Darned cockwombles.
i would guess that most people agree that things are incredibly fucked, worried and angry at bankers etc, but then the press seems to try and create a them and us mentality before the protests, you know, danger, riots, hippies, what they want, to be honest the protesters often do as good a job at alienating the general populous as the press does.
That penning people in tactic is shit, esp as they take everyones pics, names and addresses on the way out, plus it essentially causes people to kick off, don't know what the legality of that is, taking peoples details without premise to do so.
again, yet more reason to hand out flyers with people's rights on them. Saw a good article in Big Issue recently about stop-and-search rights, which clarified things in a very easy-to-understand way.
