Quote Message: This has never been a part of our political culture here in the United Kingdom but at the same time neither has the use of very extremist, almost, political messaging ever been a part of it either and one of the things that I've seen is I've come across people who have simply been repeating those same sound bites that they've been hearing on the television and radio. It really has led to a situation now where campaigning has had to be suspended and people genuinely I think, are within their rights to feel quite intimidated by what has happened but this is a culture which is completely alien to British democracy."
