"Deputy Chief Exec. Mr Travers apparetly thinks Tuesday night was a marvellous success. Why? Because there was no 'violent' protest.
"He tells us that 'the democratic process was able to take place with residents in the public gallery'. Yes, Mr Travers: there were, maybe, oh, as many as twenty or so residents in the public gallery.
"The rest of them, perfectly ordinary, law-abiding citizens, were either stuck under quasi-military guard in an overflow room, staring pointlessly at a blank screen, listening to an intermittent broadcast from the ruling junta down the corridor, forbidden to leave the room even to visit the loo without explanation, and hugely intimidated by the presence of a private army of blackshirted bouncers, or had given up in disgust and left."
