Being over cautious and not expressing your feelings publicly is entirely your right, there are those who are more demonstrative through words than deeds, activists and everything in between it has no baring on strength of feeling that they protest in this manner.
I totally agree that as with the student protests it will be this example of social disorder that will be used to tarnish anyone who chooses to march, protest or demonstrate against the proposed cuts.
This divide and conquer mentality is a proven formula and as such will be replicated to suit any issue sadly.

Simple and pure double standards Kizzy.

I shouldn't but I'm goingto try to speak for you, if I am wrong I apologise.

I think and believe that you, and certainly I would, have supported the grievance of these marchers, even if it had been a Labour govt; now proposing to make an unspecified 10 billion pounds of cuts to the most vulnerable.

Therein lies the difference as to us.
