The Tory MP had given an address to the university’s Conservative and Unionist Association, flanked by security.

Outside, students waved Palestine flags gathered to chant hostile slogans including “Tory c--t”.
Dramatic video footage then shows that when Mr Rees-Mogg left the building after his speech and made his way to a car, screaming protesters swarmed him and security guards were forced to push them back.
Sam Baron, a student, said the protesters had prevented him from entering the building where Mr Rees-Mogg was giving the address.
“These far left, anti democracy bullies stopped my attendance despite me obtaining tickets,” he said.
Jake Enea, vice-president of the university’s Conservative and Unionist Association, said: “This does not represent the people of Cardiff and Cardiff University.
“Truly disgraceful and I hope Jacob Rees-Mogg is ok.”
Mr Rees-Mogg has not publicly commented on the incident.
