They probably were...and they show up at “G” meetings in North America as well.
I don’t know if it’s like the ‘60’s but I’ve had old “protesters” of both sexes say they didn’t give a rat’s patootie about any war, they were just looking for a “cheap date.”
I don’t think it’s quite that innocent anymore but not all of those critters we see are true believers either.
Organized labor participation can be dicey, if the real gorillas in their membership sign on to the hellraising.
