Yes, and let's also have a big man with a gun at polling stations,
shooting people if they don't vote for the right party.

People at polling stations don't screw up services for other people.
If these muppets want to demonstrate fine, but if they make life
difficult for people who just want to get about their business (including
the people in the exhibition) they should be treated with contempt.
Inflicting your opinions on others whether they want it or not is hardly
democratic and personally I'm sick of these so called activists who seem
to think the voting booth isn't good enough for them and they need to
cause trouble instead.

B2003, you have again taken the words out of my mouth, sir. Well said.

I'm always amused that people who think this way tend to also think
Maggie Thatcher was the greatest PM the country's ever had. That she
wouldn't have been able to get near Parliament if a load of bolshie
Suffragettes hadn't tied themselves to railings and generally acted
like 'so called activitsts' is an irony presumably lost on them...
