I do not think they realised what an ugly sight that was, with their laughing, braying faces flushed with seven years of an overwhelming majority.
They begin to roar and shout and bray, because they cannot justify their arguments.
Imagine their discomfiture if they find that, worse than a live band, they are to have a loudspeaker braying at them for hours at a time.
I also believe it is unthinkable and impossible that the war-whoop of a faction or the bray of a minority should ultimately prevail over the cry of a nation.
Earlier today they treated us to a disgraceful display of brawling and braying in support of mandatory postal ballots, but now that we are discussing the practicalities they are absent.
