Anti-globalizer in the slammer
Tom Burroughes (London)  French affairs

Justice is sometimes achieved. Jean Bove, a key figure in the anti-globalisation movement who trashed a McDonald's restaurant in France, has been jailed for three months for his offence, committed in 1999.

A report by Reuters on today states he claims he was protesting about US tariffs on cheese and other French foodstuffs, but I do not recall this French twerp as a principled advocate of free trade for American products in Europe. Frédéric Bastiat he most definitely is not!
