not at all neither the speaker who you
would have expected to nor the Prime
Minister who
ought to nor of course the leader of the
opposition Ed miliband in fact he walked
past me in Parliament on my walking
stick and I opened the door for him he
just looked straight at me as if nothing
had happened and it's very foolish
because I did make the point to them
that the attack was on me then but would
and could be on others tomorrow or the
day after tomorrow and of course in the
last few days David Cameron the prime
minister of the country no less was uh
pushed it was said although the person
who pushed him says he merely bumped
into him and there was a huge Hue and
cry throughout the British media Sky
gave it rolling coverage as if it were
an almost lethal assault
and if it was an assault then what have
we come to in this country where
politicians elected politicians in my
case 27 years elected can be attacked in
the street for our political views that
way lies Anarchy and worse than Anarchy
I was attacked quite explicitly because
of my political views on Palestine and
what they call Israel in my case I
wasn't just pushed I was severely
assaulted I was hospitalized and I am
still believe it or not in pain right at
this very minute I'm still taking
painkillers I still have cracked ribs
it's taking a very long time to heal and
I think it's going to be even longer
before I can put it entirely out of my
mind and so for the House of Commons to
sink to the occasion to fail to stand up
to the occasion was very uh
disappointing it was quite hurtful
actually but it was more than anything
else very stupid of them because once
that starts breaking out on the streets
of Britain well I tell you there are far
more people would quite like to attack
other MPS than there are people who want
to attack me
