BBC have put video of the incident on their news homepage now:

It's a little muddy though, I'm going to have another look from the Broadband console when I get home (BBC won't let me access it from work :( )

I think that although i agree with the cause this is a stupid thing to do and it just pathitic you would hope that a good cause was above this sort of thing.

Far more worrying is the fact that they got to him

Disgraceful behaviour by the police, IMO.

Oh excellent!! I forgot all about the trial. I'm so glad he got off.

Why is it stupid?

Why is it pathetic?

I would say that they have scored (another) massive PR coup, and once again without actually hurting anyone.

They certainly did - in this picture the missile just bounces off the PM's back and lands near Gordon Brown's feet.

I think harmlessly stopping democracy in progress for a day is a perfectly apt way of going about it considering that the fathers have been denied democracy and justice for so many years.

It is good for the government this has happened. It is much better than the flaw was discovered by someone from F4J, and not Al Qaeda.

Althought you would have thought it shouldn't have happened at all. I can't believe the reaction of the ministers. Given the terror situation, the powder could of been anything, and noone seemed to have cared.

Edit: I wish I could rep Flubflow for that post, but i've got to spread it around first. Good post though mate

Virgin Radio News have just reported that they were signed into the public gallery by a member of the House of Lords.

I sense a big fuss about to start!

Wicked, only wished it was a gunpowder plot kind of issue that we could have wiped a lot of politicians out and start afresh with ppl with good ideas.

Apparently the area of the Gallery that you have to be invited into is not screened, which is why the Lord who signed them in is being asked to explain himself... :disturbd:
