G20 Live Twitter transcript
What a day…
- I don’t want to say the Met is racists but Barack Obama got stopped four times on the way to Downing Street. ‘Is this your vehicle, sir?’ #
- I think the crowd control expert now speaking on BBC News might actually be salivating… #
- It’s like the Day Today, isn’t it? Any minute it’s going to be ‘YES! THERE IT IS. IT’S WAR!’ #
- The news channel should just cut to the chase and give the police stage directions. ‘Could you look a bit more surly, love?’ #
- Oh no, oh no. There we have it. A Sky News camera crew have attacked the CNN team who were ruining their shot! This is terrible. A disgrace. #
- There’s Kay Burley being dragged unconscious from the melee. What a dark day for British journalism. Their bloodlust writ large… #
- There’s the BBC’s Ben Brogan stripped to the waist screaming ‘COME ON ITN, YOU FUCKING WANT SOME?’ Shocking, just shocking. #
- I of course meant, Ben *Geoghan*. The Daily Mail’s Ben Brogan currently has Nick Robinson in a headlock outside Downing Street. #
- @BenSix: And is that Nick Robinson pummelling a chartered accountant with his sawn-off microphone? #
- Christ, it’s not an accountant – it’s Simon bloody Hoggart! Hoggart looks like he’s coming off worst. #
- @BenSix: Ah, he’s failing badly – tried to grab a clump of hair and found himself slipping off Nicky’s newly-tattood pate. #
- You’re not wrong @BenSix. Robinson, slick with sweat makes for a formidable opponent. Oh, oh! He’s biting Hoggart! The blood, the blood! #
- @CathElliot: Please tell me award winning political journalist Quentin Letts is in there somewhere… #
- Let me see. There he is! I can see his head on a stick being paraded by an ululating Polly Toynbee and Yasmin Alibhai-Brown. #
- @BenSix: But who’s this? Sunglasses; stripped to the waist; cigar clenched between sneering lips. Why…why…it’s Paxman! #
- Is he finally going to settle his long-standing grudge with the Guardian’s Michael White? You know, I rather think he is… #
- Paxman is down! I repeat: Paxman in down! #
- A small cadre of Sky News journalists worried that the violence might be fizzling out have been spotted donning balaclavas. #
- Jamie Oliver’s cooking dinner for the G20 leaders. Don’t do your carrots in chardonnay, Jamie. They’re shit. #
