Speaker's Corner, London

It's my new favorite place to hang out and rant and heckle.

Has anyone ever seen a dude called Ishmael with 'head-out-the-side-of-a-car' afro and big black shades discoursing on the evils of Capitalism and the United Snakes, with his ultra-cool Nigerian-English sparing partner who defends Queen and Country and US and Capital with hilarious eloquence...

uh, this could just be me, actually. I felt at home.

I'm there, in the crowd. One day, if things go bad, on a step ladder.

"And another thing...."

And Luke'll be heckling me. Or, if things go bad, on a step ladder.

"And another thing...don't fucking listen to Craner..."

there's a show on Resonance on Mondays at 4:30 called Speakers Corner, the guy goes down there and records the best rants, if your'e interested.

We've got a speaker's corner in Singapore, but you have to submit your speech for government approval before making it, so no-one does it.

Went a couple of years ago on a saturday afternoon, no interesting kranks, just a few standard bible thumpers. Not even any Revelations quoting. :(

The Master

Wish I could find more footage of him, he's amazing!

I'm trying to give you all the characters here...Ishamel, Kaiwo (the great Nigerian Tory heckler who works for the UN), Diana, The Master, the Physicist (the guy on the left in the second clip I posted recently), Heiko the Trot...
