The story of a protester outside the famous toy store Hamleys on London’s Regent Street has just gone viral on Twitter, for reasons that will soon become apparent.
It’s not Hamley’s that he doesn’t like – although we suspect he’s probably not a fan – it’s the children. All children.

Reportedly, it’s a guy named Danny Shine, also known as “London’s most famous megaphone man,” who has been doing this kind of thing for some time.

As you can imagine, it has provoked a lot of reactions…
Just a father who still has more than two weeks of summer vacation left.

That’s so English. I couldn’t imagine Spanish, Italians, etc. doing something like that.

To be honest, I went to this Hamley’s with my children once and after that I started hating every single child on earth.

And Emil’s answer was a gift that still brings joy.
No, because you are worse than children.
