"WE DO'NT NEED NO DESECRATION"Following hard on the heels of Thursdays '

Cenotaph-Desecrating-
Union-Jack-Swinging-Anarchist is non other than.......
.Charlie Gilmour??????

Name ring any bells? It did with me, adopted son of
Dave Gilmour of
Pink Floyd fame, his birth father is
Heathcote Williams, playwright and poet, famous for
'Whale Nation' a superb eco-monologue on mans' association with, reliance on and destruction of the Worlds population of great Whales. Well worth a read or a viewing if you can get hold of either the book or the dvd.
Charlies' mum split from him and bumped into a rock legend and as they say the rest is history.
Did'nt
she do well?
Ostensibly, Thursdays' 'demo' was about student grants and how ill-affordable they are, generally-speaking, by the bulk of working-class individuals and how graduates will be locked into debt for the rest of their lives (it's not quite as simple as that but that's another story).
Well,
Charlie must have been at '
The Great Gig in the Sky' to show some sort of solidarity with the great unwashed because he 'aint short of a few bob that's for sure........Or his stepfather is'nt.

Chaz claims he did'nt know it was the
Cenotaph! Where the
fuck does
he live, in a cave? Does his elite History course at
Girton not cover the 1st and 2nd World Wars?
Interestingly
Chaz has'nt kept his actual Fathers name, nice one
Chaz - the family PR guru probably advised him that to be associated with a multi-millionaire rock-icon would probably do more for his career than a poet would? He has also done some review-doodling for the
Grauniad, that would'nt have anything to do with Musmsies scribbling contacts in
Fleet Street now, would it?
Mind you if he had'nt changed his name and had been plain old
Charlie Williams and i had heard that he had been identified swinging from the Cenotaph, me, being of a certain age i would have thought he's a bit old for that is'nt he???

QUOTETHAT was Charlie Gilmour, swinging about like a cheeky monkey on the Union Flag hung at the Cenotaph to remember the Glorious Dead. Charlie is better known as Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour’s son.
He’s a Saddo (Sons and daughters of…) trying to carve out his own identity. He is now known as the dickhead son of Dave Gilmore. And we applaud his progress.
But he’s not yet his own man. His mum, Polly Samson, goes onto Twitter:
“Son in a mess after day at protests. Battered and bleeding with smashed phone.”
Says Charlie, who one source claims was on LSD at the apogee of his infamous moment – so, once again, he’s behaving nothing like his dad and being very much his own man:
“I woke up this morning feeling nothing but shame for what I did. I’m so ashamed of myself that I really want to curl up into a ball and die. It’s awful and I’m very sorry.”
To further carve out his own identity, Charlie uses his dad’s PR firm to explain:
“I would like to express my deepest apologies for the terrible insult to the thousands of people who died bravely for our country that my actions represented. My intention was not to attack or defile the Cenotaph. Running along with a crowd of people who had just been violently repelled by the police, I got caught up in the spirit of the moment. I did not realise that it was the Cenotaph and if I had, I certainly would not have done what I did. I feel additionally mortified that my moment of idiocy has distracted so much from the message yesterday’s protest was trying to send out. Those who are commemorated by the Cenotaph died to protect the very freedoms that allow the people of Britain the right to protest and I feel deeply ashamed to have, although unintentionally and unknowingly, insulted the memory of them. Ignorance is the poorest of excuses but I am sincerely sorry.”

Rock star's son faces quiz over Cenotaph protest
The son of Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour could be questioned by police after he admitted swinging from a Union Flag on the Cenotaph during the student protests.
Charlie Gilmour, 21, apologised for climbing the memorial to Britain's war dead in Whitehall, central London, saying he was "mortified" by his "moment of idiocy".
The Cambridge University history student said he did not realise it was the Cenotaph and felt "deeply ashamed" by his actions during yesterday's demonstration against higher tuition fees.
He only realised the significance of his actions after seeing pictures of himself in today's newspapers hanging from the flag with his legs dangling, a source said.
Scotland Yard said a 19-year-old man was held last night on suspicion of causing criminal damage in relation to the Cenotaph incident.
It is understood that this was not Mr Gilmour and there could be further arrests as the investigation progresses.
Mr Gilmour said in a statement: "I would like to express my deepest apologies for the terrible insult to the thousands of people who died bravely for our country that my actions represented.
"I feel nothing but shame. My intention was not to attack or defile the Cenotaph. Running along with a crowd of people who had just been violently repelled by the police, I got caught up in the spirit of the moment.
"I did not realise that it was the Cenotaph and if I had, I certainly would not have done what I did.
"I feel additionally mortified that my moment of idiocy has distracted so much from the message yesterday's protest was trying to send out.
"Those who are commemorated by the Cenotaph died to protect the very freedoms that allow the people of Britain the right to protest and I feel deeply ashamed to have, although unintentionally and unknowingly, insulted the memory of them.
"Ignorance is the poorest of excuses but I am sincerely sorry."
Mr Gilmour is on the books of modelling agency Select Model Management and has tried his hand as a journalist, but is now studying history at Girton College, Cambridge.
He is the son of writer and journalist Polly Samson and his father is the poet and playwright Heathcote Williams, her first husband. He was later adopted by the Pink Floyd musician when she remarried.
In an interview earlier this year, he talked about being bought two Savile Row suits before he headed off to university.
A Cambridge University spokesman said: "This incident took place outside term time in London and is a matter for the civil authorities."
David Gilmour's former bandmate Roger Waters lost his father in the Second World War and has written about his loss extensively throughout his career, including in a number of Pink Floyd songs.
The moving track When The Tigers Broke Free chronicles an attack on the Royal Fusiliers by German Tiger tanks.
Waters' father, Eric Fletcher Waters, served in the Fusiliers and died during Operation Shingle.

Charlie rousing the troops and
Right - is this the face of an Anarchist?
He claims to 'have been on
LSD', where did he get it from and who are the drug dealers? He probably lives on an estate but i'll bet the only sink will be a nice Belfast. The picture on the right is a young agency one, he is still on an agencies' books -
Oooooooooh you rebel!!!
In between exhorting his fellow Millionaires to
'Push forward, push forward' he was quoting
Byron to the
Police lines.....Now we all know that a large % of Plods are in need of some ejucation but is'nt
Byron setting the bar a little high? I would have thought more
Pam Ayres for starters.
Below -
Pam, proper poet, the
Peoples Poet.
" 'Twas a sunny day in
Trafalgar SquareI 'spied a
Cunt with long Black 'air
I said get down from that flag up there
Or i'll petrol bomb your pubic hair
He said
Fuck Off i'm the ghost of
Byron!
Saviour of students, drugs i'm high on...
The cops they shouted 'down from up there'
Fuck Off he said, i'm a millionaire
Mum and dad were so pissed off
Their sons' an anarchist, not a toff........"
Perhaps
Chuck thinks he
is the re-born personification of the noble poet, after all,
Byron was rumoured to have indulged in drugs and liked the odd pugilistic knock-about.....He also defended the Luddites, a cause to which he was not born to or affected by.
Byron also fought against the
Ottomans during the
Greek War of Independence so maybe
Chaz will volunteer his services to Afghanistan to help out
'our boys' although i ca'nt see him straying very far from his allowance and the Cambridge totty and he wo'nt be allowed to fly back from Helmand Province because he has a modelling photo-shoot!

Cameron wants the
Met to round up all suspects and prosecute, i would'nt hold your breath on seeing this pampered
twat in court anytime soon. Not with his stepdad worth the GDP of several sub-Saharan countries.
Ignorance is a poor excuse,
he says, in court it would be
no excuse
Chaz. He has shown speedy remorse via his stepdads PR spokesman - that's the way
Chaz, use the family money and contacts like you've probably done all your useless
fucking life, so far. After all you initially denied it on Facebook, allegedly.
Sadly the main item of news that this event will probably be remembered for is the attempted trashing of Charles and Camillas roller. A good software programme should nail somebody based on the reflection in the window and a decent garage should sort out the car, if they can get a 2 for 1 deal Camilla could probably do with a touch up - oooooooooooh Matron!
IMPORTANT NOTE TO THE POLICEIs it only passengers in Rolls Royces' that are exempt from wearing seatbelts? The picture above clearly shows 2 well-known individuals that can not only be traced by the number plate but somebody will knowwhere they live and does he not remember what happened the last time a wife of his did'nt where a seat belt!
Left - no need to belt up i'm an indestructable Royal,
Right -
oooops!Things will never change in this country whilst people in a priveliged position can break the law
and normal, decent, working-class people who are the backbone of this country be it as tax-payers or cannon-fodder for whatever first-past-the-
fucking-post political party are in power are treated as second-class citizens with less rights, legal recourse and allocated funds than prisoners in jail or illegal immigrants that hav'nt paid into the pot.........
Chaz - all you have is money so donate a wedge to
Help for Heroes and do something
fucking useful for once.
