To be honest I'd never really heard of Peter Tatchell until the last week or so. Until very recently ME suffers automatically owed an undying debt of gratitude to just about anyone who gave a shit, and I'm not sure we've moved on that far from beggars can't be choosers yet.I'm a bit wary of Peter Tatchell, but I'm glad to see ME presented as a social justice issue.
He seems ok to me, he's got lots of followers so his interest will increase awareness, and I can't help admiring someone who tried to arrest Mugabe. With any luck he may even try a citizen's arrest on Sir Simon or one of the PACE authors, and then we'll have a legitimate comparison for abuses of power and crimes against humanity without breaching Godwin's law.
