| LONDON - Pro-Palestinian demonstrators disrupted a concert by the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra at the world-famous Proms concerts in London on Thursday, forcing the BBC to cut short a radio broadcast of the performance. The orchestra, conducted by Zubin Mehta, had just begun playing at the Royal Albert Hall when a group of protesters in the stalls stood up, started singing and held up towels bearing letters that spelled "Palestine", a BBC spokeswoman said. The orchestra continued playing but the BBC decided to take the performance off Radio 3, a national radio station broadcasting it live, because the music could not be heard properly, she said. BBC television said it was the first time Radio 3 had had to interrupt a broadcast of the Proms, a summer-long festival of music, because of a protest. It said other audience members at the sold-out performance booed the protesters. |

| #1 I still think my solution is best. Put the troublemakers in individual, soundproofed cells for 72 to 96 hours, 3 or 4 days, and twice a day give them food on a paper plate to eat with their fingers. If they have cell phones, leave them on to run their batteries down. Then, without comment, release them in a staggered fashion between 2 and 4 am. Then, if they get any form of public welfare, dock them a week for the cost of their incarceration. |
