One of Britain’s leading anti-terrorism lawyers has offered to mount a private prosecution for assault against the steward who manhandled Walter Wolfgang from the conference.

James Lewis, QC, who is representing the American Government in the extradition case against the extremist muslim cleric Abu Hamza, said that he would represent Mr Wolfgang free of charge.

Thug Life

The bloke who assaulted the old man probably done him a favour and the public.

He looked like one of Snoop Dogs security guards. Hired thugs of course, but new labour have made their bones and need protecting. Thats why a 22 stone man mountain was onto that frail old bloke.

If this Wolfgang does not know new labour is fascist by now - the poor bloke never will. This time its not Hitler hating the Jews, its Blair hating the Muslims and working class and anyone not middle class and kissing Blair arse.

Wolfgang is 84, he should have more sense. He saw fascism in his youth but cannot recognise it in his old age. He walks into a conference organised by a new labour party that LIED to start a war, and expects what exactly? Does he think anyone there gave a shit about the truth? He was in the audience, new labour don't do question and answer sessions at closing speeches. He knew the rules. He knows that his opinion does not matter one iota to the leadership.

He is lucky he never had a backpack on or got near Blair - he could have been shot.

He's had his 15 minutes fame and taken the spotlight off far more importent things than one man being ejected from somewhere.

I think you have rather missed the point, Bliar whatever. Wolfgang's one line has had almost as much effect at bringing home to the public at large the depths of fascism this govt has now reached as the 'G8 deflection' 7/7 bombings did.

The chat in pubs and worksites seems to be expressing almost as much outrage, however unbalanced and incomparable the two atrocities really are...

And Charles de Menezes? Have you noticed how much more low-profile 'our' armed police have been since that appalling 'error'? A mere lull in the ongoing storm against civil liberties and real justice.

Wake up. Stand up and SHOUT - it's almost too late already...

Man of Courage

New Labour have been exposed and it took an old man with the courage of his convictions to reveal the true face of fascism in this country. Despite being a life-long Labour member, Mr. Wolfgang alone had the guts to contradict Jack Straw's lying speech and oppose their illegal war stance.

The over-reaction of the stewards proved we are as far removed from a democracy as the Third Reich, but the government has to pretend it's acting in our best interests, because they need the people's consent for every totalitarian goose-step towards a police state, which we readily give.

Now we know that dissent equates with terrorism, it's time to refuse I.D.'s, demand our troops are brought home, resist escalting the war into Iran or Syria, and arrest the Labour Party and all it's supporters for crimes against humanity and contravention of International Law.

Lessons will be learned


the view from the chip shop

I stopped off at my local chip shop on the way home the other day. I raised the case of the George Fox Six in Lancaster, students convicted for protesting at the University. The proprietor's first response was "They're professional protesters are they?". I told him about the case, and added a couple of other facts like the banning of all protests within a kilometre (what happened to miles?) of Parliament. Our 2 minute conversation ended with his saying "We're sliding into a police state you know, I've always said it..."
