Re: Peter Tatchell NJC

Do you remember when he tried to shove some leading church person out 
of the pulpit during a big Easter service? -- the Archbishop of 
Canterbury or the Bishop of London or some such.  Precious moments. 
:-)   Or when he last tried to make a citizen's arrest of Robert 
Mugabe and ended up being beaten up by Mugabe's bodyguards and thrown 
in the gutter, and then got arrested himself for breach of the peace. 
I campaigned for him in 1981 when he stood for parliament, but sadly 
didn't get in. I've always thought he was someone destined for high 
office, and I think he may still be, although he could probably never 
tow a party line. The man who beat him in 1981 is still around - a 
senior Liberal - forgotten his name.  Every time I see him on 
television, I think: "that should have been Peter".
