"Twenty or 30 years ago an audacious protest like that by Greenpeace would have been seen for exactly that. But what if these had been suicide bombers?"
Er...suicide bombers have no interest in climbing to the top of Big Ben. If you blew up the top of the sodding clock you would kill very few people. Can we get our priorities straight, please?
And, whilst dealing with the news - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/3556021.stm - I had absolutely no idea that the EU was subsidising tobacco growers. Can we say "fucked up"?
