Well spoken londoner on Sky News points out it turned violent when the kettling started and that the issues are more important, and that she and many others will NOT be put off by this.

But I've copied this from the Brighton Argus newsfeed/ live blog that shows the police are up for it;

"Still shaken by the police takedown on that kid. It was brutal. If parent had done half of that we'd have him in a place of safety #demo2010 [via Twitter]'="
 
police have told him the protest is now focusing on the police station (in John Street) and North Street is about to open to eastbound traffic.

CInspTaylor:
Small group of protesters outside John Street police station have been swiftly moved on" WTF does that mean? Swiftly moved on indeed - 'pushed violently' sounds more like it...
 
We had the rolling news on the TV at work today. Staff watching seemed supportive, plenty of grins watching the footage.

Interesting how the country's mood has soured to the point that 'normal people' now have an appetite for this stuff, and aren't afraid to show it even amongst colleagues. Good. Looking forward to the next one.
 
Sussex filth are well known for pushing people about.

Ta for the pics, wish i could have got down there with the camera.

Go Brighton!!!

Gotta laugh at plod with their cs cans at the ready - protecting fuckin' property down here is their forte!
 
Can people post up approximate turnouts from as many locations as possible. Sources of info would be helpful but not fundamental.

Looking to get a grand total figure for journalist.

enjoying all the little breakaway protests in London, blocking westminster bridge, currently in traf square.

re: brighton, from someone on my facebook - 'not sure of the point of storming poundland' :D
 
I'd say 3,000 in Manchester is accurate. I missed the beginning of the walkout/march in M'cr as I had an interview for some shitty job. Got there about half 3 and there was a standoff as students were trying to block Oxford Rd. Supposedly just before I got there the police violently cleared a sit down on the road and in came the horses. The police were well up for it and out in numbers. So for the next two hours protesters just tried to out manoeuvre the police by marching up and down Oxford Rd. There were a few half hearted attempts to stop the police break it up but you could tell not many were willing to get arrested or hurt. As time went by numbers were dwindling and the police were just randomly snatching protesters so I made my exit. There were about 200 protesters getting kettled on the pavement as I was leaving. Was pleased to see how young the crowd was, and how normal.

Issues like my extremely intelligent son not being able to fulfil his potential because we can't send him to university. The surgeon who might one day be employed to remove your head from your arse was a student once you know. The scientist who helped develop the medicine that might save your kid one day was a student once. But hey, uni's just one big holiday isn't it?

You should be thankful it's just a slight increase in fees,which I assume you will still get cheap loans for, and not the removal of all subsidies but even then we would still have doctors,scientists and even special therapists who could deal with your entitlement issues.

P.S,If your son's so smart then he can go and educate himself although he probably won't get much of a state handout that way so maybe you should ask yourself why universities should have such a hold over further education.
 
I don't know what the fuss is about really. You can buy a degree online for a few quid. Why would anyone waste their time and money going to university?

A slight increase in fees? Trebling them is a slight increase is it? I take it you failed gcse maths.

Educate himself to be a scientist? :D

I'd quite like my surgeons not to have taught themselves via Slicing for Dummies :facepalm:


Who are these fuckwits like XR75? Where do they come from?
