I like the idea of peoples corner , but I heard of the police lifting and intimidating people recently .
Trying to get these guys on nostr lol:
Speakers Corner debate on liberal secularism humanism & gender identity
('Bob' comes from a Christian perspective, but I think the nature of the debate, content and idea of Speakers Corner in general is of a wider interest to people on nostr maybe).

Not sure I know of this incident but wouldn't surprise me. The police are a presence there for sure. There has been a stabbing that I know of and there's often scuffles and whatnot.
I think I quite like the idea of nostr being in a way a potential online parallel or something. (Although not a substitution to the physical space of speakers corner).
