- Vandalise a war memorial
- Vandalise a statue of Winston Churchill
- Attack a member of the Royal Family (and/or their transport)
- Cause serious injury to a police officer(s)
- Throw objects at a police horse(s)
- Set fire to Trafalgar Sq. Christmas tree
- Smash up a clothes store the majority probably shop at
- Get the result it's all about...
What lovely people.

Er... The vast majority of people that have posted on this thread do not 'orgasm' over football violence. What a bizarre thing to write.

Strange isn't it - how Atilla and KneeOn kept telling us that peaceful protesting doesn't work ? Well violent protest has achieved f*** all as well !!!!!!!

Oi
I'm not scandalised by a few people shouting, I just think this whole "protest" is blatantly an excuse for a few people to act out their violent fantasies while they're safely hidden amongst a large group.And it winds me up that 50 football fans chucking seats and a flare or two earn (rightfully) the wrath of every newspaper in the country, whereas a group comprising hundreds or thousand of students/rent-a-protesters attempting to burn or wreck everything in sight, right in the centre of London, will- as usual- find plenty of outlets willing to defend them.

I think politically motivated violence tends to reported a bit more reflectively reported generally though.
There is something a bit different about these protests though - as observed by an ex-policeman on the radio. There is obviously a hard core element -but many others appear to be whipped up into it.

Potentially dangerous, since because of the cuts the Government bought it from Argos.

So what sort of protest is this? Let's get real, most of these little shits couldn't care less about tuition fees. To be honest if you can act like this at the Cenotaph then you should be responsible funding your education, as public spending on it so far has obviously been a complete waste of money, and hasn't helped this mentally retarded little f*** wit (unless ma and pa funded her private schooling). She should be made to parade along on remembrance Sunday, and take a kick up the arse from any one affected by this!!

In London village.
Not saying most people, BoF, but there are more than a few that are enjoying a bit of worked up outrage over the behaviour of what are probably a mixture of the pissed off, the stupid, the naive and the odd agent provocateur (sp) who are happy to parade the usual "itk" bollocks when it suits them.

I have to say, there was one particular group interviewed by the BBC (needless to say, all wearing hoods and bandanas over their faces) who claimed to be from the "slums" of London and that they would be forced into drug dealing if they couldn't go to university. I had the distinct suspicion- albeit merely going on appearances, I know, naughty- that university was never, ever on the agenda of these particular individuals, so much as the opportunity to run amok in London for the day and have a go at the police.

The annoying thing is, "Royal Car Attacked" is going to be the headline on almost every paper tomorrow (it's already on the Sun and Daily Mail homepages), as if somehow that's the most shocking thing that happened all day.

Ah OK, sorry. Misinterpreted. Apollo cheese.

Indeed. There was someone being interviewed on the phone, via BBC 24, and they were intimating that the serious neck injuries of a policeman has been trumped by attacking the car of the heir to the throne.

A few of things:
1) The vast majority didn't act like the morons who'll be all over the backpages, so maybe you could all set your student agendas aside and not stereotype the masses based on the actions of a few
2) The protests have clearly played a part in reducing the majority of the coalition (although clearly they haven't quite achieved the result wanted). There'll be plenty more now though, which will hopefully be covered in a less biased way, although I'm not going to hold my breath
3) All those telling students to go and get a job etc. Do you really think a less educated society is a better one?
4) There are many ways to reduce the deficit created by those in power. Why should they not bear the brunt of their own mistakes?
