Amy had to fly out to Copenhagen this afternoon, so I looked to fill my afternoon with some free entertainment. For the longest time I’ve been wanting to go check out Speaker’s Corner in Hyde Park. With its origin being tied to allowing people who were condemned to the gallows to speak their last words, it is now the area where anyone can come and publicly speak on whatever topic (except overthrowing the British government) they choose.
Most topics were political/religiously motivated. Most involve open debate with those gathered around the speaker, but ALL of them were spirited. My favourite was THIS guy. Ya’ GOTTA admire his perseverance. Either that or he needs to get there early and get a better spot.
Funny… NO one wanted to talk about how the designated hitter has ruined Major League Baseball. Go figure.
