More details
Stupid signs declaring the fountains unsafe for public use must be challenged. A "mass wade" (without injury) may illustrate that we can safely form our own opinions about everyday things, and don't need a nanny state (and thanks, Ken, for bringing Trafalgar Square in the direction of the people, as it has always been).

This pledge is now closed, as its deadline has passed. You might be interested in these other pledges:

  • Ace Pledge, Stephen! I splashed around in the fountains during the Love Music Hate Racism gig, just before the signs were put up. A small child did fall over, but otherwise we survived without injury... I'm not sure if I'll be in London on the 3rd of September but I'll be sure to sign nearer the time if I am!
