CARDIFF pro-Gaza students harass Jacob Rees-Mogg hurling vicious foul-mouthed abuse as they surround him and his car

 Pro-Palestine students and activists harassed Jacob Rees-Mogg and hurled foul-mouthed abuse at him after speaking at Cardiff University. 

Cardiff University's Conservative Society hosted the Tory MP on Friday for a speech. 

But shocking footage posted on X/Twitter shows him being escorted by eight security guards to a campus vehicle as students surrounded him shouting shouting 'Tory c**t', 'shame on you' and 'Free Palestine' and waving Palestinian flags. 

The students and activists, who were banging drums and shaking tambourines, were calling for a ceasefire in Gaza and shouted 'shame on you'.

Two people even attempted to get closer to the vehicle carrying the North East Somerset MP before being dragged backed back by security staff.

The protest was organised by Welsh Underground Network and Cardiff Communists, who claimed Mr Rees-Mogg was a 'zionist'.

They said: 'Mogg, and his ilk, are never welcome in Wales. No zionist politician should be able to walk our streets in peace, they shouldn't be able to open their mouths without being shouted down.'

Conservative Party Chairman Richard Holden, branded the protesters 'morons' and said: 'How silly of these morons - whatever they think their cause is, they do it a disservice I'm sure will have taken it in his stride but no elected politician should have to put up with this shrill intimidatory idiocy.'

Responding to Mr Holden, the Conservative Association said: 'Quite right. Thank you for sharing and highlighting this important issue. Absolutely disgusting to see this happen after our event this evening.'

In a statement, Rees-Mogg said: 'It was a legitimate and peaceful if noisy protest.

'The Cardiff University security team was exemplary in allowing a lawful protest while keeping everyone safe.

'Universities ought to be bastions of free speech and as both the protesters and I were able to give our views without fear or intimidation the proper traditions of adversarial debate were upheld.'
