It's kind of funny really, you are putting across a similar argument to
Michael Moore in his book, and I know you are no fan of his. But still,
surely doing something is better than doing nothing. I like to feel that,
although I may be only one of thousands on a march, a show of strength is
never a waste of time, and yes, we have informed our MP about our views.
After all, every few thousand people saying they disapprove of government
policy is a few thousand less votes come the next election.
