Hazel Blears's car smashed up while she speaks to voters

[RichardCranium]

Blimey, she's had some work done on that face.

"while she canvassed voters" - so she hasn't pissed off then? What a parasite.

"Between 5pm and 6.15pm, offenders had smashed the windscreen of a parked grey Citroen Xsara Picasso and slashed all four tyres. No-one was injured in the incident and officers are now investigating."

There's a point at which protest becomes mindless violence. Assuming the reporting of GMP is accurate - this crosses the line.

A ginger pixie the lady might be, compounded by her NuLabourishness, but physical attacks are not on.

I still don’t understand how they are going to fight and then find peace. I cannot condone this mindess wiolence.

You are not seeing what Chetty is writing because he is being on your ignoring list!

[NotAllThere]

...You will find that modern policing methods do not encompass the ability to prevent a riot from happening,....

Yep. They're not allowed to shoot the ringleaders as soon as the crowd gathers.

Couple of letters I liked in the Times (and I'm paraphrasing)

1. You have the right to peaceful protest - I have the right not to be spat on on my way to work just because I'm wearing a suit.

2. What do you prefer? Kettling, or being shot at with rubber bullets and water cannon?

[Evil Hangover]

This sort of thing happens every day up and down the UK. Poor Hazel, my heart bleeds

No police on the street, no powers to convict the little rascals either.

For the greater, wider population - what it's worth, that's definitely NOT "Chettys" picture.

The chap in the picture works for FICO in Bangalore - I know this because he was my analyst on a gig in China in 2007, and his name's Puneet.

You're not in anyway trying to suggest that chetty is not real are you?

He seems so genuine - I know, I use to watch it ain't half hot mum so speak with great experience on this issue.

We used to have this Indian dude who used to pronounce his Ws as Vs and his Vs as Ws. He used to refer to the mainframe as the wax wee m s. Piss funny.

Nothing wrong with being ginger.

Can't say I agree with the violence either. Where would we stop !
