what an absolute fkin shambles ..

..and yet compulsive viewing.

My guess at 32 arrests seems far too small now.

Priceless

"Konnie Huq told BBC News 24 she was "a bit bashed about" but not seriously hurt.

"I always said my taking part in the procession doesn't mean I condone China in any way," she added.

"I believe in the Olympic values, the Olympic ideals... it's just unfortunate that China has such a terrible track record when it comes to human rights and they are the host nation."

Those taking part in the relay include 10 Olympic champions, 18 schoolchildren and public figures such as news reader Sir Trevor McDonald and musician Vanessa Mae.

What a complete farce this is.  The only other people there apart from the torch carrier, torch protectors and police are the protestors!  Waste of money.  Get in a cab with it, save everyone the hassle.

Oh yes.

Another two protesters just had a go. This is great fun - the England rugby team should look to pick a few of these coppers, their tackles are quite good.

Ooooh, two more just tried to grab Tessa Sanderson (who has not aged one bit in 20 years) but were stopped by the police scrum.

And now the Sugababes have pulled out of the final ceremony - even these publicity hungry poppets want nothing to do with the shambles.

Fatima Whitbread would have been a better choice.  For the whole 31 miles.  Problem solved.

one of the best things I've seen on tv in ages. was watching with a mate at lunchtime and we were wondering what charges could be pressed against the guy who was arrested for trying to put the flame out with a fire extinguisher. any ideas?

surely putting out fires is not illegal
