What would make you join a protest march on the UK streets?

Used to, lots just like paddyann.

Now limited, but reading above, if they try to take our RIGHT to peaceful protest away, I'd be there come what may.

There are methods of protesting other than marching and with the age demographic of Gransnet marching would be far down the list for us.

I remember during South Africa’s apartheid era being part of a demonstration where the white SA cricket team were prevented from reaching the match venue when we gridlocked the streets from their hotel in our cars. As the match was to be televised live worldwide the message was loud and clear to the South African government.

We need ideas for an appropriate alternative to taking to the streets.

The French know how to protest - they did a pretty good revolution back in the day.
I’ve been on a good few marches, and will do again. Anti Brexit, pro NHS, anti government, climate crisis, we’ve got to stand up up for the right to protest.

And animal welfare

The Tories trashing the environment.

They can stuff their right to March and strike I will always ignore any human right violations.

I’m prepared to march against the government taking away my right to march. And the right to strike. Both of which seem to be on their agenda.

I agree with this. The last march I went on was a climate crisis march.

I've been on marches for loads of things over the years CND was my first and have marched almost yearly since with them or protested at Faslane ,I've marched for the Palestinian cause many times and will again,did the poll tax marches back in the day .Marched to save the local hospital ,Dozens of Independence marches and rallies,,The march against the Blair war when I was sure the numbers on the street were bound to be heard ..sadly not.I'll continue to march for and against the things I feel strongly about for as long as Im capable .
My late GM was a suffragette ,she marched not just for womens rights but for local causes and told us all her stories when we were wee,I guess I caught the bug from her

I have never been much of a protestor, though I have participated in my fair share of civil disobedience. I am in the US, but I have finally found the one thing that will get me off my arse and on the streets: the right of women to make choices about their own bodies. Because apparently we have gone backwards 100 years lately.

I'm ready right now!

I can’t march, it would have to be a sit down protest

Me too. But I think we are far too passive here in the UK.

I don’t feel that passionate about anything ……
