Richard Ottaway was ‘frightened’ of these constituents presenting him with a petition.
What kind of frame of mind is Mr Ottaway in if he believes that 20 of his constituents arriving at his surgery with a petition constitute a threat serious enough to call the police? The police stayed for a couple of minutes and then left. It seems they had more important crime matters to be dealing with.
Richard Ottaway – Knight in name only. Once upon a time knights slew dragons.
‘The Conservative, who was awarded a knighthood this month for his services to politics, asked for protection from officers ahead of 12 of his constituents arriving at his Brighton Road office on Friday.
The group, who were delivering a petition opposing a controversial lobbying bill, said they felt “intimidated” when confronted by officers as they arrived at around 5.30pm.’
Send this guy a white feather.
