lets try a little controversy and see if anyone is paying attention.
Albert Dryden built a cottage. In his view legally, in the local council's view illegally.
When they came to knock it down in 1991, with bulldozers and a film crew, Dryden defended his home by shooting the the chief planning officer, a reporter and a policeman and apparently at some cars and a bulldozer.
How would you react to your home being knocked down with a filmcrew to record and complete the humiliation? Dryden comes across as a bit of a nasty weirdo, but would we have acted much differently, up against "the system", worn down by argument and little left to lose?
I think it's a case of the little guy up against the system with no way out.
