@freshstart This is a common misconception about the point of protest. It is no good for me, as a citizen of the UK, to protest against the regimes of Iran, Russia, China or North Korea. The UK government already opposes and penalises and attacks those regimes so what would I be protesting them to change in their stance? If the UK government started supporting those regimes, like it does to Saudi Arabia and Israel, then it would be useful to protest to try and stop UK government support.
