#1 If they're fool enough to want their shoes back, charge a hundred pounds each.

#2 Since this seems to cover other things thrown, Are Y'all going to Ignore Grenades as well?

#3 I believe it's a British tradition to throw brickbats back. I hope the police won't be repressing the native British population.

#4 What was it that British military man told the head of a mob setting about burning a Hindu widow in suttee? Something like, it is your tradition to do so, and we will respect that. But it is our tradition to hang those who kill women, so after you have your tradition, we will have ours.

Hopefully things will change when the Tories take office.

#5 "After the incident in Baghdad we told the police that ~~people~~ religious bigots would want to bring shoes to throw at Downing Street."

#6 So, then, the question is: Isn't "poo" considered "ritually unclean" in western culture? And if so, would the throwing of it be considered a "symbolic" gesture?

#7 I'm Irish, our heritage is to throw bricks. At Brits. Good to know they will stand there and let us now.
