Tory MP Jacob Rees-Mogg chased by students at Cardiff University

Left-wing students at Cardiff University chased Jacob Rees-Mogg from its campus on Friday evening.

The Tory MP had given an address to the university’s Conservative and Unionist Association, flanked by security.

Outside, students waved Palestine flags gathered to chant hostile slogans including “Tory c--t”.

Dramatic video footage then shows that when Mr Rees-Mogg left the building after his speech and made his way to a car, screaming protesters swarmed him and security guards were forced to push them back.

Sam Baron, a student, said the protesters had prevented him from entering the building where Mr Rees-Mogg was giving the address.

“These far left, anti democracy bullies stopped my attendance despite me obtaining tickets,” he said.

Jake Enea, vice-president of the university’s Conservative and Unionist Association, said: “This does not represent the people of Cardiff and Cardiff University.

“Truly disgraceful and I hope Jacob Rees-Mogg is ok.”

Mr Rees-Mogg has not publicly commented on the incident.
