Yes I went on a peaceful anti-ID cards demo in Parliament square just before they were outlawed. Luckily incognito hadn't brought his boot-boy thug scum to our capital that day so did the protest and went home.
Happened across Brian Haw who I think is a bit misguided and eccentric but perfectly harmless unlike boot boy scum.Comment
