You’d need an events manager – just like if you were planning to get married’</p> <p>If successful, Mr James hopes to branch out into causes, before looking at a stock market flotation in 2015. ‘Fox hunting, anti-nuclear, anti-murdoch – you hate it, we’ll help you hate it’ he continued. ‘Obviously we can’t promise your protest will succeed, but we can guarantee you unlimited skinny macchiatos during the attempt.’</p> <p>ProtestEx offers to handle all aspects of creating a protest, from catering to communication to accommodation. ‘We can sell you colour-co-ordinated tents that spell out your aims when viewed from a BBC helicopter – I’ve got a source in Shanghai’ said Mr James. ‘ And if you’re worried about security, we’ve negotiated favourable rates with G4. Can you imagine if gypos showed up on your campsite, with their dogs, unruly children and big fat brides? Nightmare! The last thing you want when demonstrating to save the world is a bunch of selfish people only worried about their own needs. We’ll stop them for you – for a fee’. </p>
