[edit] Criticisms

I think there should be a section on the many critisms of him. Many people have said that his protest is an eyesore. I've also heard that he's got 7 kids he's obviously not taking care of. He also said he opposed WW2. He's also a Christian fundamentalist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.16.165.41 (talk) 22:37, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] the elder of twins by 25 minutes?

How is this relevant? PizzaMargherita 16:48, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Well, it's not exactly doing any harm, is it? David | Talk 19:02, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
Yes it is. Like every other irrelevant detail, it is diluting relevant information. PizzaMargherita 19:49, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
That rather raises the question of what exactly is relevant. This is a biographical article about Brian Haw, and so his whole life story is relevant, not just what he is doing now. If the article was at Parliament Square anti-war protest then it would be irrelevant to state that he was a twin, but as it is his biography, it is perfectly relevant. David | Talk 08:15, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
So are you saying that we should include that he has gray hair, that he likes mashed potatoes, that he took part in a spelling bee when he was 12 and he arrived 26th? I think we have to draw a line somewhere. PizzaMargherita 09:15, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
I am delting "25 minutes" as this is completely irrelvant. Details like this do not belong in an article on Wikipedia. [Hicham]
Removed the rest for the same reason. I'm sure I've seen a policy on this but I just realised that WP:TRIVIA is not a valid shortcut. If people start reverting I can dig it up. PizzaMargherita 05:05, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
Ah, here it is Wikipedia:Trivia. PizzaMargherita 05:08, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
Specifically: If you see information that really is "trivia": be bold, remove it. PizzaMargherita 05:10, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Surname

Is his surname taken or given? He reminds me of Lord Hee Haw, indicted for treason during WWII. - MSTCrow 02:00, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My life in serious organised crime

...should be mentioned here I think.

[edit] Latest case report

Director of Public Prosecutions v Haw [2007] EWHC 1931 (Admin) (06 August 2007)

3.The issues raised by the case stated are as follows:
i) Whether the statutory powers available to the Commissioner of Police under section 134 of SOCA can be exercised by a subordinate on his behalf;
ii) Whether the conditions imposed on Mr Haw were ultra vires, or incompatible with Articles 10 and 11 of the European Convention on Human Rights ('ECHR'), as unreasonable or insufficiently clear. Ron Barker 12:21, 8 August 2007 (UTC)


[edit] External links

These were external links, but it's getting rather bulky. If there's valid info it should be given in the article and they should be cited as refs. If there's not extra valid info, we probably don't need it as an external link:

[edit] The dead baby photo in the State Britain work

I saw a bit about the State Britain exhibit on the news the other day, and thought I recognised the picture of the dead baby, supposedly "maimed and burnt in missile a attack" (quote from the State Britain article) in it. So I did a little research into it, and found out the photo (that can be seen at the 3rd reference on this very article here) is actually a photo of a little baby boy who died, aged 3 weeks of cardiovascular arrest due to a rare disease called "Harlequin type ichthyosis", at the Pamukkale University Hospital in Denizli, TURKEY! This dead child was nothing to do with the war in Iraq or the "War on Terror" or whatever, he was born to unrelated parents in their early 20's after a normal pregnancy. Here is the source for this of course; http://www.ispub.com/ostia/index.php?xmlFilePath=journals/ijd/vol1n1/harlequin.xml It's a case study about the child (be warned though, the pictures are pretty grim).

Did a little more research with some help (you know who you are ;), here is a close up of the photo in the State Britain exhibit [1]. Obviously it's not the same photo as the one in the case study (although it might be the same baby), but it is quite clearly a Harlequin baby and not the effect of a bomb blast. It's a pity the tag on the child in the photo is only partly exposed and we can't see any writing, then we'd be able to work out what country it was. Ryan4314 (talk) 02:56, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
