The Musing Individualist goes to Oxford

Remember Charles Amos?

I wrote about him in January after the former IEA intern and local councillor popped up outside the Houses of Parliament with a banner and leaflets opposing the generational smoking ban.

Charles's campaign, 'Defend Freedom, Stop the Tobacco Ban', was launched in the New Year and his first act was to spend a day in East Grinstead, his home town, collecting signatures from shoppers opposed to the ban.

He described the day, and the mixed response he received, in an amusing post on his blog, The Musing Individualist.

He then took his campaign to Westminster.

His most recent action day was in Oxford (above) where he collected more signatures with a handful of friends and associates.

I admire anyone who takes the time and trouble to stand up for their principles, and what I like about Charles is that, as well as enjoying the cut and thrust of political debate, he seems to have a sense of humour.

Chris Snowdon likes him too, interviewing him in February for the Swift Half podcast.
