Yes, this is the bit that I found most eyebrow raising.

There are people (looking at the Mail/Express/Sun et al in particular) who delight in talking up this 'ooh, there'll be trouble, won't it be awful, don't go' / 'two people chucked something - entire protest invalidated!' angles for their own(ers') political reasons.

I was on JA duty last Saturday, but if I'd gone, I'd have taken a folding stool etc. Plus followed the 'what's happening where' feeds.
