   Such undiluted opprobrium at Blair and all his works was fun to see. The old   
   Bill, realising that on this occasion they were unlikely to hear civil   
   rights lawyers hurrying near lashed out like the police *force* they used to   
   be. I was cheering for the protestors obviously: all the mendacity, violence   
   and drug use this government has licensed and they're obsessed with banning   
   fox hunting? Fuck off mate...   
    Yes watching it made me chuckle rather. I don't think the BBC knew quite   
   what to do? Which way were they to throw bias? On one side were a bunch of   
   tories of all classes and on the other the fucking old bill!! Where were the   
   inner city ragamuffins? Where were their favourites? Nowhere to be seen. A   
   huge riot in the middle of multicultural London and it was an all white   
   affair. The news editors at the BBC London Local news must have been   
   scratching their heads: 'Where's the *angle* Jeremy?'
