There is no point campaigning about anything in this country. the government doesn't listen, and in fact if you protest is big enough and controversial enough (eg the Chinese human rights protests) the government will actually have the police stop you from protesting and campaigning.

Democracy, 'New Labour' style.

I found out to my cost that if you make too much of a fuss about cameras and the police attitude to them, the police will simply have you. I effectively had my take away business shut down by the police who reacted to my complaints against them by stopping my delivery drivers EVERY time they left the shop.

Contrary to established wisdom, the police are the enemies of law abiding citizens everywhere.
