"They yelled at me, however they wouldn't hit me. They would not like to discuss governmental issues, they simply needed to stop the occasion. I'm of the sticks-and-stones school of thought," he said. "I needed to stop anybody being hit in light of the fact that the entire thing would have declined. I didn't think anybody would hit me so I felt very sheltered mediating. I talked a short time later; I was there for a long time." The college said it was trusted a little gathering of dissenters, who were not understudies at the college and did not have tickets to the occasion, broke into the address theater through the secondary passages, previously police and security were called.

"But instead than ending the occasion, or disregarding them, Mr Rees-Mogg moved toward them and strolled up to the back of the theater where they were and attempted to talk them down.
"Yet, by then different individuals from the group of onlookers got included too and that is the point at which this fight … happened and many individuals got included. It looked to me like Jacob Rees-Mogg himself got pushed and pushed, despite the fact that he demands he wasn't. In any case, it was an extremely forceful and surprising scene."
A post publicizing the occasion on the gathering's Facebook page stated: "This will be an opportunity to converse with an accomplished parliamentarian about the issues of the day, what it resembles to be a MP and how you can arrive, or maybe how precisely one articulates 'floccinaucinihilipilification'." The general public declined to remark on the episode.
