(6 months later)
In what might be the sixth most exciting thing ever to happen in the bustling Hanover international trade-fair scene, a demonstrator from Femen has staged a topless protest against Vladimir Putin's treatment of Pussy Riot. The spectacle was so arresting that it even managed to, briefly, divert everyone's attention away from the bright red DeLorean thing behind them, but look at the range of reactions on show. Shock. Embarrassment. Angela Merkel looks delighted. Putin has, for whatever reason, gone full Paul McCartney. What could be going through their minds? Perhaps Merkel is saying: "Let's just all be thankful that Berlusconi isn't around to make this any worse."In what might be the sixth most exciting thing ever to happen in the bustling Hanover international trade-fair scene, a demonstrator from Femen has staged a topless protest against Vladimir Putin's treatment of Pussy Riot.
