genuine (a little culturally ignorant) question; how does one protest? If a 'protest' is at everyone's convenience is there any point?
-
Am not sure protesting environmental issues that are affecting everyone is self indulgent. Do you consider Ghandi, the suffragettes, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela etc etc to be self indulgent?

Got a bit caught up in this earlier:

Whilst I broadly sympathise with their cause, it all felt a little self-indulgent. Thousands of people will have been inconvenienced by them blocking such a main road, many of whom would have been on their way to the hospital just a little further on.
I reckon there must have been around 80 police officers, along with around 20 vehicles of various kinds deployed to try and direct the traffic and stop members of the public from getting 'involved'.
I am sure those resources could have been put to better use.
