Mammoliti: “Please get away from my space.”
Perks: “If you haven’t got the courage to stand up and debate this, leave.”
Mammoliti: “Please get away from my space. I’m asking you nicely. Please get away from my space.”
Perks: “This is the way you behave, you use your bully pulpit to try to intimidate the public service.”
Mammoliti: “I think that you are bullying me right now so please stop.”
Perks: “Unbelievable, you are destroying the public service in this city.”
