years convinced many listeners of his sods innocence. These
people mount the man's step ladder and support his story.
Lots of the speakers are hilarious. One man is tatooed
all over his face and body. Hp says he is a thief and that
society needs thieves, that the queen should knight thieves
and proudly brandishes a scrap book of news paper clippings
describing his convictions. Another plain old man talks for
half an hour saying "Now I don't have anything controver-
sial to say. You won't get into any arguments with me. But
I give a good talk, a nice simple speech. I say something for
everybody" and so on.
Zionists speak in support of Israel as Arabs heckle and
violent arguments break out in the audience. A man waving
a green flag says he supports the Irish Republican Army and
a man waving a red flag talks of Marx and nothing in par-
ticular on a ladder with a picture of Che Gueverra.
A group of men and one woman sit on the grass and drink
from a bottle inside a brown paper bag.
The quiet, melt into the background London bobbies stand
around and watch. And the anger, the information and the
humour floats around Hyde Park Corner on another Sunday.
A calm, quiet London bobbie
reflectt on it all.

Hyde Parke In London Provides Program
heckle one or laugh at another.
A few of the maybe 30 speakers in the Park are very
serious. They are black nationalists talking about exploi-
tation of Africa by colonial Britain and about South Africa
and about the decadence of Western, as opposed to Eastern
culture. The black nationalists are well informed and attract
the largest audiences. They have a good report with the
majority of their listeners who are black. White people
listening are often upset, belligerent or incredulous.
A few Socialists, from various splinter parties, hold
court. A couple of Christian evangelists and several mem-
bers of other religious sects are spread around the grounds.
They don't attract much of an audience except the evangel-
ists who have a running dialogue with, then try to
ignore, a dirty long haired young man who heckles them

If you have a cause to promote or a wrong to right and
are in London, England any Sunday, clutch a portable step
ladder under your arm and head for Speakers' Corner in
Hyde park near downtown London where you ar e assured
Of an audience. You see them in the tube stations and weav-
ing through traffic on their bikes, little old men who look a
bit seedy - and young men who look prosperous, all with
step ladders and all going to Hyde Park. They set up their
ladders in a corner of the Park traditionally reserved on
Sunday for speakers and start to talk. Hundreds of people
mill around and drift from speaker to speaker, stopping to
mercilessly in an attempt to upset their monotoness assur-
ances that he too can be saved. The oldest evangelist has an
angelic smile and sort of an inner glow as he sings "Jesus
Wants You for a Sunbeam" to two embarassed little girls.
The evangelists leave without any converts in tow. The grubby
young man will appear at Speakers corners next week to
harass them.
Most of the Speakers at Hyde Park have this kind of love-
hate relationship with some of their audience. The speakers
and the hecklers have been confronting each other with the
same arguments at the Corner every Sunday for years.
One middle-aged man, who talks about the injustice done
to his son by Scotland yard ---the son was hung for a murder
that his father believes he didn't commit --- has over 10
