I observed that in Parliament recently that MPs walked out of the Chamber in protest to a Labour Party amendment being allowed to the SNP ceasefire in Gaza motion.
My first question was did Bob Seely walk out in protest?
If he was not there, would he have supported the protest?
Why the questions are important
All these questions are important as this government is continually looking to restrict the right to protest from political groups, human rights and union groups.
Now if it is good enough for MPs to protest, then why is it not our right to have protests?
Division in society
Society is being divided by those that are privileged and those that are not.
I would be interested to hear Bob’s response, but he never seems to reply.
Ironic is not the word really.
News OnTheWight has asked Bob Seely whether he was in attendance. He told us,
“I wasn’t there that day, I was slipped. However, it is an important subject and am happy to answer at greater length if you want”
News OnTheWight asked what he would have done had he been there. He replied,
“I can’t really say what I would have done if I was there. I wasn’t there and I would be looking back with the benefit of hindsight.”
