Moment pro-Gaza students harass Jacob Rees-Mogg hurling vicious foul-mouthed ... trends now
Pro-Palestine students 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 security to a campus vehicle as students surrounded him shouting 'Free Palestine' and waving Palestinian flags.
The students, who were banging drums and shaking tambourines, were calling for a ceasefire in Gaza and shouted 'shame on you'.
Two students even attempted to get closer to the vehicle carrying the North East Somerset MP before being dragged backed back by security staff.

Conservative Party Chairman Richard Holden, branded the group of students '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.'
It comes just weeks after Tory Senedd Member Natasha Asghar was confronted by students calling for a ceasefire whilst giving a talk at the university.
Ms Asghar, who said she was also called a 'murderer', voted against a motion in the House of Commons in November which called for a ceasefire in the conflict between Israel and Gaza.
In videos shared on social media, a student standing inside the room questioned her on why she didn't support a pause in hostilities.
The politician could be heard replying: 'If you aim for the moon, you will land amongst the stars, have you heard that saying before? Why can you not aim for peace; a ceasefire will naturally occur.'

In a statement on X/Twitter at the time, Ms Asghar said: 'Whilst I accept people have the right to protest, the scenes which unfolded at Cardiff University last night were totally unacceptable... chanting all sorts of hateful messages including calling me a ''murderer'', ramming doors to try to gain access to the room I was in, and pounding on the walls from start to finish is absolutely uncalled for.
'Despite repeated attempts to explain my point of view following last week's vote, and answer their questions, many of the protesters simply would not listen and engage and instead continued disrupting the event because they didn't like my answers.'
She said she felt sorry for the students in the room who had a 'passion for politics,' adding: 'It was an absolute joy to speak to students from the Politics Society, who asked me some fantastic questions, and I have no doubt many of them have bright careers ahead of them in the political arena.'
Ms Asghar is of Pakistani descent and the first ethnic female member of the
