He looks like one the Albion crew from the 80's into 90's. But a lot less hair now. Maybe I am wrong but the face is very familiar.
You have kids no?, it is about the only place I can safely take my four year old.

I've just watched that - OMG !
If I was out in a restaurant, perhaps with my kids, and those gobby do-gooders came waltzing in like that - I would feel my human rights had been invaded too ... so it "get-out" didn't work, what is the next option, police called?
I wouldn't have punched the ring leader but I might have shoved that megaphone where the sun don't shine.
Just love how they all traipse in with their evidence recorders in hand - clearly expecting their actions to create a backlash - a charge on inciting violence wouldn't go amiss here ....

When was the last time you ever saw these activists protest outside of a fishmongers? Didn't think so.

Yes, and we eat pizza out regularly and every place we go - small independents - is considerably better than Pizza Express.

What an absolute moron. Your quintessential bully who'd shit his pants if someone near his size confronted him.
So what, protestors come in a restaurant. Let the restaurant deal with it, take the moment to teach your kids what protest is about and treat it as an educational experience.
Anyone scared of a megaphone and some placards, maybe stay at home and order pizza in, rather than run the risk of massively overreacting.

Not going to click on a Sun link so haven't seen any of this, but a generally I think ....
Vegan activists should change their methods. They have valuable points to make about the treatment of animals and environmental effects of meat consumption, but a confrontational modus operandi, is only going to drive away a much larger number of moderate vegans who would probably join in a warmer, more witty, inclusive, educational approach to campaigning. It could also likely to have the effect of making people who see themselves as culturally very different from the vegans, to eat more meat just to spite them

Yep can't imagine any of the diners in that Pizza Express turning round and saying "you know what you're right, I'll eat some leaves instead". Do these restaurant invasions only happen in Brighton & Hove? Not sure I've heard of them happening elsewhere.

I'm looking forward to the day they try this in a Spoons.
As others have said, this approach of interrupting people's nights out is counter productive and more likely to turn people off the cause than promote it.
Agreed. At home we've gone from being a typical 'meat and two veg' family to a diet where we're about 70% vegetarian, 20% vegan and 10% meat - and that's nearly all chicken and fish, no mammals. (Aiming to up the vegan percentage and to go as near as dammit 0% meat). We've done it gradually and by informed choice, not because someone has shouted at us through a megaphone and ordered us to change our ways. I've never been the victim of a protest like that, but I HATE being ordered about and told what to do, so if I were ever caught up in a vegan protest my immediate reaction would be to order a freezer full of steaks and veal cutlets.
Oh, and that bloke's a ****.

Trying to impose your views on others is fascism - not generally the preserve of the left.
You need to see the bigger picture, old boy. You may think he was "minding his own business" but that libertarian attitude isn't shared by everyone, and certainly not these protestors.
