Labour MP Frank Field has complained angrily to Green Party leader Natalie Bennett over claims a Green protester tried to photograph him after he had a heart attack . There were fears for veteran campaigner Field ’ s life when he collapsed at a rowdy meeting in his Birkenhead constituency last weekend . Field , 72 , recovered after being taken to hospital . But Labour supporters claim Green activist Colin Dow tried to photograph him as he lay on the floor unconscious waiting for an ambulance . MP Frank Field has complained to Green Party leader Natalie Bennett over claims a Green protester tried to take a photograph of him after he had a heart attack . ‘ To take a photo of someone who has just had a heart attack would be a despicable thing to do , ’ Mr Field told The Mail on Sunday . ‘ Some members of the Green Party are the kind of people who infiltrated the Labour party in Merseyside years ago . We got rid of them and some have resurfaced in the Greens . This kind of behaviour has no place in public life . ‘ Everyone thinks the Greens are cuddly and fluffy but the truth is very different . It is high time Natalie Bennett denounced them. ’ The incident occurred during a meeting hosted by Mr Field to discuss plans to sell-off of the site of Rock Ferry High School . Green activists , including Mr Dow , led protests . ‘ Had I been closer , I would have taken a picture , ’ Colin Dow said . Mr Field said : ‘ I told the police I did not want the protesters to force the meeting to be stopped . I was happy to continue . Later , I felt chest pains and collapsed. ’ Mr Dow , a former Labour party member , last night confirmed he took his camera out when Mr Field collapsed but was told by a Labour councillor not to take a picture . He said he complied but denied he was being ‘ insensitive ’ as it was a public meeting . ‘ Had I been closer , I would have taken a picture , ’ he said . He claimed others present did take photographs , and he hit back at Mr Field on his Facebook site , challenging the former Labour Minister ’ s ‘ imagined version ’ . He said the MP behaved ‘ insultingly ’ towards protesters .
