As someone who's on the other side of the world - is this real? I mean, seriously?
How many of these "protestors" are there? I haven't seen any pictures of huge crowds. The only photo I have seen showed about 4 or 5 cranky looking people standing in front of a bus.
The whole thing smells like news media being a) lazy and b) hungry for a "conflict" story and so playing right into the protestors' hands. From what I can see, this shouldn't be a story at all.

- venus 13y agoI usually like the Guardian, but yeah, they've dropped the ball on this one. "Revolt"? In what possible sense could this be even compared to a popular revolt?
- tomp 13y ago> They tend to the sensationalist. Really? Any arguments/examples to back that up?
- jusben1369 13y agoWell I can think of one fairly recent example....... ;)
