The Bushel case of 1670, celebrated in a plaque in the Old Bailey, was that of two Quakers, William Mead and William Penn. Back then, nice middle-class liberals actually stood for something, and they wouldn't give up.

Sir Edward Davey take note.

I applaud those standing today in solidarity with Trudi Warner.
