I'm no reporter,and i DON'T KNOW VERY MUCH ABOUT THE HISTORY OF BRIAN, APART FROM THE FACT THAT I BELIEVE HE'S AN EX-MARINE, AND HAS BEEN CAMPED OUT IN PARLIAMENT SQUARE FOR A BLOODY LONG TIME. BLOODY BEING QUITE AN APPROPRIATE WORD TO USE, I FEEL, SINCE, HE' S BEEN CAMPAIGNING AGAINST THE DEATHS OF BOTH OUR TROOPS AND THE IRAQI PEOPLE, AND HAS BEEN THERE IN ALL WEATHERS. HE'S ALSO BEEN THE VICTIM OF A LOT OF ABUSE FOR HIS RIGHTEOUS STANCE AGAINST AN ILLEGAL AND IMORRAL 'WAR'.

I AM A PHOTOGRAPHER, HOWEVER, AND SO HERE FOLLOW SOME OF THE PICTURES I TOOK OF THE DEMONSTRATION AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT'S PLANS TO HAVE HIM EVICTED FROM HIS ENCAMPMENT, WHICH I TOOK ON MONDAY 7TH FEBRUARY 2005.
