Steve emailed me: Not at all. It would be pretty perverse – even by my standards – to object to messages I was attempting to send from the plinth receiving more attention elsewhere. And especially when accompanied by the thoughtful and sensitive commentary you have written. So thank you. I'm touched that you should think it worthwhile. At the risk of boring-for-England about my hour on the plinth, I'd only add that in addition to highlighting Aung San Suu Kyi's situation (that certainly worked – she got another 18 months of house arrest on the following Tuesday) I was also hoping to draw attention to Free Tibet. The green ribbon represents them. The flowers and their ribbons on the right of the plinth were in Burmese colours – more precisely, the colours of the Free Burma movement – and on the left in Tibetan colours. I didn't expect these messages to get through equally, but it simply felt too selfish to me to not in part use my hour to reach out to others. As it happens, more of the messages came through via the radio mike the One & Other team offer participants, which, of course, picked up my mobile phone conversations. Should you the paint on your walls not have dried, all of this is archived on the One & Other website – just click on Plinthers and a searchable (by time and date) archive hoves into view.

Now granted I don't know your friend, Steve, but it sure looks to me like he's throwing a bridal bouquet there to some other lucky person on the Plinth. 🙂
