    Hooray! I suppose that this isn’t the end of the matter and there will be more court appearances but it’s good news nonetheless.

    But there could be terrorists hiding behind the banners! Have the judges lost their minds?

    Brian Haw is a true hero who need bein no doubt about his legacy.Future generations will laud his valiant humanitarian protest and scorn the powers that sought to remove him from public prominence.They’d happily ask military families who have lost loved ones in Blair’s wars to grieve quietly without protest if that were possible.

    Brian Haw is the conscience of those less brave than he who dare not stand up and be counted.He is the best of British representing that steadfastness in adversity on which we are said to pride ourselves.

    If ever a man deserved a public honour(without paying for it)Mr Haw is that man.
