If there's one good thing about the last few days,

it's that we're no longer hearing,

talk of nooses or of knives.

Pretty much everybody in politics seems to have agreed

that that sort of language isn't just distasteful.

It's pretty dangerous, too.

My guest on political thinking this week knows all about real fights.

There was a series of meetings and things I went to,

and one in particular, I just come away

from having a fist fight with a drug dealer.

So a drug dealer was just basically wouldn't leave

this particular set of kids alone.

I went to ask him come and friend jog on.

He attacked me out to defend myself.

And this is not just pushing and juggling.

No, no, no. This is unfortunate.

The pop-up punches, thrown, kicks, people

being joked across the floor, etc.

Much more from Sean Bailey,

the conservative candidate to be mayor of London

later on the podcast.
