This is the way to deal with such people

Climate activists glue themselves to car dealership but complain when staff turn off lights and heating
Staff left them to protest in the dark and they were annoyed they weren't given a 'bowl to urinate and defecate in a decent manner'.
The ends don't justify the means.
Trying to destroy the magna carta, the foundation of democracy both here and abroad, isn't the right protest.
If she is protesting against evil why does she think evil people would care about democracy?

TBH I like protests but if you're going to protest only do it if you're willing to follow through on your conviction.This is the way to deal with such people

In this case, literally.
You have to remember it's going to be all about their human rights.

Agreed. Thought while I’m fine with people protesting and following their convictions, when it involves public damage, nuisance or vandalism etc. they deserve all that’s coming to them.

I'm trying to think of any protest that's not involved damage, violence or vandalism that's ever succeeded though.
E: I think by their very nature protests are supposed to be a nuisance

Why don't "Just Stop Oil" go and protest in the countries that produce the majority of the oil?
I feel that would be much more of an efficient use of their time.

They can poop themselves all night and the staff play dumb in the morning

So normal people know to avoid them at all costs and don't try to get friendly if they are your neighbours.
No doubt in a few years some karans will be crying that the purple hair brigade is a derogatory stereotype with no foundations in reality

It's the salamander effect - they are the toxins in the environment and the bright colours are to warn everyone to stay away....
Cant think of many that have involved damage, violence or vandalism and have been successful ?
Poll tax riots maybe but other than that......protesting seems to be more about making them feel good about themselves rather than actually creating change.

Suffragettes was probably one of the most violent, that managed to get some women and a lot of men who were allowed to fight in wars, but not vote, the vote.
The fact you had to go back that far sort of proves my point. Protests - violent or otherwise, rarely, if at all, succeed in their aims. Take the current pro-Palestinian marches every weekend - do they really think they will make even the slightest bit of difference - other than costing the tax payer millions for policing them its just a nice but totally pointless day out.

Stop being silly, twas an example.
You've provided no examples of the converse. I'd be happy to hear them unless you just want to keep rambling.

Will cracking the glass on a copy of the Magna Carta stop us using oil? How about throwing paint at a priceless painting? Would that work do you think?
I assume all the idiots will come out to play again now the weather is better.
