Evangelism @ Speakers Corner.
Evangelism @ Speakers Corner. Hyde Park. London.
Me thinks today will not be dull – last week Si got kicked, ‘Young’ Bob was removed from the park and a lot of other shenanigans took place! Even Charlie Veitch’s bodyguard Fred, made an appearance at the Corner – if you want to know what happened today check out my end of the day summary on the Counties Hants FB page (Click on the title header or type in https://www.facebook.com/Countieshants)

Speakers Corner in London’s Hyde Park is the oldest free speech platform in the world. People won the right to speak in mass protests in the 1860s and early 1870s. Some people believe the tradition is connected to the right of the condemned to a last speech before being hung at the Tyburn gallows, a practice that stopped at the end of the 18th century. Every Sunday people from all sorts of convictions come to Hyde Park in the afternoon to spread their message or to have fun.
