Protesting too much?
I heard a comedy show Radio4 last night starring the marvellous Mark Thomas.
A while back the government here brought in a rule saying that you had to get permission to have a protest anywhere near the UK parliament.
So he did; lots and lots of times. He also now holds the world record for number of protests in 1 day (21). It’s a very entertaining show and you can of a listen (for the next week or so) here. If you’d like an idea of why he did this it involves a friend of his and a politically dangerous sponge cake.
Have fun.
[edit: You can also download the show here. I assume the link will last more than the next week]

I heard it as well and stayed in my car to catch the last ten minutes. Very good.
You saved me writing a blog post recommending it
