A judge has issued a warrant for the arrest of ex-boxer Chris Eubank after he failed to turn up to court over an unlawful protest in Whitehall.
Eubank was charged after he tried to park his seven-tonne truck outside the gates to Downing Street in May in protest at UK policy in Iraq.

its nice and easy to type derogatory comments anonymously. Are you suggesting that because Eubank is famous he must loose his right to freedom of speech

This isn't exactly the first, second, third, ... time he has acted in this manner towards citizens carrying out their duties, hopefully Eubanks (or his representatives) will be making the unlawfulness of such warrant and imprisonment clear, not only to Snow but also to the higher courts.
Good luck for the hearings.
As for criticism of anyone opposing such illegal legislation and wars, I hardly think it matters who's involved as long as someone is doing something - try criticising the illegal use of force by the police, security services, courts (esp. City of Westminster Magistrates') and worse of all, Parliament. Put your efforts into something useful, like that, instead.
Power to the People.

Why should I give a toss about some rich wanker who parks his SUV outside Number 10 for a publicity stunt? At the end of the day, his credentials are no greater those of Geldof et al...
