Like you're doing you mean!?
Thats rather childish. Is that the best you can do? Go to bed and let the adults debate.

Because it was bitterly cold? I had my scarf up today as well. It was freezing out.
This. Many students had their scarfs up even at college! Cold cold day today.

of course.
Hey, I could post several pictures of the peaceful smiling students marching!
But then i wouldn't be telling the whole story. Kinda like your trying to do.
You can't see but the picture of me standing infront of those riot police - I had my scarf up. I was freezing. I took it down when i started to eat and drink though (I had a chocolate bar and some pepsi! Yum).
I had my scarf up at college, on the way in at 8ish, on the way to the march. It was COLD.
If your going to post pictures like that please make sure you post the other side that reflects the majority instead of just try to make us all look bad. Its all about proportions.

Nothing like it, I asked "Why did some of the 'students' in the marches have their faces concealed behind scarves? " The photos I posted showed plenty of people with their faces on view, some of them smiling, so why did the others hide their faces? You suggested the only reaosn people did that was becasue it was cold, when that is not the case. So again, if it was a peaceful protest, why did some of them conceal their faces? Do you know?
Well good on the students for keeping to their principals and indulging in peaceful protest, it's a shame the others are trying to hijack your cause for their apparently politically motivated reasons; it doesn't help your cause in the eyes of some. It's a shame the government has done this in such as way as to have caused all this, try not to confuse the current situation with party politics though, it was inevitable, and was always going to happen. I think the current coalition government has been very heavy handed in how they have introduced this and other austerity measures, but perhaps that is what this country needed, either way, keep up the peaceful stuff, perhaps there is a compromise in there somewhere.
NO IFS. NO BUTS. NO EDUCATION CUTS!
If everyone out of the 600 who went yesterday was like that, why were there only 5 arrests? Yawn all you want, your only yawning because the same shit gets said about us prompting the same response.
- what? -
I don't think that tuition fees represent a cut do they, rather a different way of funding Universities?
I'm against tuition fees btw, but then I'm also against thickos demanding the right to go to University just as a way of avoiding work for a few years too.
Well the BBC (not the Mail) reported yesterday that 100 out of the alleged 600 marchers decided to enter a multi story car park and hurl missiles and the BBC also reported that another group decided to not follow the agreed course of the march. Whilst I'm sure that you were on your best behaviour 16%+ is a fairly large percentage of criminals. Not really making a good impression are it ? Now I know that many people claim that the Police were heavy handed but at the same time how much provocation did they have ? Agreed two wrongs don't make a right but who started the ball rolling ?
Its a chant.
We're against the rises but also against the funding cuts that mean subjects like Arts and Humanities can't run - discriminating based on peoples talents.
But it's a chant that gives the impression that students don't really know what they are talking about. I'm not sure it helps the cause greatly.
In my view it's not at all about discriminating based on people's talents, but based on people's needs. Not all career paths utilise skills that are acquired exclusively at university; in that case why are we spending public money to send them off to get a superfluous qualification?
