new stunt coming?

Well now we know:

Meanwhile, outside, UKIP staffers were getting arrested for parading an inflatable bulldozer without a permit (they have inflatable bulldozer permits in Belgium?). The MEPs, as they tend to do in UKIP, walked free.

The police commander told Mr Farage that "you will go to a cell for 12 hours and then we will sort it out." He later threatened to arrest everyone in the area, including civil servants and members of the press.

Let's hope that jerks the slumbering press into reporting it well then.

The NAZI's and the Stasi are alive and well then

It would have got some coverage if they had forced the police to arrest them.

It's not too late. They could try and liberate the inflatiable.

Is that a criticism?

Not at all, it is unfair to expect anyone to want to be arrested. I was just commenting that it would have been publicised, whereas an inflatable bulldozer isn't very different to an armoured car being parked outside...

In other words it isn't 'newsworthy' because it isn't new.
