I hope that the same situation never happens to you Dan because inviting them in for a cup of tea and trying to work out why they're like that doesn't work. Actually, I hope it does happen to you to see how you react. How do you think you would?

I hadn't seen the story but based on the Telegraph account, it wasn't too dissimilar. If someone bit me and said they had Aids, I'd kick the living sh*t out of him/her.

edit: Having seen the CCTV, it doesn't look like she bit him and wasn't being aggressive so, in fairness, I think he over reacted.
Ha ha!! If my skin was that thin I'd have been scared of a syringe wielding smackhead too....

I've been in plenty of situations like that over the years before I worked as a journo and whilst working as one. I wouldn't wish them on anyone - even if someone hurt my feelings on the internet.

I've even been attacked by a chair wielding housing benefit claimant whilst working on the benefits counter in Manchester Town Hall.

Needless to say I din't invite them round to my Chorlton Kibbutz for a cup of tea and a bowl of muesli ....

I don't read the Guardian anymore either - it's trash.

It's a shame you didn't watch the video before you tried to defend that copper.
