The protesters make a valid point : the government pays no heed to public opinion and uses a high-handed approach to the governance of the United Kingdom. Therefore, because they do not have an effective voice and democracy is clearly not working people who wish to state their legitimate views are prevented from doing so and forced to adopt other means of attracting attention. Witness the recent occupation of the roof of the Houses of Parliament, the demonstrations at Heathrow Airport and the obstruction of the gas pipeline project, the installation of Trident at Faslane, etc.etc.

"The Nineteenth century saw a great Springtime of Nations as the revolutions of 1848 saw new countries created the length and breadth of Europe. In our world today we are now seeing our own Spring Awakening with people and cultures that have long been dormant and subdued asserting their right to exist, their right to dream." Adam Price MP
