Bernice: Rent a crowd..... We are not known for that, the only time that sort of thing happened was during the old days of secondary picketing. That was made illegal years ago.

If you don't know he was on his way home, then you can't have been following the story very well, as it was stated from day one that the news broke he was on his way home.

Yes, since he split with his wife, he did drink... big deal.. The guy but the man who he worked with that day stated he was sober, happy and looking forward to the next day of work. He was improving himself. He is described as a man "...He was a gentleman and he never hurt anyone," said one colleague. "He was a really nice fella who just minded his own business."
"He was King of the Hill – King of Fish Street Hill." That is my tribute to him," another added.
Barry Smith, 55, an Evening Standard vendor who had known Mr Tomlinson for 26 years, said he helped out on the stall every day, starting at 7am.

Ok?

(V): you have misinterpreted again.....I wasn't querying the "going home", I was asking you how did you know he was going to be watching football?

Each report I have read (english reports) have said he was a chronic alco and living in a homeless shelter....if your press can't report correctly, not my problem.

Yes I have read he was a newspaper seller....over here young boys of about 12-16 years old sell newspapers .....was he working in a shop? or standing on a street corner?

Your report says he was confronted by lines of riot police....to me (looking at the vid) he actually walked into them. He appeared to be nowhere near the main group of demonstrators.

The english are world reknown for their "want" to demonstrate at the drop of a hat.....they even travel in large groups to football matches both home and overseas.

Bernice: We have the right to demonstrate, that's not "rent a crowd", it's using our democratic right to protest. Millions went to London over the Iraq war.

As for football matches.. of course, people all over the world travel to watch matches abroad in many sports.. Some even go to the Olympics

He was a Millwall fan, he finished work at 7pm. He worked from a stall who his friend as an Evening Standard Vendor ran. He himself was an official vendor, but then went to helping other vendors.around Monument Station.

Read our papers, do a google.. but if you use google, make sure your search parameters are good.

"ian tomlinson route home" is the one I used.

(V): smart ----. I used "Ian Tomlinson" with quotes.

There is no use asking you questions.

WHERE DID YOU GET THE IDEA HE WAS GOING HOME TO WATCH FOOTBALL.............so he was a Millwall fan.....how did you know he was going home to watch footy?

Just answer the question.

Bernice: From his family.

As for your search results... maybe you should try the UK google aka google.co.uk
