LONDON (AFP) - A climate change protester unsuccessfully tried to superglue himself to Prime Minister Gordon Brown at an event in the leader's residence, a government spokesman said Tuesday.
Dan Glass, a 24-year-old member of Plane Stupid, which campaigns against airport expansion, tried to attach himself to Brown's suit as he was about to shake hands with the premier at his Downing Street residence.
--snip--
Brown can be heard laughing as Glass began his demonstration, in an audio recording of the protest.
Glass assured the prime minister he was carrying out a "non-violent protest" and told Brown that "we cannot shake away climate change like you can just shake away my arm."
--snip--
"As far as we are concerned, nothing really happened," a Downing Street spokesman said.
"There was a light-hearted and not particularly successful demonstration at a reception that was being hosted at Downing Street."
A Scotland Yard spokesman said no police action was taken against anyone related to the attempted protest.

Better he superglue his bottom to a toilet seat at Home Depot, at least he could sue if things didn’t go as planned. ;-)

Dan Glass, a 24 year old MSc student based in Scotland, gained access to the PM’s official residence at 5pm this evening. He greeted Mr Brown and asked the Prime Minister why he and his ministers have refused to meet West London residents opposed to the construction of a third runway at Heathrow. He simultaneously put his super-glue covered hand onto Brown’s polyester suit. When Brown went to turn away he found he had been super-glued by his clothing to Plane Stupid, and had no option but to listen to Dan or undress.
