If only they had this much zest and conviction for actual, troubling issues, dangerous issues. While I agree that disrupting a ceremony now is in poor taste, there are much bigger issues at play in the UK that deserve hands-on policing.
Sorry, what? And it's in good taste to piss away hundreds of millions of taxpayers money on a coronation? Please explain why people having a problem with this shouldn't exercise their right to protest.
The British royal family is accretive to the U.K. The coronation brought in billions of dollars of tourism and earned media. There are legitimate gripes one may have about the British royals, but costing the taxpayer isn't one of them, unless we're at the point of seizing their private lands.
Most people would consider coronating Jimmy Saville's BFF king to be in extremely poor taste. The protesters are the only respectable thing about this farce.
