Because I cannot load the video, let's just take the captions below the still photos:
/// Attack: BNP candidate Bob Bailey throws a punch during a confrontation with a group of youths in Barking, East London, yesterday ///
Can you honestly see that he is throwing a punch?
/// Face off: The youths and Mr Bailey and his team square up ///
More like Mr Baily friendly approaches the youths.
/// Provoked: The youth on the left spits at Mr Bailey, prompting his backlash ///
He may have done but I cannot see it.
/// Thrashing: Mr Bailey grips the man who spat on him before punching him ///
Hardly a thrashing, or even a punch, it just looks as if Mr Baily is trying to restrain the youth.
/// Attack: Mr Bailey delivers a kick to the man while he's on the ground///
To me it just looks as if Mr Bailey is running towards his attacker.
/// Melee: The scuffle erupts into a fully blown fight as the other youths and Mr Bailey's canvassing team pile in ///
3 against one as other youths join in, Mr Bailey's canvassing team pile in????? their gesture is for calm.
/// Toppled: The fighters hit the ground as Mr Bailey repeatedly punches and kicks one of the youths ///
One fighter hits the ground, could Mr Bailey just be helping him up? how can anyone tell if Mr Bailey repeatedly punches and kicks one of the youths?
