Default How does one protest about government?

I'm afraid I can no longer put up with this government, reasons are manifold but for instance
1 The new gambling laws
2 Erosion of freedom under the guise of anti terrorism law
3 The woeful mismanagement of the NHS
4 The erosion of services for the elderly
5 The self protection of MPs ie 60% pay rise, protection of their pensions phenomenal expenses
6 The shambles of a prison service
7 A police force that is not fit for purpose
8 Legislation that promotes PC
9 A government that shows more interest in efficiency (cuts) than the people it is supposed to serve
10 The war, started due to lies
There are many other things that could be mentioned but you all know them and it would get boring.
What I would like to know is how can I protest about this government in order to be heard, Mr Blair appears to ignore the British courts, the European Courts and even Parliament (how many times has he been accused of mis leading the house and got away with it) It would appear that peaceful protest is no longer an option as you can be arrested somehow
What do I do to make my little voice heard in a peaceful way.

Default This is what you can do.

write to your mp, right to 10 downing street, protest outside the commons, get your ti-ts out for the lads if your female Vote for D.Cameron at the next election by which time we may be married at this rate.

By the way, I hate this lot as much as you do, a joke and a shambles, ain't done nout for me in the last 10 years!

Default None of the above would work

UKIP = a wasted vote
Write to wherever= ignored
Protest outside Commons = arrested under new legislation
Getting ones dangly bits out=possible interesting experience!
I need something that will get the attention of politicians ie a campaign that many people could join, I have thought of a campaign to vote "none of the above" (I know it's been done in a film) but it would need organisation and thousands of people.

Default start a web site

you could start/join a pressure group and startup a UK web site and try and attract others of a similar mind.

Or join a Anarchist group (I am serious) as they have similar complaints about the state as you do!

Default I suppose I do have problem with this system

It is starting to bother me that we have always been ruled by basically inept people who appear to have no qualms about helping themselves at the trough. Take the lot we have in power at the minute, they have cocked up health, social, prison services, the home office is a shambles, foreign policy is frankly quite frightening. In the old days someone who cocked up resigned, now they just lie about it.
I don't suppose anyone saw the MP rap sheet, the one figure I remember is 84 MPs who are currently facing drink driving charges, MPs having suits against them, filing for insolvency (not bankrupcy) etc etc. If it was a large firm parliament would be in trouble. At the same time they vote themselves hugh pay rises (60%!) have arranged splendid pensions and expense accounts while telling the rest of us under two percent pay rises and cuts in pensions.
The word corrupt comes to mind but that may be too strong. I truely believe it is time to start again and clean the place up.
What really upsets me is that I love the freedoms and privelages of living in Britain and I feel I am watching my country and what it used to stand for being destroyed from the inside by inept people who are solely in it for themselves.
What are the electorate doing about all this, they can only vote for who is standing and, in my opinion, one party is as bad as the other.
I am not a Jeremiah as I have been called before, I am sitting here with a feeling of helplessness and frustration, and what am I doing about it, the same as everyone else..... nothing!

Ah, so it's good i'm not so mad afterall! I suppose you could meet up with other people who feel the same, or do what your doing on here, hell, just giving your opinions can be contageous sometimes. What part of Britain are you from if you don't mind Petshrew?
