In London and Paris, a sinister all male group of "Flame Attendants" accompanied the torch at every stage of its journey.
These "thugs" as described by Lord Coe, head of the London 2012 Olympics, pushed and jostled anyone who came close including the Police and people in Downing Street.
That they got away with it and were not arrested themselves is a disgrace.
The Times uncovered more about them today http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article3671368.ece.
Telegraph has more

It will be interesting to see if they get away with pushing around Americans in their own country too or if the San Francisco Police Department will step in.....
