And what on earth do you think you're proving by this nonsense?

How many people can afford to give up their jobs to protest in this way? Could you? I doubt it.

It's not some pathetic desire (as you imply) simply to "get on telly" it is a desire to make sure that their *presence* is seen. to let you and our government know that there *ARE* a large number of people who object to what is happening and are willing to give up a day to attend a protest to express that objection.

If you think that this is "jumping on a band wagon" they you really have *no idea* what you are talking about.
