The peace demo had one really useful aspect: I was able to walk into Brighton without being asked to buy the Big Issue or give some change for the first time in ages.

The smug-fest in support of a regime that has killed hundreds of thousands of people was truly nauseating.

The knee-jerk anti-Americanism is embarrassing to me and anyone else with any sense of the history of this country.

Shame on you all.
