UK Uncut organised a demonstration, sorry a street party, outside Nick Clegg's home on Saturday. (An interesting blog piece on it here )

I was really appalled by this. I don't like Nick Clegg but I fail to see how anyone has the right to protest in this manner. I don't agree with the views of UKuncut - can I now park myself outside their homes whenever I see fit to protest over their views? There are right ways and wrong ways to express your views. UKuncut just strike me as a bunch of nasty, intolerant, self righteous pillocks.
 
They are a bunch of *****. On Radio 5 Live they interviewed one of the unwashed representatives and she wouldn't give her address out, so others with a different view to hers couldn't have a 'street party' in her road. Weird that..

Should've all been arrested. Protesting in a public place is one thing but doing it in a residential area is just stupid.
 
UKUncut are the type of people to sarcastically say "We're all in this together eh?" and then demand that the rich should be the only ones who pay for the deficit thus meaning they don't believe in that mantra anymore than the supposed 'Toffs' they are rallying against.
 
The problem with UK uncut is that they think having an opinion, no matter how irrational, uninformed, stupid, jealous or just plain insane, should be enough to allow them to enforce that opinion on everyone else...

It's all perfectly legal.

Lots of things are legal (and should remain so) that are repellent. Just because it's legal doesn't mean it's beyond criticism.

Most of these protesters seem to be rebels without a cause - they're in it for the protesting, and will attach to any "right on" cause.

I was momentarily pleased with some of the protests last year, until I realised they were just students posing with the hippies.

There's a great deal of change needed in our country, but UK Uncut are a bunch of morons and will achieve nothing.
 
If you don't want people camped outside your house don't become a politician and make unpopular decisions, it comes with the job in my eyes. It's reached a point where disrupting the personal lives of politicians is the only way protesters won't be completely ignored and dismissed as anarchists out to smash up the city, whose fault is that?

Of course, everything UK Uncut was doing was entirely legal and above board.

So what makes these people so evil compared to the corporate tax dodgers who most people on OCUK happily defend?

They're a pack of uninformed idiots. Disrupting someone's private life is unacceptable behaviour, regardless if it's a politician - don't like the politician, don't vote for them.

Last I saw Vodafone weren't outside someone's surburban house, disrupting their lives and their neighbours.
