Protest!Sit-ins. Walk-outs. Smashing up the headquarters of a major political party. Chaining yourself to the railings outside your local sweet shop because they changed Marathons to Snickers. How have you stuck it to The Man?

Remember the poll tax protests?Personally, I wasn't giving a shit about it. My parents were moaning about the rates revaluation and were paying less under the community charge than they were in rates, so my family were actually winners from it.
However, my flatmate at the time decided to go to Edinburgh to protest about the introduction of this mediaeval, punitive tax. He put his name down for the free bus to Edinburgh, and off he went.
It was only when he returned that evening that he told us he wasn't interested in protesting about the poll tax. He had just fancied a day out in Edinburgh and the opportunity of a free trip was too good to turn down. He's spent the day shopping in Princes Street and drinking in the pubs of Rose Street!

I've done things like this beforeback in the day when you used to have to turn up to do the MI5 psychometric testing in person (it's done on the internet now) they'd write out a cheque for your travel expenses. Book yourself into the 9am slot and you've got a free day out in London!
I failed the testing though!
