You can read the sign. I can read the sign. But the BBC reporter and editors can't.
The protester, wearing a kilt and a green beret and a white placard with the words "The Grand Prix priest. Israel fulfillment of prophecy says the bible, the second coming is near," on it, was immediately arrested and taken to a police station.
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer identified the man as Portugese. The BBC account says this:
He appears to be Cornelius "Neil" Horan, a former priest who disrupted last year's British Grand Prix. He was then jailed for two months following his race track protest at Silverstone.
A police source said: "The man says he is Irish, he is also drunk. He had been to a taverna earlier. Police are going through his stuff."

I don't know who you want to believe, but I'd withhold my conclusion for a while. It doesn't look as though anybody's all that reliable. Best guess at this time is that it is indeed the Irishman. Gotta keep us Irish away from the Guinness.
Such is the ignominious end to the Olympic games.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
