How would we do it?
Now come on Matt, you can't go asking reasonable questions like that. Why can't you just wave a placard and shout mindless jingoistic slogans?

Believe it or not, so do I. But I'm angry at their leaders, who are fully aware of the legal situation. There is absolutely no hope in hell of these poor blokes who are standing outside power stations and refineries of getting what they're after here. They have been sold a lie and are being used as pawns in someone else's grand political game.
