Well that was interesting...
pollywog returns and starts acting like a dumbugger
Here's a clue Robbie, maybe you should read ThisInternet Argument Techniques
Some people are so dumb that they think they can walk around naked and argue people into believing they have clothes on. These people have made their way to the internet. -
If you want to do something, submit it to your usual spam junking service,
We actually have such a thing? Tell us more.

Oh, hang on -- that's not the Sun front page Charlie Brooker was tweeting about.

Would you like variations with that.

As for getting your point across...the basic premise of Non-violent direct action is that you need to provoke a response from authority. Currently the protest doesn't provoke a response so the need to change the law isn't obviously to wider society.
“There are just laws and there are unjust laws. I would agree with St. Augustine that an unjust law is no law at all… One who breaks an unjust law must do it openly, lovingly…I submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and willingly accepts the penalty by staying in jail to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the very highest respect for law.” – Martin Luther King, “Letter from the Birmingham Jail”.
