What I don't understand is that an Observer reporter was sat there, Tweeting the proceedings, and missed the significance of what they were doing.

Whoosh.

If I'd have been fit, and had been at this meeting as planned, after being invited, perhaps me taking my shoes off to throw at them, and shouting abuse, might have alerted him to the fact there was quite a newsworthy, and important story here.
