You say "Banker"


The smug banker stands in the sunshine outside Barclays looking at the Climate Camp protest against Barclays' involvement in the arms trade and in coal. He tells me "I've made £12m for the bank and had 7 pints today." Then he licks his Cornetto and pokes out his tongue before strolling off with his mates.

Lullaby of Birdland


It's not the Blair Witch Project come to Kent, it's just the real face of the countryside where your dinner gets made.

Possibly time to go eat worms


A long and fruitless night, hungry and dehydrated trying to get a glimpse of the virulently anti-Semitic Imam Sheikh Abdur Rahman al-Sudais (see http://bit.ly/3SXtt7) who was conducting evening prayers at the mosque in Whitechapel, London.

With a crowd of more than 12,000 jamming the streets he easily nipped in, had a quick pray and nipped out again without being seen by me or any of my hawk-eyed spotters.

All I got was the fan base awaiting his arrival and looking at me without showing a great deal of love for my presence.

Win some, lose some.
