Mr Steenson said the incident won’t deter him from campaigning. “It won’t deter us. I’ve faced down bigger people than that in the whole of my lifetime. The guards were on the ball. I can’t fault them for that. Had my wife or someone else opened the door it could have been a lot different. Thankfully nobody was injured.”
