You're right, John, except if the situation was reversed there wouldn't be peaceful protests, there'd be marching down the streets screaming anti-british insults whist burning our flag....
Quite possibly Andy, my point specifically included the word peaceful. No point in lowering yourself to other tactics. Base it on human or civil rights or some such. It's surprising what a well organized, non knuckle dragging protest can achieve. Pensioners, yep, blue rinse brigade, protested here year before last I think it was and almost brought down the govt at the time. All it takes is persistence
