Except we make better tea in the UK.

Methinks direct action for change is a good idea actually. In a totalitarian society.

We don't have that. We have a democratic government, elected by and for the people. Ok, not perfect, and at present, a coalition that has managed to give us a conservative agenda that is hamstrung by lib dem concerns. Regardless of your views, it is not a good combination...

In case anybody didn't notice, we have just had an election and to waffle on about getting out of bed and having your face painted before giving them a chance is to be in dispute with democracy itself. Even Milliband Jr knows that.

I really do agree with lobbying MPs, writing letters to newspapers, helping to form the policies of alternative ideas (New Labour are looking for a direction if anybody wants to write it for them.)   

But this talk of opting out of the democratic process? Isn't that what criminal terrorists do? I note a few were banged up for terrorising contractors to science research companies the other day.

Surely nobody here is advocating grinding the country to a halt so their minority view, based largely on envy, gets through? Grow up.
