I found this amusing too, it's on the BBC live feed

Quote:

Lewis R Lowden, MI, USA says: The G20 has a public face but is run from behind a closed door, smoked filled room, where-in the welfare of the general public does not have a seat. It's like asking the fox & ferret to make the rules protecting the chicken coop.

Quote:

Good point Lewis about the smoke-filled room, because foreign dignitaries at the G20 will be exempt from the UK smoking ban. Does this leave you fuming, reader?

Love the hand movements of the guy trying to help. I know what he's doing but the enthusiasm he's showing is strangely funny

That bit about smoking does get me fuming a bit actually matblack. Why the **** should they be exempt from the law?

I'm gonna walk into a pub, spark up, then when asked to put it out scream 'I have zee diplomatic immunity!1'

I think being world finance leaders you're entitled to a few perks.

I've always been of a mind that the law is the law and should be followed by everyone, especially those that are meant to set an example for others.

I think it's of better interest to get the meeting done smoothly and comfortably for those attending, rather than upsetting them just to prove a point. The Beast and its escort of CIA and MI5 cars will have probably gone through some red lights too, but hell, it's Obama if he can't jump a few red lights when he's President of the US and the free world, what can he do?
