Hvad skete der, da Mike Amesbury blev fanget på CCTV? Læs om hans voldsomme aften som har chokeret politiske kredse!

Den britiske politiker Mike Amesbury, medlem af Labour-partiet og repræsentant for Runcorn og Helsby, er blevet suspenderet efter en chokerende episode fanget på overvågningskamera. Videoen viser, at Amesbury tilsyneladende giver en mand et knytnæveslag, som får ham til at falde til jorden, hvorefter den unge MP angiveligt fortsætter med at slå ham flere gange. Denne hændelse har vakt harme og forargelse i såvel det politiske miljø som i offentligheden.

CCTV-optagelserne, som blev offentliggjort af weekendens aviser, har skabt storm i medierne og ført til, at Labour har taget affære ved at fjerne hans whip - en overførsel af magt og tiltro fra partiet. Offentligheden har været hurtig til at reagere, hvor mange har udtrykt deres chock over situationen, især med tanke på, at Amesbury tidligere har haft et ry for at være en talsmand for social retfærdighed og ligestilling.

Som resultat af denne skandale har politiet også indgribet; en 55-årig mand er blevet interviewet under caution i forbindelse med hændelsen. Mike Amesbury har ifølge rapporter også selv anmeldt et overfald til Cheshire Police tidligere samme nat, en detalje der kun tilføjer til dramaet om denne usædvanlige situation.

Selvom Amesbury nu står over for mulige konsekvenser i sit politiske liv, kan man ikke lade være med at undre sig, hvordan en aften kan føre fra lovligt arbejde som folkevalgt til en offentlig skandale. Visuelt har dette minne også rejst spørgsmålet om, hvorvidt politiske skikkelser skal være mere ansvarlige for deres handlinger, når de er under offentlig iagttagelse. Historisk set var politikere i det britiske parlament nødt til at mødes fysisk for at træffe beslutninger, men nu er vi vidne til, at de også skal håndtere deres handlinger uden for kontoret med lige så meget alvor.
