Leila De...Ohh get a sense of proportion, Anonymous. Leila Deen could not even get herself arrested when she threw, and hit, Lord Mandelson with green custard recently. It's a sense of proportion that is needed. The disproportionately severe three year sentence has called the infant US backed democratic Iraqi government into disrepute. Check out the reaction there. <BR/><BR/>On the separate note of you and your partner, if you threw shoes at her, and missed or caused no harm, (though technically a common assault), I very much doubt if the police would be interested. Again, a sense of proportion is required.LAMBCUThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17240290996221102046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686354713190138224.post-5888771367934428302009-03-13T19:54:00.000+13:002009-03-13T19:54:00.000+13:00yes, of course- let's encourage everybody to throw...yes, of course- let's encourage everybody to throw their shoes at a HEAD OF STATE whenever they get frustrated.<BR/><BR/>I am sure the Queen would be quite happy to be the next target. Perhaps Medvedev would like to volunteer as well.<BR/><BR/>It is not the victim of this assault (with a weapon) that was the issue, it was the fact that he was the Head of State of a Sovereign Nation. That position is due respect, regardless of whether one agrees or not with their politics. Had it been a simple politician then maybe your allowance of an assault by shoe (which if I did to my partner would get me in a great deal of hot water) would be ok. But this wasn't.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
