Finally, some passion

ThisisLondon | 'Tory KO'd in Labour scrap'

Four Tory activists today claimed they were punched, kicked and verbally abused in a clash with Labour rivals while canvassing commuters.

One supporter of Romford Conservative candidate Andrew Rosindell was knocked unconscious and taken to hospital.

The fracas took place outside Romford rail station during rush hour yesterday evening as Labour and Tory campaigners leafleted commuters. According to witnesses the two camps traded insults before coming to blows.

I know every one expect Labour to beat the Tories, but surely this is taking it just a tad too far?
