Welcome to this tribute page to free speech which is enacted every sunday at Speakers Corner in London, England.
This page is also a vehicle to allow me to share my views without hecklers, and photographs which are available to any of the speakers to use on their own web pages. If you let me have your web addresses I will provide a link. The only people I will not link to are violent and aggressive bastards, who prevent other narrow minded biggots from expressing their views.

The lady pictured is affectionately known as Diana. She is a strong lady with courage, and a deep belief that her views are the truth. She thanks nobody for listening, and expects no thanks in return for sharing her wisdom. The hecklers tell her "If you had a brain Diana, you would be dangerous". I like to listen to Diana, and am in awe of her strength of character, as she faces her critics. If you listen to her words, and the conviction of her beliefs, and the contempt she show holds for her audience, you will soon appreciate that she is truly mad. However she is oblivious to the alternatives to her views. She has "her" god, who reassures her that she is strong, and truthful in all she says and believes.

Diana is a warrior at Speakers Corner. However large the "mob", and nasty the scorn, she will match them word for word as she faces these forces of evil.

"Longer Chains, Bigger Cages, Better consolation prizes!!"
Tony is an anarchist. He will gladly tell you of all the things he gets upto, but I won't repeat them here, for fear that he will convert Wormwood Scrubbs into squat, and invite homeless friends to a place of communal warmth.
One gets the feeling that Tony often allows his audience to dwindle simply because he has become bored by them. His philosophy appears to be stop working, be happy and life will improve. I bore him when I ask who will fix the drains when the sewage overflows.
"I don't give a fuck about your drains"
I like Tony, because during 1999 he was an advocate warning of imminent doom about to be caused by the millenium bug. He is the only person with the decency to remember my insistence that the millenium bug was a financial scam implemented by computer consultants to rob this country to the tune of half a billion pounds. As the British Government issued warning upon warning, they decried the fact that the rest of the world were doing nothing. It turned out that the rest of the world and myself were correct, and Tony and the British Government were talking a load of bollocks.
Despite the bollocks Tony is one of the rare speakers, who listens to his audience.

Martin's meetings are so refreshing. Speakers Corner is dominated by bigots and religious fanatics of all persuasions. Martin as has identified the one thing that unites us all. It is our desire for Sex! Sex! Sex!
Whatever your sexuality, or fetish, Martin will take the piss. If you go the meeting with your partner, then your partner will be thinking of Martin the next time you make love. If you do not have partner, then you will be thinking of Martin the next time you masturbate.
 If you catch Martin at a sensitive moment, he is libel to climb down from his ladder and sulk. Sometimes he will allow others to speak from his ladder, but whether he is up the ladder or sitting in the audience with one of his newly pulled fans, you can be sure he is leading the subject, which is continually
sex!
sex!
sex!

I don't know the name of this speaker, but I will call him marxist.com
I would not dare to speak at a marxist.com meeting, because the man is frighteningly well informed about his subject, as he relates how drinking a can coke is indirectly repressing working glass Asian's living in South America. I hesitate to use the word "indirectly" because marxist.com will point out that the correct word is "directly".
It is difficult to argue against marxist.com because he uses very well thought out techniques in keeping the discussion on his track, where he is safe. If you seek to divert him onto a positive train of thought about how things might be improved, he will artistically bring you back onto stage one, which is dismantling the existing system. He will then use "facts" in his argument which are very difficult to argue against especially when they are probably true. He will even inform you of his sources.
I can't put my finger on why I would be terrified to live in his society, because he appears to be such a well intentioned, well informed human being. I just cannot believe McDonalds, and Coka Cola, and BP are as evil as he would have us believe.
I am obliged to say I have done no justice to marxist.com's views or arguments, because I have invented all company names and situations, to give a feel of his arguments. You should follow the link to hear it from the horses mouth.

The Heckler
The Heckler will wander from meeting to meeting shouting things like "If your brain was twice as big you would need another cell to keep it in", except he is a lot funnier.
He heckles anyone without favouritism. He shows a healthy lack of respect for the subject of the meeting that he intrudes upon, or the seriousness of the arguments. He just heckles, and heckles and moves on to heckle elswhere. Ignore him, and he will go away, after he has heckled.
