NUS national protest against the cuts 10.11.10 [London]

[Gerry1time]

I'm not going to say (privacy, innit?) but it certainly wasn't firky, Why some people here are still obsessed with him is quite baffling, really.

Sorry, was joking. I hate the obsession with him, and was being ironic i guess. Like the guy who threw the fire extinguisher is now doubtless claiming to have been too.

Do us all a favour, start drinking again or something. Your sanctimonious weeping piety is really not what anyone needs right now.

or indeed at any time

Watching the news, one thing that has been missed so far is that two of the national reporters who are covering this event are close relations of lib dem peers.

 

[claphamboy]

These are not just any protestors.

They are M&S protesters?

 

[pengaleng]

[Treacle Toes]

BBC spokesman:

'A more aggressive brand of protester....'

"What brand of protestor are you?"
- Socialist Worker "would you like a copy of my paper?" protestor?
- Hardcore anarchy protestor?
- Fluffy first time protestor?
- Aged academic who should know better protestor?
- Community activist protestor?
- Outraged Daily Mail reader protestor?
- Supermarket's own brand protestor?
- Luxury designer label protestor with added bling?

Journo fail.

Wicked high top tho'

Oh yes it is....Funny, on my way about my business today I was quietly smiling to myself at the beautiful array of hairstyles...this one makes me smile too!

Was mighty cheering to see this in the pub at lunchtime, with slightly surprised looking Sky News presenters going 'We didn't expect this!'

Get used to it motherfuckers

 

[madzone]

I was watching footage of this with the young kids on my course (after our own very middle class protest with pots and pans ) and they were aghast at the violence. I felt very old.

 

[strung out]

should've told them to grow some

 

[strung out]

the only thing that was out of order was chucking a fire extinguisher off the roof, but apart from that, all gravy

 

[madzone]

should've told them to grow some

I attempted to educate them by going 'whoop whoop yeah bring it the fuck on!!'

I didn't really.

I did attempt to educate them though.

 

[Part 2]

Is there another demo next Wednesday? I was buying gig tickets in Mcr Uni the other day and load of students were queuing for coach tickets but I thought it said 17th.

Anyway, there was a poster on the wall "What to expect on a march", for noob protestors. It did recommend people took some food and water and a waterproof coat, a bit like the letters sent home from school for a school trips. I did think while I was queuing that it should recommend taking a bally or scarf.

yeah, that was off key.

Which was replaced by the lesser of two evils - council tax.

I'm not knocking the protests today - but what has the violence achieved?

One hell of a lot more media coverage than there would have been otherwise, for starters.

Yeah, played right into their hands, didn't they? Once again the reasons for the protest will be ignored in favour of salacious coverage of the violence.

Well done, dickheads.

I would disagree, I am watching BBC News 24 and whilst they are reporting on the violence, they are also interviewing those against that violence and they are putting their points across well.

I've got those trainers.

 

[Treacle Toes]

Oh, he looks genuine...

 

[Idris2002]

This is a great shot:

'Outstanding, Red Team, outstanding! Get you a case of beer for that one.'

 

[teuchter]

i'm outside millbank tower just now, stopped by on my way home. There's a small(ish) number of protestors surrounded by quite a lot of police. I can't work out if they are being stopped from leaving or not.

 

[articul8]

The asian Morrisey-esque fop on the right makes it for me - how student is that?!

 

[teuchter]

oh, they are searching them and then letting them go.

 

[Gerry1time]

yeh, next time aim better.

We still don't know what the injuries were that might have been caused by that. Or the class history of the person or persons who may have been injured as a result. What if it hit fellow workers engaged in class struggle?

My point is, doing shit like that is as fucking stupid as anyone else who has thrown an untargeted bomb into a crowd, no matter what your beliefs are.
