Calling them cunts doesn't cost the taxpayers hundreds of grand to police.

read the OP's comments for the glee that is clearly being taken
whilst they are causing a huge problem and actually costing the system more, i am trying to do a job that is paying money into the same system.

i say "i" but i mean "everyone working here or otherwise spending money in the country's crippled economy".

how can stopping this possibly be a good thing?

The cost of the policing is a fairly redundant argument since the cost is measured in the hundreds of thousands
but the amount of money being cut is in the order of billions.

And they aren't stopping people doing their jobs, they are just making their feeling about the stupidity of the current governments attitude clear to the government. The best way to do that is to make the protest as large as possible so that their opinions are noted.

their opinions won't be noted
the government doesn't care.

there isn't enough money coming in to support everything that is going out. therefore people smashing stuff isn't going to change a red cent. the only way to improve it is to earn more money so you can pay more tax and make the country better off!

And the cuts the government are making
are going to hamper growth and cripple our economy again. Which is not going to make the country better off.

We should charge each protester a quid to be there and herd them all into Wembley
They can shout to their hearts content in there, and there is no way they could trash the surrounding area.

this is actually a very good idea
except that none of the protestors will want to pay a pound. the country OWES it to them to give them it for free, doncha know.
