Do you have a source for that?
Looks like the BNP guys were winding these guys up and Bob Bailey was acting totally inappropriately and the Bob Bailey appears to touch and then shove one of them first, then starts swearing. You can't hear exactly what is being said but he appears to be saying "just get on your f***ing way", why doesn't he get on his "f***ing way" himself? Totally appalling behaviour for a prospective MP.

Racism is the lowest of the low, and the reaction was absolutely absurd for someone who wants to be an MP. I am disappointed that you condone it. Of course the spitting was wrong but if that had happened to any sane candidate they would have had it dealt through the proper channels, after all there is video evidence, and a conviction would have been possible. But as it happened the BNP became the main aggressors and it looks like they started it too, so a total own goal for them! Hardly surprising neither party wanted to make a complaint to the police.
As I said, ASIDE from the fact it was a BNP candidate. In other words, spitting, at anyone, is just not on. It's just disgusting.
They would have looked much better on camera in my opinion if they had just had a heated discussion and let the candidate be the aggressor.
Spitting just makes THEM look the lowest of the low. They've not done themselves any favours and have given the racist thugs of society more ammunition for voting BNP!
John Prescott (sane candidate?) threw a punch at an egg thrower and would have done more if he wasn't pulled away, made big news too but he wasn't BNP was he?
I may sound like I'm a BNP supporter. I most certainly am not! I would NEVER vote for them in a million years.
Having been spat at myself at work I can sympathise. Wouldn't wish it on anyone and if I wasn't in uniform at the time, I would have reacted the same way!
Spitting on anyone is just vile.
