This is a question Protest!

Sit-ins. Walk-outs. Smashing up the headquarters of a major political party. Chaining yourself to the railings outside your local sweet shop because they changed Marathons to Snickers. How have you stuck it to The Man?

Well yes
That's a good point. A calm and rational protest about something fundamental to shaping human rights, education and freedom gets very little coverage. A slightly violent protest against student fees gets large scale coverage, makes front page news, and people talk about it having the power to "break" the coalition. Why couldn't it be a more peaceful protest they say.

Because that's exactly what "they" want. A quiet demo, and then everything can go back to the way it was before.
