Spotted earlier this week: Everybody’s favourite party chairman and deputy leader candidate Hazel Blears trying to sneak a short cut across Parliament Square only to get trapped like a bunny in car lights by anti-war protester Brian Haw.
With Haw brandishing his giant laminate of a baby deformed by depleted uranium and with an equally graphic companion, poor Blears didn’t stand a chance. Running from one side of the square to the other, she tried her best to shake off her persistent protestors, but they kept close on her heels; posters at the ready and closely emulating Lib Dem election campaigners only swapping ‘winning here’ with ‘murderer’ and ‘coward’.
Protestors of all hues have long suspected the lack of pedestrian crossings from Parliament Square to be a deliberate omission to hinder their progress. But this week Blears discovered that worked both ways. Perhaps she’ll think twice before opting to shortcut the tourist throng in future. Or before voting for an illegal war.
