A protest by 1m people doesn't induce any requirement on the house of commons...these petitions do.

They might not change anything, but at least sign the thing before committing to failure.

OUCH. Maybe i'm should be pro GCHQ, might stop you from stabbing a squaddie.

Using (or threatening with violence) when you feel like you have too little power to change things is a contradiction...if you have so little political power, why do you think your personal physical power will be so much more effective? Terrorists and anarchists are the reasons GCHQ exists.
