Brian Haw has been protesting in Parliament Square since 02 Jun 01. Initially he was campaigning against the economic sanctions imposed against Iraq and the bombing of the country by the US and UK. After 11 Sep 01, he started to protest against the War on Terror. In spite of the UK government trying to move him they have failed to shift and so he sits outside Parliament littering the surrounding area with his placades, banners, flags and other trash, 24/7, 365 days a year.

Frank, my cousin was an airman at Greenham Common and occassionally they would take the base fire engines down to the main gate and give all the hippies camped outside a much needed hose down. It now seems that the Labour controlled council in Newbury have acheieved what the protestors couldn't because the entire base has been turned back to common land. Very little of the original base infratructure remains.
