No shows

Well so far today I’ve had the disappointment of Ian Wright’s book signing being cancelled at the 11th hour and in the spirit of not turning up the SHAC protestors haven’t made an appearance either so today’s looking like I’ll have to give up on anything interesting happening and retire to the pub.

Or do some work.

Nah, probably pub.

I’ll let you know if there are any updates on either of the above.

UPDATE 1: 13:24 – A lone Policeman and some security people are waiting outside Moor House, apparently anticipating the arrival of the protest?

UPDATE 2: 14:07 They finally turned up at 13.50 with maybe 250ish people.

Everyone had cameras… the police, the protestors, the press, the curious…

Following on behind.

Ian Wright at Waterstones, London Wall

If you take your London Premiership football in red-and-white I thought you might like to know that former Gunner legend (185 goals in 279 starts for Arsenal), golden boot winner and TV personality will be signing copies of his new book, “Ian Wright’s Fitter Families“, at Waterstones on Friday lunchtime at 12.30. More details can be found here.

Coincidentally 12.30 is around the time that SHAC (“Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty”) should be heading past on their “City Shakedown“. The last time I saw them out-and-about a couple of years ago they were a handful of folks toting a megaphone and the wild-eyed aura that typically surrounds those who take their preaching to the open air. With some of their number enjoying Her Majesty’s Pleasure we’ll see what they’ve got left on Friday
