Stuff and soforth

Tony Blair: leaked Palestinian Papers have been "destabilising... If people in the Middle East didn't know we were shafting them they'd have to guess, and guessing is difficult and time consuming". I might have paraphrased a little.

Dave Gilmour's son Charlie Gilmour has been charged with "violent disorder and theft of a mannequin leg". The mannequin was described as "hopping mad". Boom, boom! But seriously, you forget how scabby the Graun can be sometimes. I see on the front page of the website it's got a story mentioning names and addresses of students being charged after demos last year. One student is being charged with "causing fear of unlawful violence", which would be funny if it weren't a serious matter for him... Still, it's good to be reminded how shit the Guardian can be.

Still, the Graun's got a live feed of events in Egypt. My favourite, so far, the police station (and torture base) in Suez being burned to the ground. Moar plz. Here's the IST statement on the situation.
