Between Batman at Buckingham Palace and pro-hunt protestors breaking into parliament this week, I'm starting to get a little worried. Not for the safety of our sovereign or glorious leaders but because these assorted right wing causes have started to realise something: public protests get more headlines, therefore makes more impact on our media obsessed society, than bribing a couple of MPs to mutter incoherently about their token issue of the week in the House of Commons.

It worries me that they're taking to the street/palace because this is our space. And them entering our territory has not automatically allowed us to enter theirs: we don't have the money for sly backhanders and party donations, we don't have the backing of big business and big media business to do our bidding, and, critically, with a few rare exceptions, we don't have their unity.

Also, the police/security services have been criticised for being "heavy handed" and bumbling - which will be read by the right-wing press as an attack on freedom and individuality, and the failure of Blair to maintain order. In reaction to this, the police will over-compensate and become more right-wing in tendencies/reactions: they will show they're just as "heavy-handed" with lefties at the next anti-exploitation demonstration (whatever it might be). Someone (else) will get killed by them. Murder will be the only way they can prove their objectivity.

As usual, the right want it all and will take it from us, just because they can.
