Malvern makes it into the 6 o'clock news headlines

Turns out I wasn't joking about the media scrum!! TV vans and journalists from Sky, & the BBC plus press all over the blinking place. Normally very 'nice' & sedate, the place was heaving with half on Malvern stuffed into the pub & patio. Loads of people with flags, banners & placards plus the 'battle bus'. Initially things were all very civilised, and the sprogs capitalised on the occassion with Strident Student caught on camera asking a question about tuition fees for Post Grads, and giving a quote to the local press, whilst Minor Mayhem was mentioned in passing by Nick for giving him the thumbs up about a comment on the Lib Dems education policy. This genteel session then disintegrated into a bit of a fracas when a local Conservative Councillor got somewhat too pushy & vocal so was wrestled out by Special Branch with the police arriving pretty pronto. The ensuing excitement gridlocking the entire area! Whole thing was captured on Sky TV & broadcast to the masses probably the only time the place has ever had this level of media attention!!
