Free Hugs
"Free Hugs" is an international movement that does what it says on the tin; and a mass hug was going on when I went to Trafalgar Square to look at a demo (which had ended). It seems to make people uncomfortable, but also amused or happy at the same time. The woman's reaction at the front seems to say it all.
