As I wrote in an old Liberal Democrat News column about my hero J.W. Logan, the former Liberal MP for Harborough:
On the night of 27 July, as he waited for the throng to clear, Logan crossed the chamber and sat down truculently beside Carson on the Conservative front bench. Hayes Fisher, a Tory MP, pushed him away. Logan elbowed back and was grabbed by more Tories, whereupon the Irish Nationalists waded in to support him.
For the next 20 minutes elderly, frock-coated MPs belaboured one another. Hats were flattened, coats torn and faces bruised. Onlookers in the galleries began to hiss and eventually the Serjeant-at-Arms restored order.If you follow the link to the full column, you will find a comment from someone whose great-grandfather was shot dead by Logan in an accident.
Nobody's perfect.
