The International Olympic Committee decides in Singapore who will host the 2012 summer Games, with Paris and London the front-runners at a time when Blair and French President Jacques Chirac are engaged in a bitter battle over the European Union.
Disparaging remarks reportedly made by Chirac about British food have soured the mood. Blair arrived in Gleneagles early on Wednesday from 2 days of lobbying the IOC in Singapore, and was to meet anti-poverty campaigners before other leaders arrived.
G8 protestors have become a permanent fixture of the G8 summit. The main issues climate change, poverty in Africa and Oil prices are likely to be fudged over, yet again. Is this another summit that waffles of issues?
The protestors may have a legitimate cause. There comes a time when talk is cheap. If the powers that be do not listen to people's concerns, anger, frustration can be vented out through violence.
