User 'anonymous' did: report at Fri Aug 21 19:17:14 +0000 2009.<br/> true true <p>normally on wednesday mornings, barriers are placed along the pavements around parliament - this is some sort of security operation around prime minister's question time, although what it is supposed to actually achieve is anybody's guess. <br /><br />this particular wednesday of course, gordon brown is in america, so it would seem even more pointless.<br /><br />normally the barriers are placed without fuss, but this morning there was some sort of altercation, and one of the workers assaulted brian, causing an injury to the hand that brian burnt when he saved a tamil protester from burning himself alive last week (see story at http://london.indymedia.org.uk/articles/783). <br /><br />although brian's hand was quite visibly bleeding after the attack, police arrived at the scene and arrested brian, letting the the attacker get away. witnesses say that they feel brian was arrested to cover up the assault.<br /><br />a solicitor from bindman's is presently trying to find out which police station brian has been taken to, and whether he has been formally charged with anything.</p> rikkiindymedia(At)gmail[dot]com 2009-03-04T11:37:56+00:00 805 promoted rikki false

<p><i>brian was assaulted by a worker putting up barriers in parliament square this morning. his hand was bleeding after the attack, but rather than arrest the culprit, or even (in case of doubt) both, they've instead arrested brian, supposedly for the theft of a key! solicitors are trying to find his whereabouts.</i></p>
