This ‘kids are horrible’ protestor outside Hamleys just went viral and this response to the Daily Mail was the gift that keeps on giving
A protestor outside Hamleys famous toy store in London’s Regent Street has just gone viral on Twitter for reasons which are about to become obvious.
It’s not Hamley’s he doesn’t like – although we’re guessing he’s probably not a fan – it’s kids. All kids.

It turns out it’s a chap called Danny Shine, according to reports, AKA ‘London’s most famous megaphone man’, who’s been doing this sort of thing for a while now.
HAHAHA saw him a few weeks ago pic.twitter.com/VWtQX3qj5w

It prompted lots of responses as you might imagine …
Just a dad who has more than 2 weeks of the summer holidays left.

This is just so English. I couldn’t imagine the Spanish, Italians, etc doing this.

To be honest I have been in that Hamley’s once with my kids and it made me hate every single child on earth.

… but there was one in particular that caught people’s attention, after MailOnline asked this.

And Emil’s response was the gift that keeps on giving.
No, because you’re more horrible than kids.
