Greenpeace activist: 'Mark Field needs anger management'

Janet Barker recounts assault by suspended MP and says it will not stop her activism

Bruised and still shaken, Janet Barker is incredulous at the violent reaction of the Foreign Office minister Mark Field to her peaceful protest with fellow Greenpeace activists at the chancellor's Mansion House speech.

However, she has no plans to press criminal charges over the physical assault. "I think it is something best dealt with in the court of opinion," she said, while welcoming his suspension as a minister.
