And this is a government who is promoting a return to civility in the inner sanctum of public office. I am not blaming others this MNA’s error of judgement. I won’t be blaming any political parties for such behaviour.

But I can’t stop wondering about teaching good manners and civility. We are looking at better educating our youth to be well equipped when facing challenging situations. Frustrations might be high but this does not permit this elected official of losing it in public like that.
