That bloke on the left is going to be bald as a coot by the time he's 25.

[Streathamite]

oh fuck, do I ever feel stupid right now

What do you mean "literally"?

Once again the reasons for the protest will be ignored in favour of salacious coverage of the violence.

Actually, no:

One of the protesters who got on to the roof was Manchester student Emily Parks.

She said she had no regrets.

"It shows how angry people are," she told BBC News.

"Why is our education being cut? Why are tuition fees going up here when in other parts people have free education?

"People have felt the need to take matters into their own hands."

Maybe add a poll option to the "How do you think the protests against the cuts will go?" thread -- something along the lines of, "None of us have got a clue, tbh"

why so?

 

[Divisive Cotton]

I reckon this could be the most popular "demonstration turned violent" event since the poll tax riots. Most people are going to be, "Well what do you expect"

They look like they're there to tear the roof off the mothersucker.

 

[treelover]

they will be expelled, the images show them committing criminal acts, i was NUS once, their Uni's will want to make an example of them.

 

[DrRingDing]

So, when's the grown ups turn to have a bit of disorder?

 

[treelover]

btw, indymedia has been superceded, there is hardly anything on it yet.

i look forward to further violent protests at the universities themselves when this happens then.

i dunno. i'd be treading carefully over expelling anyone over this if i were running a uni. it's not as if we don't know what they're capable of...

They look like they're in the middle of a song and dance number. Riot Kids from Fame.

To be fair indymedia tend not to have much on the day unless it is a big mobilisation that they have planned for G8 etc. Otherwise they have to wait for people to post stuff after the event.

 

[Dan U]

i wonder how many people there actually know what indymedia is

the rest of the internet is full of this stuff, twitter, flickr etc etc

Youth of today, mutter, grumble etc.

Yep, smashing up Tory HQ is something of a PR Coup.
