Thoburn and two other Imperialists paraded in the streets, wearing signs
reading: "I am a criminal".
Now Mr Thoburn really IS a criminal!
I wonder whether that brawl had something to do with
the Metric Martyrs, that he may have attacked people who were opposed to
their campaign.

How about that. Britain has soccer hooligans, and now they have Imperial
[unit] hooligans! There's nothing better than having a tarnished poster-boy
on the opposition's side. Pro-metric people in Britain should seize upon
this to cast the opposition as emotionally-driven, non-rational, hopelessly
backward-looking citizens.
