Arrest that woman!

">

This woman had a point to make but this was not the way to do it. Mandelson had good cause to retaliate (a la Prescott and the egg incident) but he didn't. On the other hand she should be charged with assault.

Perhaps chucking herself under a race horse would have been better. After 12 years of this bunch and an un-elected PM and Trade Minister, what else is left?

It is that frustration with the system that leaves so few options, and effectively none that can achieve anything, that occasionally drives people to go to such lengths.

I don't agree with it myself, and tend to think it is counter-productive as it merely gives the gov't an excuse to tighten up security in general (i.e. way beyond ministerial protection).

At least, the lady concerned wasn't remanded in custardy…
