Earlier this week I reported that Guardian columnist George Monbiot was going to attempt a citizen's arrest of John Bolton at Hay On Wye
Unfortunately the attempt did not succeed.
As Michael White reports this morning
As Bolton, a former US ambassador to the UN, ended an hour-long discussion at the Hay festival, Monbiot, who had earlier challenged him for alleged breaches of the postwar Nuremberg Principles, defining war crimes, moved towards the stage waving a charge sheet. But security staff intervened and bundled Monbiot out of the tent as 20 supporters chanted "war criminal" and waved placards. The comedian Marcus Brigstocke, who tried to pursue Bolton as he left the other side of the tent, was also blocked by security staff.
