If peaceful protest gets you lied to and arrested en masse you may as well just trash the place and be away sharpish. The polite tea-sipping uKuncut lot got a night in a jail cell and a court date while the bloke who smashed the window at Lloyds tsb got home in time for family guy.

Also all the rabble rousing in the house of commons just shows how direct action is really more effective than standing around in Hyde park. As vince cable says why should any government change their fundamental policies as a result of a protest of that kind?
