OK, let’s start cracking the nuts of insurgents shall we?
I would say, set aside a large area in the Gall Face Green directly opposite to the building (old parliament) the hooligans are occupying for anybody who wants to protest, similar, but very much bigger to the Speakers’ Corner in Hyde Park, UK. Then ban any demonstrations, marches near the government buildings on the same side of the building but the opposite side. If anybody fails to do that, block or try to occupy a state building preventing the routine work, crack nuts, bones, heads and all else.
