Aide-de-Camp

I once wrote that Alistair Campbell (Tony Blair's press secretary) would have swum the English Channel with an anvil on his back, if such a deed was necessary to fulfil his role as the Prime Minister's aide-de-camp. 

But this is as nothing compared to the lengths that some people are prepared to go to including Yusuf Yerkel who is seen here sticking the boot into a protester during a visit to the site of the Soma mining disaster in the western Turkey.

Now the security people seem to have the situation under control, but Yusuf is clearly  the kind of person who leaves nothing to chance.

Yusuf Yerkel, by the way, is a special advisor to the Turkish Prime Minister, Recep Erdogan.
