Former boxer Chris Eubank was arrested during a one-man protest against the military presence in Iraq on Tuesday. The flamboyant showman backed his huge truck - which bore the slogan "Tony Blair: Military occupation causes terrorism" - outside Downing Street and sounded his horn for about a minute.

He then drove off before returning for a second time but was promptly arrested after reversing into a delivery van and sounding his horn again - more... (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/3192224.stm)

Aww... bless him! Good old Chris, glad to see he's at the cutting edge of political activism... ;)

he may be a self styled intellectual pugilist, but he certainly has style.

Nice one Chris

Why did he crash into a van? An accident surely? Not so cool.

.........anyway, according to our Government, we are not actually OCCUPYING Iraq. So he got that wrong.....or did he?

No, we are occupying Iraq. Either that or this is the worlds largest military Jamboree.

And, originally bare–fisted. It also means: vigorous controversialist.
