Sorry, I obviously wasn't clear. I think the protest 'Demo' (the march) is perfect, and to some extent I feel that gathering at Milbank was good - I even thought up to the point where the fire was lit a good point was made. However, I do disagree in theory with the smashing of the windows and pursuing violence.
(Although it did make me feel a
little bit happy to think about Nick Clegs reaction)
