Show solidarity by contacting your Member of Parliament, and your Member's of the European Parliament, and ask them to voice support for the protesters. If you live in Wales, Northern Ireland. London or Scotland, contact your representatives in Welsh Assembly, Northern Ireland Assembly, London Assembly and Scottish Parliament.
The United Kingdom's democratic system, flawed as it might be, has been shaped by protest, whether it be the Levellers, the Chartists, the suffrogettes, trade unionists, anti-war protesters, or any other movement that opposes unjust systems and laws.
Egypt like Tunisia are now experiencing a turning point in their history where the people are now willing to resist oppression and corruption.
