Green Custard

Protestor arrest over slim on Mandelson


The woman who threw green custard on Lord Peter Mandelson last week has been arrested it has been said by the Scottish Yard. Leila Dean who is 29 and is a protestor for climate change was angry when Lord Mandelson announced plans to lower carbon strategy resolution. It is believed that she was angry as she felt that it was only to benefit him and that he was a liar. She threw green custard over him, which it is believed caused skin irritation. She shouted, "the only thing green about you is the blood running in your veins".


While it may seem to some that he got exactly what he deserved, as he not what you would call the most popular of men, it would show that the security is not really stronger enough that she was able to get through in the first place.


The attack is quite similar to what happened to John Prescott when he was attacked by a general election campaigner named Craig Evans who threw an egg at him. He resulted in turning around and starting a fight with him. I would say that it is too right for someone to want to defend himself. In truth it could have been absolutely anything that was thrown at him. It is only human instinct to react to these things.


The reports have stated that the police thought it was funny that Mandelson was attacked which makes me feel slightly bad that the security and police around him where so unprofessional. It must be days like these that makes Peter Mandelson wish he had stayed away from politics after resigning twice already.
