As a seasoned protester, Trevor Phillips explores what鈥檚 wrong with protest today.

After getting his first taste for protest as a schoolboy in Guyana (which led to detention in an army barracks and an audience with a government minister) Trevor remembers his days of student activism in the 1970s - which he describes as 'the start of a long and undistinguished career of being a pain in the backside of authority'.

Reflecting on the campaigns of groups like Just Stop Oil, he argues that many of today鈥檚 protesters simply choose the wrong target.

He concludes that there is still a point to protest, even though success might not be immediate - because victory may come later, and in a way that's often unpredictable.
