A small but illustrative incident....

A journalist (possibly more than one) was CS gassed and arrested after a scuffle in the House of Commons, he was a guest at an event attended by crowd of other journalists.

Yet oddly, every single hack present seems to have quite forgotten to pass the name on to their respective publications. Not that it matters, of course, as he(they) must be about 5 minutes away from being named in the political blogs.

This trepidation over naming him is making me wonder if it's a 'big name' celebrity/TV pundit journalist.

Please let it be Andrew Marr!
