There may only have been a few of them Andrew, but they seem to have got a fair bit of national media coverage. Which I would imagine was the purpose of the demonstration.

Hat's off to them for getting off their backsides and making a stand - that's what we need. It's unusual for people to organise and protest over an issue like this!

Re: revolution in the air
The guy has been wheeling & dealing since the mid 70's & your "revolution" is only kicking in now ? At the end of 2010 ! Even being generous that's 30 odd years late don't you think ?
