Shoe Express

Watching GW Bush doging the flying size 10,s launched at him by an iraye Iraqi journalist, two things struck me. We all know the GWB is hardly the sharpest knife in the box, but surely it must have been clear to him after what was done to the overthrown statue of Saddam Hussein that in Arab culture, being attacked by shoes is a somewhat more serious insult then the two fingure salute.

The second thing that struck me was what if this form of protest catches on ?. You could have DEFRA officials who have annoyed the farming lobby being bombarded with green wellies. The defence minister having desert boots flung at him by irate squaddies and god help anyone who seriously upsets The English Collective Of Prostitutes.

Coming under attack from a hail of stillettoes could be a very painful experience indeed.
