There also seems to be a double standard, as it's hard to imagine this level of outrage had the same force been used against a man.
Fairly certain he wouldn't have been trying to grab them by the throat, had it been a man and not a woman in a cocktail dress.

grab them by the throat
Maybe its cause I heard the story on the radio a few times before seeing the footage, but to me grabbing someone by the throat is this:
Not pushing someone along by holding the back of the neck.
From what I know about him, I don't think he'd treat a guy in a cocktail dress any differently.

From watching the video a few times the description of the "violence" seems a bit exaggerated. There also seems to be a double standard, as it's hard to imagine this level of outrage had the same force been used against a man.
All that said, it isn't an MP's place to start ejecting protestors and his excuse is a load of bollocks.
