I was initially going to write about Climate Camp at Heathrow and how I sat on a hay bale in the organic beer tent listening to reggae surrounded by girls stroking Alsatians with their bare feet, but that was before lunchtime on Thursday.
Popping out to Mr Crusty's sandwich bar in Chalfont St Peter I found myself behind Donny Tourette, the ex-Celebrity Big Brother contestant-cum-punk rock star who escaped over the House wall with the help of a bunk-up from Leo Sayer. What larks.

Anyway, he was told he would have to wait for 10 minutes so he sloped off and waited around the corner with his mate in a leather jacket and big shades. The
