A man suspended himself upside down in Trafalgar Square to protest
against the rising costof living yesterday. Herbert Crossman, 60, from
Harrow, hung upside down from a crane for two hours in central
London,attached by the ankles with a bungee rope.
Will and Guy heard that he did not prepare for his suspension, but
Herbert did have a medical check to make sure he had goodblood
pressure and circulation. We have learned that he was protesting
against what he described as the 'take, take, takeattitude' of the
British Government.
He said he demonstrated how the British public is 'haemorrhaging
money' by lining up three tubs beneath him to catch money as it fell
from his pockets: one tub for the Government, one for utility bills
and one in red for his income.
Mr. Crossman then added, 'Everything is going up - gas, electricity,
the congestion charge, parking, petrol - everything. It's our money
the Government is spending and wasting, not their fat-cat salaries. If
I was doing what they are in my business I'd be out of work by now.'
