I thought the "only legitimate purpose" argument is a very good one. I can't think of any time that I've been to a petrol station and it wasn't for that purpose. You'd be pretty pissed off if you went into a bar and found the Clunt Clown Army there for the sole purpose of "beverage purchase prevention".  |

He's got a point, I'd be insanely furious if I was arrested for browsing.

If a group of people were singled out by police for browsing then there would be cause for protest. Biofuel protests aren't known as the "everyone goes to a petrol station and just browses" protests though.  | |

He wasn't talking about the protest dozy, he was talking about the report.

Sorry mate, I still think we're talking about two different things and I'm too tired to express or care how thats possible.
