Think tank

I'd love to contribute to this worthy cause, but don't have any spare cash unfortunately. (:

Maybe they could get a crisis loan from the council?

Well, this certainly isn't a waste of money!

I'd give some money but I'm not sure about aggressive protest. What would Ghandi say? I thought this was going to be about think tanks. Mmmmm. I think I'm going to study "Power, Dissent and Equality; Understanding Contemporary Politics" next year and get a job with a think tank churning out media-friendly papers.

The space hijackers are more in the 'prankster line' of protest, rather than the 'black hoody line', so I'm fairly sure that if they get a tank they'll paint it pink and make bubbles come out of the cannon... or something.

That said, a pink tank blowing bubbles can do a fair amount of damage.

This is a good idea, but is it a sensible use of money?

They're only going to use the tank for one day as far as I can tell. What are they going to do with it afterwards? Can you rent tanks?

Where are they going to buy a tank? I'm amused by the idea of them walking into the arms fair and buying a tank before using it to protest.

there are loads of places to buy army surplus vehicles

like here for example

i'm not sure if i'd call it a sound investment but it sure would be fun

sweet.... but i reckon the mk1 saracen is more of an Armoured Personnel Carrier than a tank in the classic sense

Well, it's a start...
