Text

I also unequivocally condemn the terrible scenes outside the Justice Minister and Councillor Long's house, as, last week, I condemned the terrible attack at the constituency office of Minister Kimmins and the graffiti attack on Mr Frew's constituency office. I genuinely believe that an attack on one of us is an attack on all of us in this place and that we all have a responsibility to defend democracy. I am afraid, however, that democracy is under two attacks today: the attack from the mobs outside, and the attack from those in here who want to silence accountability and scrutiny and link the actions of a mob with the legitimate voice of people in the Chamber. That is shameful.
