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?

I was on a protestabout three weeks ago, through the centre of Bristol in the pissing rain, with about 4000 other Trade Unionists and other people. This included a bunch of misguided wannabe 'anarchists' who turned up for a ruck with the filth, and got one when the mounted police charged in and started belting them with batons because they were allegedly displaying a "FCUK the cuts" banner. The police weren't too impressed when half the crowd turned round and forced them back off College Green. Apart from those few minutes it was excellent- a group of strangers collectively protesting, lots of support from the general public, bands playing and some great public speaking from John McInally and other TU reps.
