Yeah, I saw this, the thing I found funny was that on the
on hand he said people were too polite to tell him to
leave a meeting when it was clear he was a spy:

  Only the core organisers for the convergence space in
  Scotland were on hand and as I had not been part of this
  group earlier I was looked at suspiciously. I was
  woefully out of my depth within this small group and
  they knew it. The discussion was being drawn back at the
  slightest hint of giving away any details of what the
  group were planning. I knew I wasn't welcome anymore,
  though as was fairly typical, everyone was far too
  polite to say anything.

And on the other hand the media wants people this think
that should be scared of these polite protestors... (same
paper, same day):  

  Monday, July 4, likely to be the grimmest day of the
  week. That day will feature an anarchist demonstration
  called the 'Carnival of Full Enjoyment'. It will involve
  organisations such as The Wombles and The Clowns, who
  are regarded as among the most hard-line of the
  anti-capitalist movement and as a magnet for others
  intent on violence. This is regarded as the event which
  is most likely to go out of control. And businesses,
  especially banks and companies with an international
  profile, are fearing the worst. Senior police officers
  are complaining about the lack of information from the
  march organisers.
