The House of Commons has been suspended during Prime Minister's question time after what appeared to be purple powder was thrown at Tony Blair. How the hell did the perpetrators get past security? That powder could have been anything. Given the current state of terrorist alert, it's staggering that this could happen.

As for Fathers 4 Justice, well, I have some sympathy for them. I'm not in their shoes; I'm a seperated father, but I get plenty of access - most weekends, in fact. But I very easily could have been, so I have a good idea how they might feel.

But this was just plain stupid.
