Every day and every night for nearly 10 years, Brian Haw held a vigil outside the British Parliament in London to protest the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, annoying the British politicians who supported those wars, for the most part by sending other people's children off to fight and sometimes die in them.
They also used vast sums of taxpayer funds, while what they supported has killed and maimed and orphaned millions of people as Britain's support for the U.S. war and occupation of those nations.
