Peaceful protests

As Homer Simpson once said, never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers.

Take this for example.

People have taken their maximum allowance of books from Stony Stratford library, Milton Keynes - clearing all 16,000 volumes from its shelves.

Milton Keynes Council is considering closing the library within its draft plans to save £26m in 2011/12.

Friends of Stony Stratford Library (FOSSL) said they were amazed at how everyone had pulled together.

I received an email this morning urging me to boycott BP and Esso until they bring their prices down. Granted this is a stupid idea and will only make the other oil companies richer and possibly monopolise the industry still further, but still. People power and all that.

Jamie Oliver was urging us to ask for kinds of fish which are thrown back into the sea wastefully, to ask at the supermarket and create a demand.

I wonder if the sleeping masses realise the power we have at our disposal to peacefully protest.

Plenty to protest about, let's face it. VAT increase for starters. Price of a pint. Price of a litre of petrol.
