct action that may involve name calling, chanting or even the presence of large numbers. I really couldn't care less that Soubry was called a "nazi" or Rees-Mogg "not a very nice man" outside his own home.
  
  But in this current febrile atmosphere (to borrow the Beeb's mandatory everyday adjective) and with so many blatant nutters around, I think that the time has come to be more prudent. If you take a look at the profile of some of these people then who could be sure that none of them was carrying a knife, for example? It may not have been violent in the strict legal sense but it was certainly, by any definition, harassment.
  
  Politicians, like anyone else, must have a right to go to and from their place of work without fear. Anyone else old enough to remember the miners' strike?
