Idiots, I hope Bolton resists a citizens arrest with vigor and a good right hook.

Was Bolton also in charge of the Germans, French, Russians, and English?

You might call it a "citizen's HAYmaker".

Mr. Monbiot is a moonbat.

Explaining his motivation for carrying out what will be a purely symbolic gesture...

It's not symbolic in the eyes of the law. A false arrest is not something of which he wants to be a part.

Nice town. I visited there a few years ago and picked up a copy of one of the Dr. Syn novels I’d been looking for. Too bad it has to be sullied with political idiocy.

He said: “The Hay Festival has sought the advice of both police and lawyers, and has been unequivocally assured that a citizen’s arrest, or an attempt to instigate a citizen’s arrest, would be completely unlawful in these circumstances.”

Sounds like Mr. Monbiot will be heading to jail and not Bolton if he attempts this... Why doesn’t he try to arrest the members of Parliament, or the royal family? Surely, he must hold them responsible in some way for the British soldiers in Iraq... Or, does he really think that the U.S. runs the whole world?

My guess is that he has drank so much anti-war Kool-aid, that he really believes the US controls the WHOLE world! These idiots really need to calm down and stop listening to the propoganda!

Images of Gomer yelling "Citizen's Arrest!" to Barney Fyfe on The Andy Griffith Show are now clanging around in my head.

Just love the Internet at moments like this. Instant satisfaction for a nostalgia craving. In less than a minute I tracked the clip down at YouTube. Been forever since I saw this. Citizen's Arrest Episode. (Approx the 3:05 mark is when the famous scene begins.

I think they should arrest Michael Bolton for all of wussy songs he sang.

A size 10 to his “gentleman’s vegetables” (if Monbiot has any) should terminate the arrest.

Monbiot is a typical moonbat. He was given an opportunity to participate and present his position, which he did without interference from anyone. Now, however, when a position he disagrees with is to be presented, he threatens the speaker with a citizen’s arrest. This is a journalist who is making these threats. This is someone who ought to have some basic inkling of the value of the free exchange of ideas to western society. This is someone who ought to be willing to die for free speech rights. Instead, he is another left-wing moonbat determined to make some sort of spectacle in hopes that he can perhaps prevent information he does not want to acknowledge from being presented. His behavior is like that of a spoiled rich kid who threatens to take his ball and leave because other people make more goals with it than he does. Where is the outrage in the British media over this childishness? What kind of editor employs a kindergartner? When the moonbat boychild jumps on the stage, I hope John Bolton grabs him by the seat of his pants and the collar of his shirt and tosses him like the piece of trash that he is back into the lap of the mother who made him the mollycoddle that he is.

No, this is a moonbat who happens to write for a living.

This George Monbiot spelled (IDIOT) should be arrested and put in a holding cell for about 30 days, then to an institution to keep him away from harming others or himself.
