Brian Haw RIP

[Saxondale]

The peace protestor who camped outside parliment from 2001 to 2011 when he was turfed out by Johnsons cronies died yesterday from lung cancer. Whether you agree with his politics or not this is a sad loss of someone who was prepared to actually get off his arse to show opposition rather than sit on his arse whinging on a football forum.

RIP

RIP

But it was a pretty pointless exercise and a waste of 10 years of a life IMHO.Probably not the thread for a debate on this mind.

Although tbh, it sounds like he got off his arse just long enough to get to outside parliament, then spent the next 10 years doing nothing but sit on his arse outside parliament.

Full of admiration for this bloke-made me feel humble cos I agree with his sentiments but wouldn't have the bollocks to do what he did-a remarkable human.

RIP Brian.

A thorn albeit a small one in Parliaments side. Pissed several politicians off which brought a smile to my face !!

He pissed off the politicians and establishment, so much so they spent huge amounts of time and money trying to get rid of him - so not entirely a pointless exercise
