London Student protests - Wed 8th Dec+ Thurs 9th

[ymu]

According to twitter they've moved on to regents and oxford st and topshop.

B..b...b...but this is solely about tuition fees. Why on earth would any of them go and target a tax-avoiding outlet?

The car got a kicking apparently whilst on their way to The Paladium

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

Who was "fighting" for that before this kicked off? Who is "fighting" for it now?

What, do you think these protests came out of nowhere?

The reaction to these protests has shown up one of my now-ex-friends as a reactionary idiot. That's helpful in a way, I guess.

I know what, let's abolish the police. Let the mob do what it likes.

Wut? It was in the Lib Dem manifesto. Remember the pledge? Jebus.

You forget that tuition fees were introduced by a Labour government, in isolation from other similar measures, whilst we were all still reeling from 18 years of Tory rule. It is precisely the betrayal by Labour followed by the betrayal by the Coalition, not to mention the betrayal by the Left in the form of the StWC, that has lit the touch paper and ended decades of political apathy. We ain't putting up with it any more. The last straw has been added to the camel's back. Hang on tight, 'cos it's gonna be a helluva ride.

Didn't have Police for most of history.

No, I think the reaction to this is markedly different to what it would have been if Labour had introduced it, and for the life of me I cannot remember a demo demanding the old grant system be introduced for at least the last five years (which is a shame, because that was the best system for helping upward social mobility).

If the police want to support democracy, they should be giving the protesters the keys to the Palace of Westminster and an axe each with which to smash the building up. There ain't no democracy left in that place.

No need to abolish an authoritarian organisation when you out number the cunts.

It's coming, you best get under the table

 

[gentlegreen]

piss off gg.

Are you really 33 years old ?



I thought this board came about as a reaction to thuggery ?

 

[ymu]

Bet the Corrie producers are cursing their luck. All that work to lose the ratings to the news channels.

Nonsense. Its a Tory government (alright, ConDem ) so people feel empowered to kick off against the traditional enemy.

Can't we all agree that you're right, but that's gone. This hasn't.

That only opened last year

No they won't. Most of the population have better things to do than watch a bunch of idiots demonstrate their complete lack of intelligence.

There is some truth to that, which makes what Labour did so much the worse. The tories are just being tories. When Labour started being tories too, that was a betrayal.

I'd say people are angrier because they're not just being fucked over, they're being fucked over by politicians that they voted for on the specific pledge not to raise tuition fees. So yeah, the party involved does make a difference and for a bloody good reason.

The BBC is giving some pathetic coverage.

The characters on corrie don't seem that dumb to me.

You've just summed up Corrie's audience, I'm afraid.

Edit: Damn you, Sam!

Smashed up all the expensive bits as well, apparently. Still, its made the glazing community's christmas.

 

[editor]

Just got back. It was fucking lively alright. Photos soon.

Well done ed. Wish I'd been in london today.

Who's that reporter, who now's taken his helmet off? What a cock.
