Police pay demonstration 23rd January 2008-01-23

Had a chat with Tony Ben.
He’s been bugged by the police over his career but still finds the time to turn up at the demo in their baseball cap.
He was voicing his surprise at the current policy of alienating the police force.

I took my kid to see him talk many years ago when she was two.
After I asked her what she thought of him. She replied that he was’ ruff and sticky’.

Had the urge several times to shout 'Anyone have the time?' during the march.
The pubs round westminster did not know what hit them by lunch time.

A strange day?On a scale of 1 to 10 it was a 23.

I was very interested in what would happen when we entered the demonstration exclusion zone, the sky didn’t fall down but it was full of choppers, you could cut the atmosphere outside the home office with a knife.

Nick Robinson looking genuine thrown as a tsunami of white baseball caps swept around him. I think he was trying to find one of them to talk to him.

There was such a feeling of uncertainty, like watching a giant pack of sheep dogs herd each other.

I had been in a riot after a demonstration on the same spot that was police charged on horseback.
They took to it like ducks to water.

Weirdness alert on red.

I was invited to come and observe the march by artist and WPC ‘X’.
On the way down to London on the coach, my national express bus was passed by coach’s full of hung over, confused, jolly and apprehensive police.
They were unmistakeable.
The people that will walk into rock clubs with creases in there trousers.
. A text exchange with ‘X’ confirmed that her coach load of cops had already been mooned at by another coach load of cops on the motorway.

As I came round the corner of Achilles way, It’s hard to describe the shock of being among so many policemen.

The past is an alien planet.The village of Muff.

I think the village of muff is loseing out on tourist trade.Its the only place in southern irland,(thats directly north from the walled city over the border in donegal) that you cant even get a postcard, let alone a plastic lepracorn with 'Present from Muff' written on it.This is the post office. The have a festival you know..http://www.mufffestival.com/.
Oh yea, and the women in comfi shoes, came and were disapointed.

Two papers on a bar in NI.One the daily Mail the other the irish news.Had to drink guinnis to get over shock.

The past is an alien planet

Day before I left I took this in the park. The next day I would fly to the walled city to attend a family wedding. I was a bit worried, the wedding will cross the religious divide, and many members of the family were still feeling bereaved at the loss of a close relative to me. The walled city airport is tiny, the sunlight disorientated me as we got off the plane, in my memorise of staying hear it always seemed to piss with rain.
The only bloody country to get a positive result out of global warming. The air force is no longer contacted by distressed house wife’s thinking they are seeing UFOs when the sun comes out.
