Title: Tony Blair gets the Hershey treatment
Post by: swavesey on 19 May, 2004, 09:17:09 PM
Anybody seen the news yet. Tony got splatted by paint in front of his chums, just like the chief judge. What's the betting that the poor bastards who did it (with a genuine greivance) will be made an example.

Justice must be seen to be done....
I'm fairly sure our ridiculous laws mean you can be locked up indefinitely for a terrorist hoax.

Strange that Margeret Beckett, sitting behind Blair, just happened to wear a dress of the same colour, so it wouldn't stain her...

Fathers 4 Justice?  Isn't that Bou's mates?

Absolutely friggin hilarious. They get a tipoff that Anthrax might be thrown at them - the 'superb' anti-terrorist forces put up a big screen. They get stuff thrown at them anyway...

Not sure if it was Margaret Becket, think it might have been the delectible Una King (obviously no relation to Becket)

Not sure she was exactly "delectable".
Inflatable, possibly...

Of course the "poor bastards" should be made an example of - would you honestly expect to get away with hitting your Prime Minister with missiles?

However, the offence they have been charged with does not carry a jail sentence but a maximum fine of ?1000.

The men are members of the campaign group "Fathers 4 Justice", who want improved access to children for separated fathers.

Because they want this, they decided throwing coloured flour at Tony Blair and sparking a major security incident would be good publicity for them and their cause.

Unfortunately for them, they and their cause will be brushed swiftly aside in favour of further anti-terrorism moves and discussion over the security overhaul in the house of commons.

The Mirror ran the headline "If it was Anthrax, the government would have been wiped out!"

Anybody know where their next gig is?

Are these the same guys who dressed as superheroes and sat on that crane?
I wonder if such ridiculous protests detract from the original point - or if the media coverage makes it worthwhile. It's easy to see how politics and beauracracy could make people this desperate.
Nice to see they are comic book readers though - seem like fine father figures to me.

Fair point Mr Demoniser. But isn't it another case of the government putting up a smoke screen to avoid adressing real domestic social issues (like starting wars).

I think the man was a tad upset at the fact that Tony, on a live radio show, had promised to look into his case personally. That was 7 years ago...

Tony wrote to him.

He didn't like the answer.

I think Aung Sun Su Chi is pretty good looking - certainly by politician standards.
 THere`s an American woman I work with who thinks Tony Blair is HOT

 Oh and Natasha Scott Despoja is a bit of alright in an annoying,smarmy way (Australian Democrat pol. Gimmick, being young and wearing doctor Martens)

It was flour.  Some wag said they were throwing the ingredients of a pie to Prescott.


Some other wag once said that "Politics is show business for ugly people".  Got to agree with that.

you've ALL missed the point!
they threw a condom full of coloured flour (how do you color flour anway???), well if they'd used a condom properly in the first place there wouldnt be Fathers for justice!

BWAHAHA!
