Oh please, this Peter fellow says that Martin must apologose ' unconditionally" yet, he makes his own statement that such abusive behavious will not be condoned , subject to the rider that Martin was provoked. Also, if there was cause for Martin to apologise unconditionally, it means the opposition parties had just cause to walk out - no -one can be compelled to sit and listen to insults.
This Peter chap is a prize chump.

Peacocks with scruffy feet. Very descriptive of so many of our politicians, is it not?

PigSty, I would imagine a beautiful male peacock, in all its bright colour, with its feet still standing in the dirt, scratching around for something to eat. In other words, you might appear professional, but you're just a dirt scratcher.

I hold no brief for the opposition. What is interesting though is that the ANC is a party of peacocks that are about to become feather dusters. Watch the political space!
