OI !
No he most certainly didn't. It was entirely inappropriate. He didn't need to keep hold on her neck either once she was turned around and on the way out.
I'd be curious to see the reaction of those who deem it acceptable if it was their wife, daughter, mother, sister etc who had been grabbed by the neck by someone.
Quite.
except it going to last more than 5 minutes
A bit harsh just because he refused to play 2 Unlimited
Guardian:
The gut knows. The gut processes what the eye sees. A woman slammed up against a wall. A man, eyes bulging with rage, his hands on her. He pushes her out of the posh dinner, his hands gripping her neck. She is shocked. The gut twists at the familiarity. Male violence so everyday that many will have experienced it, many will have felt sick watching it – and somehow still ashamed to admit that this had happened to them too. Elsewhere, long ago, somewhere more private. No one saw.
Marilyn French once said “As long as some men use physical force to subjugate females, all men need not. The knowledge that some do suffices to threaten all women.”
These are the players now. The contest of men on stools is coming to its end. Tension is high. Egos are rampant. A woman slammed up against a wall. Should the poor man lose his ministerial car?
But we have seen and we know only too well that move: to silence us, to take our breath away. We have seen the shady brotherhood that will defend this in the name of some “anti-terror” alertness. We know where the terror really comes from. It is from those who sanction male violence."
In the circumstances they would have got no more than they deserved
disruption is not a peaceful protest
I would funny that, but it might be mis-understood.
If she had gatecrashed a private function with the intent to cause disruption and refused to voluntarily leave after being asked, I would fully expect her to be physically ejected.
Why, what would you expect to happen?
Context is everything.
