Violence in the Commons.

A few months after the incident with the flour filled condoms and 2 days after the Fathers for Justice man scaling the wall of Buckingham Palace we have yet another security breach and a day of violence in the streets of London.

While parliament was debating the Bill to finally ban fox-hunting with hounds a group of pro hunt protesters burst into the chamber and had to be physically restrained.

Todays Independent had this to say. http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/politics/story.jsp?story=562193
A Security clampdown at the Houses of Parliament was under way last night after 5 supporters of hunting invaded the commons chamber.

On a day of highly charged emotions there were violent clashes between police and pro-hunt demonstrators outside Parliament which left 16 members of the public and one police officer injured. MPs voted last night to ban hunting with hounds by 356 votes to 166. Later a compromise move to delay the fox-hunting ban to July 2006 was backed by 342 votes to 15.
Police inquiries into the incident in the commons chamber were focusing on the theory that the protesters were helped by a researcher working for an unnamed Tory MP
.


What opinions to people hold on this incident and on the proposed ban in general?
