Hippies

So, Parliament square has been invaded by... hippies. We're talking the original, dreadlocked, tye-dye wearing, love-dovey, huggy-cutie, just-steppd-out-of-a-60s-time-machine hippies. They've sent up a 'millenium village' in front of the Houses of Parliment (to US-ers, that would be like setting up on the White House lawn). Are living in tents, and setting up a little garden in the middle of it. It's cute, it's nice, they're friendly and play music and I totally support them.

But they are just the most sterotypical hippies imaginable.

In the middle of their little garden is a sapling, with a piece of cardboard in front of it "Millenium Village Oak". Unfortunately, while I am a city creature, my mother is an avid gardener and I know something about trees and that really is not an oak.
I love these people really.
So if you are in the central London, come down to Westminster and check out the millenium village. They're lovely folk. And if you can, bring them a real oak.

PS: Please ignore the bunch right in front of the pavement, in particular the guy on the crutches and with the badges on his hat. He might have been protesting the Iraq war since it started, but he's a horrible piece of work and viciously offensive if you so much as say anything to him, same goes with most of them near him, my friend and I went over to say hi and got a nasty shock.

As it is now the 20th

It's Draw Mohammed Day! *waves flag*
As far as I can see the entire point of today is to give Muslim fundies so many targets to aim at they'll give up and try being reasonable (ie, ignoring this whole silly mess) so that the next time some artist wants to draw the prophet they won't even bother.
There has been rather too many people drawing the prophet fucking pigs and such, so I thought I'd try my hand at drawing something no other religion (except scientology maybe) would find offensive.

This being said, here is my masterpiece:
