Uh...yeah.
While one can admire his sticktohimtiveness, one must also say, "What the deuce???"
Mr Thompson said his organisation was attempting to make Mr Brown "stick to his environmental promises". Methinks he would've done better if he had stuck them both to a tree...
"I just glued myself to him and after 20 seconds he tore my hand off - it really hurt. You don't say! Why, the nerve of the PM! Blatantly ripping your hand away like that! Luckily for him, your hand didn't come off with that sleeve, otherwise he might have been sued...
"He was just grinning about it. He didn't seem to take me seriously." You don't say!
Good thing he didn't. Because if he had, you'd have been subdued, bound, and carted off in the wacky wagon. Never let it be said he doesn't have a sense of humor. Besides, since it was in your underwear, you got away with more than just your hand in tact.... Unfortunate. He didn't need to get stuck for his sticking point.
And so it goes... sp

Plane Stupid recently gained publicity by mounting a protest on the roof of Parliament.It seems this group are rather fond of breaching high security buildings...I remember this when it was on the news. It was a really big deal. I'm all for peaceful protest and I think humorous protests like this one can get more favourable attention than violent ones, but like you say, he's lucky he only hurt his hand considering where the glue was stashed!

And here I thought it was us Americans who were the only crazies! Hysterical. Did he not think that if it had worked and stuck to the jacket the the PM would
have simply removed the jacket and had him arrested? What's even funnier than his stupidity is the name of the organization her represents, Plane Stupid
because what he did was just plain stupid.
Take care

I'm wondering whether this young man actually thought this through properly, or whether he woke up that morning and said "I'm going to superglue myself to the Prime Minister today!" Like I said in my previous post, humorous protests can be very inventive and extremely funny at the same time as getting the message across. This has just come off as looking like a student prank really, not much of a serious protest...still made me chuckle when I read it though and I suppose it was worth a try.

It seems this group are rather fond of breaching high security buildings...I remember this when it was on the news. It was a really big deal. Pretty soon they'll go a bit too far. I'm guessing they've reached the top of many unpopular lists. I'm all for peaceful protest and I think humorous protests like this one can get more favourable attention than violent ones, but like you say, he's lucky he only hurt his hand considering where the glue was stashed! Yep. I know they mean well, but this could've been the situation they were trying to highlight, only they could've been hurt, plus, while they were being dealt with, something else might have happened, and people might have really needed help. I dunno, but superglue in my underwear at anytime would not be the way I'd get a point across.

Can you imagine if he really was stuck, for a long time? He'd never live it down.

Yep. I'm thinking on a scale of 1 to 10, this was a less than zero.
