There's been another international shoe-throwing incident, with the Chinese premier, Wen Jiabao, this time narrowly avoiding being hit by footwear hurled by a protester during his three-day visit to Britain.
Nearing the end of Wen's speech at Cambridge University, a man in the auditorium blew a whistle and shouted: "How can the university prostitute itself with this dictator?" He then threw his shoe, which missed Wen by two feet.
Interestingly, the incident has not received any coverage in the Chinese press so far, unlike the George Bush shoe-throwing incident in December.
When shoes are outlawed, only outlaws will have shoes.

Where was this guy whenever Blair spoke, or GWB visited? Both the US and Britain support dictators when it serves their financial purposes but, outright war criminals, this guy should have already launched a barrage of shoes.

This guy compares W and Blair to the Red Chinese dictator.
He defines himself.
