Which do you want it to mean? I leave that decision to you.

Governments in general or this government in particular?

An important distinction as the reason identified in this post is only a reason to find the current government objectionable .

Animal Rights activists are also an odd inclusion- I’m pretty sure an anti-animal testing march won’t be marched by the same moonbats who dig up dead grannies for shits and giggles.

This is a very good point.

For the past few years the police have effectively used animal rights activists as ‘guinea pigs’ (no pun intended – honest) to test all sorts of aggressive policing tactics designed to break up protest movements.
