Did you ever say enough and take to the streets? Hold a placard and sneer at the law?

Or politely stand at a rebellious gig or event?

I attended Rock against the Rich with Joe Strummer heading (yes I know the rockers got rich and I didn’t )

I've been to protests. I don't think I broke the law while doing so.

I fought the law…

The law didn’t win, two officers were reprimanded and received “training”.

Back in the day when theatres routinely played the national anthem at the end, I always refused to stand when everybody else got up.

I attended a few protests when I was in university, but quick I realised they are a waste of time and that the usual suspects turned up at every protest, enjoying causing trouble.

Protest marches and deliberate civic disturbances are now highly ineffective,there are much better ways to promote an agenda or cause, and disturbances do more harm than good.

I joined the Young Communists to fight the Poll Tax. A short lived membership.

A large proportion of protestors don't even understand what it is they are protesting against.

I realised that pretty quickly in my uni days, our students union organised marches to the Irish parliament, and it was bloody obvious that the troublemakers were not students at our uni but had infiltrated so they could cause trouble.

Happens the most well-meaning of protest groups, makes them incontrollable.

Poll Tax drew millions more people into the tax net but the trade-off was that their existence had to be registered.

That meant that they would have to be on the electoral roll and as they were unlikely to vote Tory, poll tax simply had to go.
