Эта необычная традиция началась в Великобритании в середине XIX века. С тех пор в Speakers’ Corner выступали многие известные люди, в том числе Карл Маркс, Владимир Ленин и писатель Джордж Оруэлл. Часто в Speakers’ Corner собираются довольно необычные люди. Любой может прийти и поговорить на любую тему. Зрители приходят посмотреть на них скорее ради развлечения, чем потому, что им интересно, что те хотят сказать. Сейчас в Великобритании и даже в других странах есть и другие Speakers’ Corners. Они, похоже, по-прежнему популярны!
