Mark Thomas.

A while ago a comedian and political activist named Mark Thomas came to visit the uni and gave quite alot of us a rather rallying speech about the power that we have as actors and comedians. I don't think he came across as a scary man or someone who would cause actual violence to another human being.

In this article written by the Guardian he is named on a spotter card, that was dropped by police, as one of the people most likely to cause trouble at demonstrations. There is a series of articles surrounding it and they are all worth a read!
