From The Scotsman:
Bush grazed in fall from bike
GEORGE Bush suffered grazing to his legs and arms last night when he collided with a Strathclyde Police officer while cycling in the grounds of Gleneagles Hotel.
The president was 45 minutes into his ride, shortly after arriving at the Perthshire hotel.
His wheel slid on a wet patch of ground, resulting in the scrapes. He was treated at the hotel by the White House physician and was able to fulfil his evening diary as planned. However, the police officer needed to be taken to Perth Royal Infirmary after sustaining a minor ankle injury, although he did return to duty.
The president spoke to the officer for some time at the scene and was intending to telephone him later, according to a police spokeswoman. The bicycle Mr Bush was riding suffered some damage.
S0 - Yesterday, while the massed black ranks of honest Peelers were enjoying a traditional British square go with the great unwashed, an International Terrorist masquerading as the Leader of the Free World used a bicycle to assault a policeman . The brave copper ended up in hospital, while the offender was rewarded with a splendid dinner with (stands up) HM The Queen.
Is this justice? Should he be allowed to escape punishment so easily?
