It only appears to be contrived when you're looking at it through a twisted prism. Maybe clean your glasses, old bean?You not think its all a bit contrived these protests closing roads and pouring milk away etc etc. All offences in their own right that could be acted upon. When the public are suitably enraged they won't mind a few more laws being brought in to curtail their freedoms as long as it deals with those pesky demonstrators eh.
