1. Assuming this was politically motivated this is literal terrorism and democratic interference. I hope an example is made of these people, behaviour like this should never be tolerated.

   I know the Worker’s party is controversial but I hope that doesn’t lead to people seeing this as more acceptable. Political violence like this is absolutely wrong and unacceptable.

2. The police need to stamp out any hint of political intimidation, if that’s what this is.

3. Seems really weird. Who the hell would even know who the local Workers Party person was let alone be angry enough to gets baseball bats out? I kind of feel significant details are missing here.

4. Of course it is always possible that this was to do with some feud related to family/gangs/money/drugs or whatever and nothing to do with his father’s politics.

5. Oh dear, Ed, couldn’t you just be content with the bungee jumps and paddle boards?
