Threat

If Scotland Yard thinks Brian Haw poses a threat to security, then they've even fewer brain cells than we suspected. He's an amiable old guy who's protested the Iraq war for, I think, about nine years, in Parliament Square, London. He got handcuffed and lifted on Tuesday. And, no, you don't have to agree with everything he says to find this a very sad event indeed for our country.
