Bush causes a stir at Holyrood

BBC News Online
George Bush made an appearance in the public gallery at Holyrood this week and caused quite a stir.
Beneath the mask and the American flag however it turned out to be Kevin Williamson, a member of the Scottish Socialist Party.
His comrades on the floor of the chamber applauded his demonstration against the Bush visit to Britain and landed themselves in troble.
They were warned by the Presiding Officer George Reid that if they encouraged further demonstrations they would be thrown out.
Passions had been rising all morning on Thursday as the Socialists led a debate on world peace.
"George Bush has blood on his hands," said Frances Curran.
"George Bush and Tony Blair should be put on trial at the International Court of Justice for war crimes," said Tommy Sheridan.
"Their war in Iraq was illegal and unjustified and over 10,000 innocent Iraqis have been killed."
