Was the way in which he reacted the absolutely ideal response? Probably not. Are unpredictable things more likely to happen when you burst into a room you've not been invited into? Probably.

I'm not sure that members of a family out celebrating getting their heads repeatedly kicked while unconscious on the ground by a far larger group is a typical tear up, but each to their own. I of course appreciate how gung ho you are about this head kicking business though. A real advocate.

I've sent you the PM you seem desperate for me to send Chris, since you seem completely enamored by the idea of kicking everyone in the head in person. Tragically though, I've instead wished you a fantastic Monday. Have a great week Chris!

I trust this is the end of the exhilarating head kicking exchange. Thanks.

Or indeed when you trespass on property that someone just decided is theirs. If they don't infect you with Smallpox first.

Yeah, that's their story.

Very rarely do 7 men go out and kick f*** out of a random family having a quiet dinner. Looked more like two groups of lads having a tear up with the compulsory couple of drunk birds screaming "leave it Terry, it's not worth it" to me.

And as for you:

You've called me all sorts of names and insulted my wife and kids before offering me out for a straightener.

Instead of supplying a time and place, you're now wishing me a nice day and begging for the matter to be at an end.

Whatever mate. Hell of a climb down even by keyboard warrior standards.

You really are in a grumpy mood aren't you. I expect it's a bit warm for you.

No, I hate very few people. I do believe people should be able to protest. And this is the BIG one. It really really matters. Even though Trump says there isn't a problem.

Field was being obnoxious thinking he was being a clever hero. Bad judgement. I don't know him personally. What I do know is that I am not besmirching his character, all I have said is factual. He did not act in an appropriate way, especially given he is a Solicitor.

In addition the lady concerned was within her rights, otherwise I am sure she will be convicted of a crime. The ECHR is very clear on how this should be treated and the UCHR has given a strong opinion.

And finally, as the UCHR makes absolutely clear, sometimes there is a greater interest in pushing matters to the limit, significant change is normally not an evolutionary thing.
