Peelers lose the plot.

It's my habit these days to make an early morning cup of builders and, drifting in and out of sleep, listen to the farming news and Today program. At one stage this morning I woke to hear the news that the police had used CS gas to break up a disturbance at the Palace of Westminster. Blimey! I thought. Some of those rabid anarchists I've been reading about must have stormed parliament.

But no. The Bill had actually used CS gas to break up a drunken scuffle between a few journalists.

Have the peelers finally lost the plot? And what does tomorrow hold?
