Somebody threw some powder at him, serves him right, they should have thrown hamster shit as well.

Er... not quite, el ted. Witchcraft instead of spin? Cromwell yes. Churchill maybe. Not Maggie though.

No, no, jOhn! You cannot expect a thread with someone controversial like Tony Blair in it to only net a single post. No way. You should have picked a much blander subject than that.

But it was a lovely purple colour.

A very restrained response by campaigners to politicians who smugly sit on their tockusses and blank demands for reform of a major injustice. Where is Guy Fawkes when you need him?

It's madness. They sealed the public galleries to protect Parliament and then auction a ticket in front of the glass to the highest bidder.
It would have served them right if he'd been a terrorist and had murdered the lot of them instead of a father fighting for justice.

The people were there at Baroness Golding's invitation...., and she is 'deeply distressed' at this.

Another thing was, was that the politicians immediately evacuated the chamber.
I they had have been contaminated, the first thing they should have done as stayed exactly where they were.

It didn't enter anybody's head that they should do this

And that is an even bigger security breach, in my opinion.

... sorry. Third line should read: If they had have been contaminated, the first thing they should have done was to have stayed exactly where they were.

I guess purple powder on the collar looks better than dandruff.

Were the condoms 'used', before they threw them, I wonder??
(the protesters lobbed condoms filled with self-raising flour, dyed purple)

I understand the purple had more blue in it than red.

"Hooray!!!!!!

No, I think that over in the US they take the personal security of their head of state a bit more seriously.

As for your "Hooray!!!!!!" and the implied desire to see a similar incident involving GWB - You would probably be the loudest in the cries of outrage and indignation, when the poor fool who attempted such a thing gets shot.

Agree totally with what Jim McCallan had to say regarding response. Simple fact of the matter is that in this day and age such an act of "protest" should not be possible in the House of Commons.

And to add a bit of a musical bent. (Don't you DARE say bent what!)

Jim McC says -
The people were there at Baroness Golding's invitation

Any relation to the highwayman as in

I robbed Lord Golding I do declare
and Lady Mansell in Grosvenor Square


Just wondered (as is my bent once more...)

Great parody of Purple Rain by Mitch Benn on It's Been A Bad Week on BBC Radio 2 last night. Catch the repeat on Saturday afternoon.

Perhaps if politicians were prevented from having security much less lethal security they would pay more attention to what people thought.   Or to justice.
