Apparently you work in the liberal media as well. Thanks for the extra details - found this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Wolfgang
I'm not impressed by his age - perhaps I'm not afflicted with agism, or perhaps it comes from seeing too many cases of elder protesters pulling out the age card when they're busted for trespassing. From my many years in the Pacific North West I had become inured to the antics of the "Raging Grannies", just one of the many groups of neo-hippie malcontents, who are well-schooled in the arts of protest and organized anarchy (how's that for an oxymoron?). Mr Wolfgang paints a familiar picture - a fervent socialist with 5 decades of social activism to his name. He heckled Jack Straw, not Blair and was detained when he tried to re-enter on a voided security pass. If you truly believe that was due to the machinations of Blair et al, then you must have an inordinate faith in the efficiencies of government bureaucracies. I personally don't believe Big Brother is quite so on-the-ball. More likely it was a jumpy security guy, which is all the more likely considering it happened just a couple of months after the wave of London bombings.

Look mate, a whole country watched in horror as a doddery old man was dragged, not escorted, dragged from the conference by Blair's Brown Shirts for shouting the word 'nonsense' during Oberführer Straws speech. What you have written makes you appear not only naive but a supporter of what is being more commonly referred to as Police State, more widely in the 'free' world, the New World Order.

neo-hippie malcontents who object to the murder in IRAQ, well, I guess I must be one of them then, I shall await the Jack-Boots kicking down my door with your blessing then.
You are the first person I have ever heard backing the treatment of Walter Wolfgang and the behaviour of the Brown Shirts outside the British Reich, maybe this is divide and conquer. Scary. I hope you are dusting off you Lederhosen, your time is coming!
