NUS national protest against the cuts 10.11.10 [London]

[SpineyNorman]

No it's not about me in the slightest - I leave that to a few obsessives here - but I wish you'd back up your accusations; I have said I support the protesters last night, I just don't hold with any violence, however little. The few violent protesters were not representative of the majority of those on the demo. I fail to see how this "demonises" them

Strange that you would say that, because every protestor I spoke to yesterday held a similar opinion to most on here: that they fully supported the occupation, though did think the person who threw the extinguisher was a pillock. It's what I though too.

 

[fogbat]

I'm not saying I'm Jesus. That's for other people to say...

 

[Streathamite]

'Why the Socialist Workers Party is bad for Britain.'

Quack, quack.

that has to be one of the most harebrained pieces of writing I've seen for years

Where did I say I opposed the occupation??????

to hear someone from Ireland comparing a few windows getting done in and a few placards thrown at police to real political violence is fucking hilarious, what are you some sort of west brit D4 cunt?

That's the nature of coalition politics, sometimes things you promised and want as part of your manifesto don't get enacted. It's better to work and try and make the proposals more progressive which is what the party has done. I'm proud of the work Lib Dem MPs have done in improving on the Browne review recomendations, even if I am dissapointed we didn't get elected and couldn't deliver our complete manifesto.

Oh, you're so realpolitik...or is that neupolitik?

 

[Fruitloop]

Kretinpolitik

 

[nino_savatte]

Better.

What exactly are you opposing then? You're not exactly making yourself clear. Nobody has said that they approved of the fire extinguisher, so what exactly are you disagreeing with?

i rarely agree with revol, but it's nail on head time.

So if your son wants a new toy will you be expecting others to pay for it ?

i for one want not a penny of the taxes i pay to go to paying for the healthcare for you and your family, now and hereafter.

I was hoping that might be a decent member of the panel on tonight's Question Time - but there's not. They are all complete and utter fuckwits

Showed the footage to my 19 year old daughter today and her first comment was "Idiots! Why aren't they wearing masks?"

The Telegraph has set up a shop a rioter bit on their website

What do you win?

That could be easily disrupted by some cheeky scampsters with access to a large-scale communications network.

 

[grogwilton]

I slightly cheekily showed this to some kids at work today and the response was very positive towards the rioters.
