Just Dave, the PM, has the quaint idea that protestors are just supposed to go away.
That's funny. I thought the idea of protest was to piss off the powers so that
something might get done. That's the way every revolution, or almost revolution has happened.
The almost revolutions were cases where the government understood the protest and the size of the protest, and then did something to fix the problem that was causing the protest. Like when the Bolivians rampaged after the US multi-national company running the water works demanded that people pay for rainwater.
Anyway, we're in one of those situations. Austerity, it's called. Austerity for us, socialism for the banks.
Maybe Dave is making fun of us. That's the first stage according to the immortal Gandhi.
First they make fun of you, then they fear you, then they attack you , then you win.
