It really isn't the government of the UK cares all that much about these protestors, it actually is about the oil barons of the Middle East being unhappy about their cash cow, airlines, being affected. Since they will likely control the UK withing the next 10 - 15 years, the barons are going to put a stop to this right now. The "protestors" are lucky. When Islam controls the UK, the protestors may have their hands cut off instead of going to jail.
