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?

Protesting hippy motherIn the mid 80's (when I was about 10-ish) my Mum was a right old hippy, talking to trees and making us live in a filthy caravan (t'was a shite hole). One evening she shipped me and my brother off to stay with one of her hippy friends for the night.
Whilst eating my breakfast the next morning, said hippy friend was glued to the news on the tele. The headline story was all about a bunch of hippies who had broken into a nuclear weapons base and chained themselves to stuff. Low and behold, there was my mum being dragged away by a copper right on the morning news.
I'd like to say that I felt a surge of pride, that she was standing up to the man for what she beleived in. But I didn't. I was just thinking 'ffs mum, stop being a hippy twat'.
