ANTI-MONARCHISTS display a bunch of nettles instead of a sprig of oak on 29th May - Nettle Day.

The Stinging Nettle:

The stinging nettle only

Will still be found to stand:

The numberless, the lonely,

The thronger of the land,

The leaf that hurts the hand.

That thrives, come sun, come showers;

Blow east, blow west, it springs;

It peoples towns, and towers

Above the courts of Kings,

And touch it and it stings.

A. E. Housman (1859-1936)

29th May - is NETTLE DAY!
