Protesters Gallup To The Polls!

A recent Gallup poll has shown that support for protests and NVDA is up amongst the public. The poll shows that 68% of people believe there are times when protesters are justified in breaking the law. Protesters who broke the law in disrupting motorway building have the support of 62%, while illegal protests against the building of a nuclear power station would have the backing of 70%. According to The Telegraph, "It suggests a growing disillusionment with the response of politicians and government to public opinion" However, according to The Editor, "Middle England needs the Riot Act read to it. The belief that it is sometimes right to break the law as a protest has spread out from the traditionally more anarchic classes - students, trade unionists, unilateralists - to embrace all sections of opinion including those who used to know better."
