Bush gets the finger.
Woman gives her verdict on US foreign policy.
Outside the fence.
Not an unreasonable request.
Lebanese.
Barrier is flatened by bizzare blurry thing.
Police radio in for new barrier.
New barrier arrives.
Another thing that annoys many Londoners is the fact that the US Embassy operates the same kind of two tier approach to London as the US operates abroad. On one hand the Embassy staff use their diplomatic immunity to avoid paying the congestion charge and their parking tickets. On the other the bill for militarizing Grosvenor Square and protecting the place is paid by us! Dozens of very bored and miserable looking cops were stuck inside a cage surrounding the place. At one point some protesters tried to liberate the trapped pork by pulling the barriers away. The final fence proved too much for them and the detainees inside made no attempt to escape. Oh well next time.....
