Hancock is a tit but he was ambushed in that interview. He has nothing to do with trade

What? The tories have employed the ex pm of Australia with a history of saying offensive things aimed at minority groups. Hancocks area of, and I use this word carefully, expertise, has nothing to do with anything. He was asked to comment on the guy, not trade policy.

There'll be excuses made for him no doubt.

He's absolutely a disgrace as a Minister.
Absolutely sickening.

Have you seen him murdering Queens Don't Stop Me Now on YouTube.
Piers Morgan played it on breakfast TV with that other waste of political space, the heartless Therese Coffey.

Honestly, ambushed or not, I couldn't care, his views on Abbott were relevant, being a Minister in government..
It's possible the NHS could have involvement in trade talks, particularly with the USA.

So his views on anyone being part of trade planning or negotiations are perfectly relevant.

Abbott wasn't that good an Australian PM anyway..

For his deceit and the unnecessary losses of lives to this virus however, Hancock should have been OUT months ago.

what a fine upstanding role model they picked to make their point

[Swan]

His 'mate' filming and commentating was just as annoying as the bloke resisting. UK Police should allowed be us more force for situations like this imo.

[joeysteele]

What was his reasons for not wearing a mask.
He for sure had plenty breath in him, and strength.
Could easily make his loud mouth work for him.

I'm not sure about the manhandling of him.
I guess this officer was calling for back up, he should have been.

What is really worrying and unnecessary is that there are individuals who would inconvenience others, endanger themselves and others as to this virus, just to make a point they have no intention of obeying instructions of wearing a facecoverings in any inside setting.

This exempt statement, really needs to be looked at and if anyone can be really exempt from wearing ANY kind of facecovering.
Then they need to have to have an exemption document, OFFICIALLY stamped and authorised by Doctor or Hospital.

Far better to wear a facecovering for a few minutes to an hour or so.
Than have to have or risk forcing others to have, a ventilator down your throat.

All for a simple facecovering for a time.

I wonder did the upstart filming this have a facecovering on either, he sounded another loudmouth.
Both just possibly out to cause a scene and bother.

The policeman was pretty poor in his reactions, why didn’t he issue a fine or wait for help to arrive if he wanted to remove him, he was going to get on the next train anyway so pointless

Yes Transport Police

This is the problem any police have.

There were others on that train fully complying with the rule of wearing facecoverings.

The police cannot be seen to NOT be doing something about it when someone is breaking the rules.

The point really is, this objectionable character should have got off the train or place a facecovering on his face.

It's not the policing fault.
It's morons like that individual and his equally obejctonable mate filming.

This exemption claim, has to be made a more binding than just saying issue.
If anyone HAS to be exempt, which I personally doubt, who is ABLE to be indoors with others.
Then some official document, medically backed and authorised needs to be shown.

No document then too no facecovering, then off or out they should be made to go.
For the protection of all others around them.

However, I don't know from the clip if he intended to, whatever, this officer should have called for further back up.
I agree wholly with you there.
Had he done so, this character and his mate may have then left the train.

the policeman should have tasered him and then waited for backup

Silvio Berlusconi's political party Forza Italia insists he's been taken to the San Raffaele hospital in Milan as a precaution after testing positive for coronavirus.

The former Italian prime minister has released a video saying he feels fine.

But he is 83, and reportedly in the early stages of double pneumonia. That's not necessarily any worse than pneumonia in one lung but it is a recognised symptom of Covid-19, which was originally called novel coronavirus-infected pneumonia.

His 30-year-old girlfriend, the Italian MP Marta Fascina, and two of his children have also tested positive.

Given over a billion in covid money. One of the biggest scandals after all this will be the money wasted by the government. Paying hundreds of millions to businesses owned by their friends, that haven't done what they've been paid for.
