The BBC website are saying that the protestor marched through Whitehall at 12 o'clock well I was there and I ddidn't see anything like that happening. Or did it?

As funny as that is :D , it's hardly going to help to get public support, the Royal Family remain very popular amongst the wider public.

Attacking government buildings is one thing; this is not so good.

Overall I can see all this leading to a massive clamp-down on future demos, and a much more heavy handed response from the old bill.

Student protesters stop Belfast traffic
Hundreds of students have blocked a road in Belfast city center to protest against the UK government plans to increase university tuition fees.

Police diverted traffic away from Donegal Square North where protesters including secondary school pupils and university students were gathering to raise their voice against government policies, the daily Belfast Telegraph reported.

The student protesters gathered outside City Hall to urge Northern Ireland's politicians to honor their commitment to ensure that higher education is accessible for all.

In Northern Ireland, universities currently charge up to a maximum of £3,290.

Protest organizer, De La Salle College pupil Conal McLaughlin, said students were angry with the government plans.

“An increase in fees would place higher education out of reach for many students and many are angry at the prospect they could be saddled with huge debts by the time they graduate”, the organizer said.

“This is going to affect everyone who is currently in sixth year now - everyone my age,” he added.

Besides a rise in tuition fees, students are also protesting over plans to cut universities' budgets. The coalition is planning to slash up to 80 percent from teaching budgets.

a placard from the protest, it was led by secondary school kids and it was still them there into the evening, they were totally self organised and clued in, fair fucks to them.

There was also a placard that said "Malcolm Tucker couldn't spin this!".

Also agricola, fuck off you sad old cunt, have you ever considered that people have learnt the lessons of the Iraq protest, coupled with the fact that the issue isn't just tuition fees but a whole host of cuts including to the EMA. You seem to want to sit and smugly gripe "where were these protests back in so and so", yeah it would have been better then, but then again back then some old cunt like yourself would have been saying "why is it only now".

Maybe you should take something from the fact there is now something of a fightback that should and needs to be supported, rather than smugly patting yourself on the back because you "cared about these issues" before they became popular, it just makes you sound like a fuckwit music snob who hates a band cos their fanbase expanded beyond you and your self important mates.
 
Well somone's head will roll for example leaving the DIY store in the middle of P' Square, the person who decided that the Prince of all day should go to the threatre today. Hmmm
 
The BBC coverage is fucking laugable - who was the nob in the helmet? picking up bits of concrete and saying 'this could be a potentially lethal weapon!'

rock on students! Lets hope this is just the start.

they aren't, fixating on some vague 'public opinion' is retarded a sure fire way of making yourself lose, it's about ability to impose yourself and your demands, not about what some twat thinks or says whilst reading his paper on a tea break.
 
Im on my way back. Spent most of the last three hours marching and chanting random stuff. Best chant was your jobs next, to the police. Looked like some lads were gonna try to pull down the tree in trafalgur sq at one point but it didnt happen.
