did anyone see BBC breakfast,some woman has just thrown green goo at Peter Mandelson!

[wrinklytum]

Very bizarre!

Did she hit her target?

As long as its not toxic am I allowed to snigger?

was it guacamole or mushy peas?

it was green custard.

green as in gone mouldy or green as in green dye?

Sagacious - I think you can snigger in any event

That was very funny!

I wonder if he thought it was avocado dip. (12-year-old vintage joke.)

Apparently it was green custard

Saw this later in the day on Sky when waiting to go into the meeting. Now I positively CANNOT STAND Mandy, but I had to reluctantly admit he was very cool about it, handled it well, in fact so well, couldn't help wondering if it as a stunt he set up ( conspiracy theorsit, moi? )

UQD - he actually referred to that old chestnut as well!

It's strange, I should have found this amusing but I saw the clip and actually found it really unpleasant. It takes a lot to make me feel sorry for mandy but she managed it! She stepped right up to him, said his name then threw it right into his face - it wasn't hurled from the sidelines.

Where did she find green custard?

she had added some dort of dye I beleive. I can't believe she wasn't arrested for assault, because that's what it was.

Whatever her beliefs I think that was disgusting behaviour. She is very lucky he didn't push for her to get arrested for assault.

He might be a complete twat but that doesn't mean you can go round flinging god knows what at him. She was very close, he's lucky she didn't have a knife or have sulphuric acid in that pot.

She was the Plane Stupid girl - Leila something - same one who was on Jezza Vine's show a couple of months ago. I only know that from a later interview. Her assault on Lord Peter Flimsy didn't exactly get her point across.

I am not a fan of Mandy but I really disagree with what she did and she should definitely have been arrested for assault. TV also shouldn't have interviewed her.

extremelychocolateymilkroll I agree

i think we're bored of middle class protestors

lol my first thought is 'how can these people support themselves to devote their lives to direct protest'

I'm so glad I'm not the only person whose first thought was 'she sounds like a middle class twunt'. And then discounted her protest because of it...

It is wrong, and people shouldn't do things like this, but hey if you are going to throw green custard at someone then it may as well be Mandleson!

i was very surprised she wasn't arrested. Dislike PM intensely though.
