Good pics, yes, but the dramatic language, that Chief copper woman on twice, and then the earlier coverage of the mounted police charge described as "7 or 8" when it was easily 20.

I think I have a SKY/UKFOX filter in my head that stops me from hearing what they say.
Either that or I can't hear them over me shouting at the telly in finest keyboard/armchair warrior fashion.
fucking excellent innit!!

You can repeat this as often as you like, it won't make it true. It's not just about tuition fees - even these specific student demos are not just about fees. This is just the start. Better make sure your riot gear is in good working order.

40 per cent cut in funding for higher education. The complete privatisation of arts and social science degrees. That's the story. The birthright of the next generation is being stolen from them.
These things were hard-won. Once lost, they will be very hard to win back. I am very heartened by every car window that is smashed today, every building that is daubed. It's a shame for those who'll have to pick up the bill, but tough shit, frankly. This is more important.

It was stolen from them a long time ago, starting with Major's government and finished under Blair. All this lot have done is moved it along a bit.

Charles and Camilla? 
(they just said it on sky too)On BBC now too, stressing that it is only on AP for now though so can't yet corroborate with other sources.

Bollocks. Collective bargaining by riot. Loss of law and order, a challenge to their sole right to violence, is the one thing that any government is guaranteed to take notice of. Ymu's right – millions of us protested against the Iraq War. We were ignored.

It is in the process of being stolen from them, yes. As I said earlier, better late than never to stop it.

The Cathars were right
Am back - had no chance of getting into square. Lot of mooching around. Big opportunity missed with mob 3 thousand plus (difficult to tell from the front with others joining from the back) coming down from behind Admiralty Arch and into Whitehall - good chance to join up/force way through to Parliament Square, but not enough wanted to go for it. Not meeting up with anyone, I thought I'd get out after narrowly missing a couple of minor kettles.....
Thanks for the text updates from bods on here which helped.

Charles's car set alight! (Unconfirmed)

BBC said that it has been kicked a bit, then drove off.

Keep fighting for the complete abolition of fees. Just because you oppose the coalition, that doesn't mean you support Labour.
