Boris getting abused

[PAH]

Clegg's been in brum today. Not only Boris that's been heckled:

From the BBC live riot update:

1607: Crowds boo Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg during a walkabout in Birmingham. Scores shout "go home" before he is ushered into a waiting car. As the car leaves New Street some of those gathered heckle "go on, run, run run".

Let's hope they're as brave if the scum rises up again later. Time for a smackdown. If the police won't do it I feel the public might.

Another update on the same feed:

1612: EasyJet says it has been inundated with calls from MPs trying to get home in time for Thursday's parliamentary debate. The airline sent an e-mail to MPs earlier today offering to help get them back to London and says that so far it has helped more than 60.

Easyjet?

Has this feed been hacked by the Daily Mash?

Get Ken back in, he won the Olympics and there was never any rioting when he way mayor.

If I remember correctly May day riots in London were much bigger.

Don't think Clegg was on holiday.

I remember hearing that William Hague was the most senior member of government available last week before the trouble started.

I then googled before I posted and yep the four I listed were all on holiday at the same time.

Clegg and May got back first.

If I remember correctly May day riots in London were much bigger.

Yeah but it was in one place.

This time the fear factor is caused by the fact no-one knows where it's going to kick off.
