With the possibility of mass protest being more likely than not, here are some of my ideas with which to make a much larger impact and to strengthen the overall body of argument against media scrutiny and wilful misinterpretation:

1. Uniform. The success of the Civil Rights Movement in the United States had many factors to it, but for the purposes of this argument, I will draw upon one: they looked smart.

No visible piercings, shirts and ties for the men, dresses for the women. They looked like the aspirational ideal of the middle class who, to a certain degree, control the direction of public opinion. They related to them in a way that has been denied by the overall cavalcade of anarcho-class tourists, dreadlocked jugglers and countercultural scene kids that we experience today. This is no way a slight on those who express themselves thusly, but in order to win greater arguments, a certain degree of discipline is not anathema in service of the greater good. Dress like you are visiting an elderly relative or going for a job interview that you actually want.

2. Non-violence. This should go with saying, if we are to occupy the moral high ground then there is a cost to that, and again, it goes towards discipline. Self-defence, I would argue, is permissible but only so much that you can extricate yourself from the situation. As in several schools of martial arts - you are either in or out. Be out.

3. Performance Art. Make it subtle, one of the great ideas in Cory Doctorow's For The Win is a protest in which the participants merely organised a flashmob in which they arranged to meet, eating an ice cream with the further variation that they would appear holding a second, which they then would pass to a passer-by. Which confused the authorities, but it makes a good point, being imaginative, being viral is arguably so much more effective in campaigning for your particular cause.

4. The Corser Cost. We have social networking and email, flashmobs and SMS/MMS, why are the Trades Union Movement not using them
