      Don’t worry. The protest won’t matter at all and a large majority won’t even hear about it. Gives layabouts an excuse to layabout some more.

      Yeah that’s a really good point.

      The general consensus seems to be that doing something is better than doing nothing.

      I really disagree though. After a few failed attempts people will lose heart and get in line.

      There seems to be half a dozen different protests now too, all on different days with no cohesive objectives

        with no cohesive objectives

        That’s a pro. As soon as there’s a clear motif or leader, it’s very easy to undermine that single point of weakness. A general rabble sends the clear vibe of “we are not impressed, and might burn things” with the air of uncertainty to keep the powers that be on their toes.
