More important is there is some confusion as to the time. :o

Just checked and there seems to be something wrong with either my brain or the time of the announcement. Strasbourg is an hour in advance as Davepoth says yet it also states 10.30 BST, 9.30 Strasbourg.
I guess, just guess that Mr Idris has gone into reverse and took an hour off the 10.30 BST to get his 9.30 Strasbourg equivalent, instead of adding it on. Maybe I'm wrong.
I rather think though that he will have been told the time of the announcement in the local time ie Strasbourg and he's just added rather than subtracted an hour to get to BST.


can someone check!!!

It's always been 9:30am local time.

I believe that that is 8:30am UK time.

I don't know of any mistake (or the source of the quote).

It was in the email Idris sent to his mailing list . I emailed him (after being prompted by someone else on PePiPoo), and he issued an amended email.

Just to confirm, it's 0930 CEST, which is 0830 BST.

Does any one have any newspaper scans on Idris's battle that I can turn into posters for the press conference?
