Purple Powder hits Blair
The House of Commons has been suspended during Prime Minister's question time after what appeared to be purple powder was thrown at Tony Blair.

Somehow I don't think it will prove to be fatal.

Most amusing it was too.

Re: Purple Powder hits Blair
Actually I think the act was very childish and people fail to realise the implications of such a security breach.

That the security will be improved? Or that some guy will get a stern telling-off?

Re: Purple Powder hits Blair
It was thrown from a special part of the gallery, which is reserved for MP's special guests, etc. It appears that one of the Lords signed in the person who threw it.
The usual bog standard visitors gallery already has a big ****-off security screen installed.
Looks like his noble Lordship will be for the chop.

Oh, it was Baroness Golding, apparently. Whoever the hell she is.
Oh, and it was a condom. Purple powder in a condom.
This must be the first time that a full condom has ever graced TB's back, I'm sure of it.

Re: Purple Powder hits Blair
Must have been a pathetically thin low grade condom then?

Re: Purple Powder hits Blair
Well, you can't place much faith in the condom department in an organisation that even appears unable or unwilling to spell 'for' correctly.
Apparently they want equality for fathers, but refuse to practise adequate sexual precautions.

Re: Purple Powder hits Blair
Great, i'm sure this is just the excuse they need to turn parliament into a castle and make it so you have to have a full body cavity search to get into the galleries fs.
Either that or just close them altogether
(the galleries, not the body cavities.)

Isn't this the same group that did the Batman and Robin stunt several months back?

Yay for people with brains!
Live in a country which is probably reasonably high up the list for revenge attacks by terrorists etc, powder thrown into the room with the legislators of the country in, and all they do is stand there and try to waft it away.
