He's strapping himself to it and there are police cars gathering.

Outside M&S in Oxford Street. It's swaying a bit.

So it's not Vincent Bethell then? He's an idol of mine. Nothing to do with his cause, I must add. His beard.

He's probably celebrating the fact that tax-free betting has been extended to bingo.

Okay, back from the window now. Political activist, he's just unfurled a banner saying "Israel is a terrorist state". There are other people handing out leaflets in the crowd now. He's having a few problems unfurling the banner in the wind. Two police men sitting on the bonnet of their car talking to his fellow protester who's smoking a roll up.

Sounds like that Omar Bakri guy.

Okay, now he's started shouting about media lies in the Independant. Can't really make out what he's saying from up here, but he got a round of aplause from the crowd. Oh except from an American/Canadian girl who has stomped off shouting 'fuck you, fuck you, it's all shit.'

Does this take you back to your "NEWS REPORTING" days? Apparently the key is to actually write about what's happening.

― Ronan, Wednesday, 17 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Yes it's rather fun, I haven't done live copy in ages.

Just call me Anna Nova.

Anna Fielding has left the thread, good night, you've been a wonderful audience.

How could you tell she was dual citizenship?

― Dare, Wednesday, 17 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

If I had the sense/nerve to spend half of my working day on ILX, I could have strolled round from Tottenham Court Road and watched this as it happened. Damn.

― Martin Skidmore, Wednesday, 17 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Is the guy still there?
