Micheal Stone, a former member of an Unionist Brigade during the 30 or so odd years of turmoil in Northern Ireland went on trial today for his attack on Parliament Buildings on the 24th of November.

During the proceeding's Stone's defence lawyer Arthur Harvey, QC, said he had received instructions from Stone that the incident, which caused chaos at Stormont and led to the evacuation of Parliament Buildings, was not intended to endanger the life of anyone.

"It was, in fact, a piece of performance art replicating a terrorist attack," said Mr Harvey

"Performance art replicating a terrorist attack,". Well that's ok then, the next time that you or I see a person walking along a street with a gun or a bomb in hand we will assume that they are taking it to the local gallery as part of a visual/performance art exhibition.

Is it me are QC's strange people, I mean they actually stand up in a court of law and defend somebody who is clearly meant to harm people with such drival.

Perhaps Arthur Harvey, QC, should remove his head from his arse and enjoy some real performance art, in the form of dancing, opera, or the ballet, and stay away from gun touting weirdo's.

I agree its amazing, the threat on terror is all around us and you end up with this "dipstick" simply laughing it off.
