ANOTHER day, another daft protest. Just like the Buckingham Palace batman, the hooray hooligans who stormed the House of Commons have grabbed all the front pages.
But instead of furthering their cause - in this case fox hunting - they have merely sparked another debate about state security.
This stunt has boomeranged badly. MPs went on to vote for a hunting ban, while city folk watching on TV were left with the impression that some country dwellers are little more than ill-mannered yobs.
