Protest the Politicians demonstrations set to erupt

Claiming the politicians' views are "out of touch" and that Westminster was "sheltering criminals", the protesters also object to the vast amount of money that will be spent on policing the conferences in Liverpool, Manchester and Birmingham.
Mediaeval
Douglas Turfoot, spokesman for Protest the Politicians, which is coordinating the demonstrations, said: "Politicians harbour mediaeval ideas that are not wanted in a modern, secular democracy. Why, one of their most recent senior figures is a war criminal, destroyed the economy and promoted segregated education between the rich and poor. Yet he's being feted as a hero and his words treated as the gospel truth."
Although politicians have paid visits to coastal towns in the past, the current visit is under fire due to the huge cost of policing, housing and publicising the visits, drawing the ire of the public.

"I'm not a Tory, why should I fund their police protection?" said unemployed picture hanger Deborah Blankenship. "If the Conservative Party wants to pay for the visit that's fine with me, but why should the taxpayer do so?"
However, party members stress that as these visits are vital to the state it is only right that citizens should fund the cost of the visits.
Dr Evil
"Imagine no politicians, I wonder if you can, no need for greed or hunger. That'd be hideous," rasped student activist Ewan Rumpoltz. "Politics is a venerable tradition and demands respect, and I urge you all to convert to my cause, for Labour is the Third Way, the spun truth and the life".
However, critics are unrepentant, with Mr Turfoot stating that "politics has a long history of covering up abuse, whether it's sexual misconduct or state-sponsored coups, and the sooner humanity rids itself of such ancient beliefs the better".
