What exactly is an ordinary person?


Someone who is not a member of the rent-a-mob that turns out for most
demonstrations that take place.

I thought the total number of demonstrators for the Iraq demo earlier
in the year was 2 million.

I did have the honesty to state "million or whatever", so concede it may have
been more than a million, and if you say it was 2 million, then I will not be
so rude or dramatic to call you a liar: I am willing to take your word on that
- it's something you profess to know much more about than I do.

How big is rent-a-mob?


Rob.

They know who they are. As for numbers, how can I possibly say, other than it
is a small proportion of the populaion as a whole.
