Brian Haw

I posted a video of Brian Haw accepting a "political peace prize" award the other day, it's a few posts down. Today, a freind of mine told me of a BBC news report on it, of which I don't have a copy of, but according to her:

"It was hardly reported. When it was, a BBC reporter marched up to a 12 year old and asked rather condescendingly why this child thought he knew more about international foreign policy than George Bush or Tony Blair and why he thought he was entitled to protest. The answer:

'Well to my mind, if 12 years old is old enough to be blown to bits in Iraq, 12 years old is old enough to protest against it in Edinburgh.'"

Indeed.
