...” A Morrisons spokesperson told The New European that customers had been complaining about the man, who had reportedly been "forcing" leaflets onto them and had refused to leave the shop when asked.

The chain acknowledged that the security guard, who at one point pushed the man to the floor, "over-reacted".

The spokesperson said: "Customers in our store complained about the man in the video because he was forcing leaflets onto them. Electioneering doesn't take place in our stores.

"He was asked to leave the store but wouldn't. The security guard, who is from a security company, over-reacted and we are dealing with this."


...they were obviously acting on customer complaints...but an overreaction by the security guard...it’s good that it’s been acknowledged immediately by Morrison’s and is being addressed...I’m assuming that security guards are given correct manhandling training, but it wasn’t practised there...
