Mr. Mark Boyle, belongs to a leftist organization known as "The Freeconomy Movement". They believe money is the cause of all the problems in the world and that we can form a world where money is unnecessary and everything can be had for free "And" then we will have "Peace in our own time".
We used to call these people bums and freeloaders or hippies but to the enlightened leftists among us they are now known as "humanitarians" and "visionaries" questing for "Peace in our own time".
Mr Boyle had planed to backpack on foot from Bristol, England to Mahatma Gandhi's birthplace in Porbander, India. So with only a t-shirt, sandals and a bandage, he set forth from Bristol.
And four weeks later gave up his quest after reaching Calais, France.
It seems that Mr Boyle didn't speak French and those dimwitted fascist Frenchmen though that Mr Boyle was a scruffy, unkempt, penniless, freeloader looking for a free meal instead of a scruffy, unkempt, penniless, freeloader looking for a free meal and bring us peace in our own time!
And we were THAT close, too!
