SKTheCrusader | George Osborne's Trial By Confetti @SKTheCrusader | Uploaded July 2023 | Updated October 2024, 21 minutes ago.
Have you ever wondered whether throwing confetti at a wedding was terrorism? No? Well, the UK press and public sure managed to act like it was when orange confetti was thrown onto George Osborne at his wedding to Thea Rogers. I took it upon myself to think on this and about protest a bit more generally, to see whether I think a line had been crossed here. It might surprise you to know that I come to a very specific conclusion about the hysterics the press went into about this, but I promise you this video is worth it.
