Maybe we should change his name to HeeHaw in recognition of his achievements?

Prior to his Parliament Square protest, Haw worked with troubled youngsters in Redditch, Worcestershire, where he lived with his wife Kay and their seven children until he left them in 2001 to begin his protest. The couple divorced in 2003
The quintessential "Essex Man" methinks.

I suppose he put himself out, made himself uncomfortable in order to make a point. A bit like a
21st century hair-shirt

Knowing how piss-poor the previous government was at writing legislation (IR35 is a prime example), it always made me laugh that they passed a law specifically to ban Brian Haw, then found it couldn't be applied to him!

All very well having these "laudable" aims, but when the sum total of your life's sacrifice is the ruination of a smallish part of the Westminster lawns, it all seems a bit pointless.
He would have been better served joining the Peace Corps if he really wanted to try and make a difference. Though that might have resulted in him having to do a bit more actual grafting and a lot less "Me me me" posturing.
