tho did not take part in the G8 protests in Scotland 2005 because targets such as 'globalisation' too woolly for my taste [perhaps akin to declarations of war on abstract nouns like 'terror'], did visit the Gleneagles protester camp out of curiosity for a night with the burka in my bag just in case ..
that evening the cops were on friendly form, amused and happy to pose for photographs with me burka-ed up

next day was a different story when many of the police were hungover plus all overheating
a lad approached me wanting to smuggle an axe out of the campsite, told him i could easily cause a diversion merely by putting on my burka.
exactly as predicted the police swooped on me but this time with no trace of a sense of humour. they confiscated the star spangled veil part while the lad walked out unquestioned with the axe down the back of his shirt

did end up playing cards with some of the officers that afternoon with this priceless image as backdrop..
