Yes. At Labour events I would always see more actors than in the whole of the West End. And far more than ordinary people.

Before it was Johnson and Cobyn, now it's Sunak and Stramer - same coin flipping, but different :-)

Apparently the most outrageous thing he did was to hold up his hand to stop someone talking. Is that something you learn as a black belt?

I tend to believe him. Doesn't seem like a hothead to me, unlike..
Maybe he was attecked by someone waving a banana. 

Any who knows ka-raab-te can't be all bad. Still, the rough and tumble of judo would have been better but he doesn't have the build for it, unlike William Hague.

He also threw a tomato. But not at someone. Maybe into a bin? Not everyone likes tomatoes. Also it isn’t specified whether it was a cherry tomato or a beefsteak tomato, such details make all the difference.

Tomatoes are easy to throw but very difficult to strangle.

Now. Boris is more of a judo guy; he got tips from fellow journalist Mark Law

Just about survived. It's no fun being as crash test dummy by this guy. 
Actually, Ruska's club in red light area (Wallen) was called OYAMA. His estate is now in another club called OYAMA. I am displayed to new member as a museum piece (like Elgin's marbles) from Olde Amsterdam.

That's my feeling as well. I don't know all the details.
Anyone who does karate (and especially boxing) can't be all bad. Bad eggs last about 2 sessions in these clubs.

The DPM’s conduct cannot be characterised as offensive, malicious or insulting. It was experienced as intimidating, in the sense of excessively demanding. I could not make a finding as to whether it was in fact intimidating in this sense. There was no evidence to suggest any abuse or misuse of power. 

The poor dears. 
Here in NL similar stories are raging. Must be something in the water.

Few months ago I ordered a coffee in a particular train station I had never before been in; on bad service I tend to become very direct; when I had paid the manager came up to me and said she didn't want me anymore as customer. The hubris and it's rampant. People basically don't want to work anymore. They are better off not working, tax-wise.
