    I hate how breaking things and disrupting people’s lives when you don’t get your own way has become the done thing.

      It’s not “the done thing” which is why it’s a protest and say, writing a letter to the news papers isn’t.

      This really isn’t a new phenomenon. New Zealand has a long history of it, too.

      In fact the Maori plowing movement at Parihaka directly influenced Mahatma Gandhi.
