Tony Blair's Commemorative bench removed

http://www.dontpaniconline.com/magazine/power/tony-blairs-commemorative-bench-removed An update on the bench in the private park outside Tony Blair's house that we commemorated to those killed and tortured in his 'War on Terror'... THEY REMOVED THE ENTIRE THING! Slightly annoying - we wanted to have an official unveiling ceremony. Don't know why they had to remove the entire thing. Maybe that No More Nails is even tougher than we thought. Or maybe it was one of those OCD things... Tony was like, "No just get rid of it! Get rid of the whole thing. It's ruined now, totally ruined!" Seems a bit of a waste of taxpayers' money if you ask me. Original film below.

Who are they?
From PR Week 13 May 2009
DONT PANIC - Free design magazine and website owns up to recent political stunts
Who are the web barons?
Heydon Prowse is the head honcho of the free culture and design publication and website, distributed in venues across the globe. He is joined by assistant editor James Read, ‘rogue element’ Keiron Monks and promoter Jessica Allen.
Get the tone right
Recent escapades from the team include cleaning Barbara Follett’s windows, after the MP claimed £1,600 for window cleaners. Aside from political stunts, Don’t Panic is looking for interesting interviews with film-makers, musicians and artists. ‘Don’t fob us off with press shots and releases,’ says Prowse.
Approachability
‘We have loving relationships with PROs that go beyond the call of duty,’ says Prowse. ‘Although I am getting used to offending PR friends when they approach us with rubbish.’

So. basically, more bullshit media spectacle that creates web presence and profits from almost zero political savvy. Nice indeed. Free advertising essentially for DONT PANIC.
Hardly likely that a bunch of media clowns will get in much trouble if they go to far with the politics.
Etc etc.
Miserable Bore
I went to the unveiling and was nicked!

A wee bit of intelligent humour is a good thing, it lubricates the self-satisfied, always critical yet always inactive wankers in our ranks. My only criticism of Don't Panic is they didn't deliver on their naked-porn-on-the-MP's-lawn promise. Real activists shed their clothes without any PR, prick teasers.
