owl | George W is in Hillsborough

We saw Bush's helicopters flying around today, a Chinook and three ordinary ones. Hillsborough was totally locked down, nothing in or out (except some more crazy war protesters on a bicycle). I saw the steel barriers up when I was coming home at the weekend, but it never clicked. It must be a pain to live in Hillsborough, not that I could afford it in any foreseeable future.
More protests in Belfast, the RUC, sorry, the PSNI dragging folk off the streets, some kid in a school uniform (bet his teachers were mad) complaining that he'd been sat on, a guy yelling "you scum, I have a right to protest!" (some things never change), oh joy.
I'm going up to uni tomorrow, hopefully the craziness shall be over.
