NUS national protest against the cuts 10.11.10 [London]


The most pathetic bit being that, in trying to build an argument that it was seasoned anarchists plotting a riot on the web, the best they can come up with is a third party comment "here's hoping the students really kick off this time" from a thread full of people bemoaning how weak student politics are these days and expecting no action from them. :facepalm:
 
To be fair thats one of the lamest riots I have ever seen, deaths = 0, police killed = 0, tanks = 0, gunshot wounds = 0, policeman with a dribbly nose = 1, smashed window = 1. This is marks and spencer type rioting, i want to see fucking pound stretcher type riots with poor kids and druggies burning cars and raiding banks and hurling petrol bombs and whores and mutants joining the students and another thing the riot should last at leat 5 days, not 20 mins before heading back to halls for hollyoaks, pot noodles and watered down beer.
 
(which is why the majority of them seem to stay in the job for so long)
As I have repeatedly posted previously, there have been lots of police officers who have simply been hanging on for their pensions for years. That is getting worse and worse. They are switching off earlier (the record I have met was with eight years service and already bemoaning the fact he had 22 to do before financial common sense allowed him to get out ... :() and there are more of them. They are a potential source of problems though most simply disappear at every opportunity and do as little as possible (which has it's own downside). There is definitely major concern amongst police officers (and even more amongst PCSOs and members of police staff (the confusing title for civilian members of staff ...)) for their jobs, terms and conditions and pension rights (for which they pay 11% of their salary).

early days, these kind of things are infectious, lets hope it spreads.

also don't knock pot noddles and hollyoaks they represent a universality between students and the unemployed that will be necessary to oppose the cuts.

The sad thing is that these "bad cops" actually have more of a fucking clue about how the system works than a naive fuckwit like yourself who imagines the cops are out there to make society better, the old timers are jaded and cynical and are just looking out for themselves, you on the otherhand are an ideological mouthpiece for the cops and the system they are paid to uphold.
 
Dr, I meant the public support for the welfare cuts..

I was referring to that too, as well as what happened yesterday.

Maybe it's because I work in a quango, drink in an "old man's pub" and shop at the market I am hearing the voice of the people who are or will be directly affected by the cuts. But there is a very strange atmosphere here (West Yorks) and even the people I work with (who actually have money) can see through the bullshit.

I have to agree.

In Northern Ireland the public sector cuts are going to be literally devastating, it is by far the biggest employer and a lot of people know they have a high chance of joining the dole queue.
 
perhaps there should be a journalist's FAQ, seeing as they all seem to end up here when they're trying desparately to put a story together using only google and twitter hashtags?

1: fuck off and research it properly, twatface.

do we need anything else in there?
 
Trespassing is a civil act, not a criminal one*.

One of which is absolutely relevant in this case - s.68 Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 (as amended by s.59 Anti-Social Behaviour Act 2003) : aggravated trespass where trespass on land is intended to intimidate people in lawful activity or to disrupt that lawful activity). This would certainly apply to the privately owned land around and under the building. Not sure without researching it if it would include being inside the buildings themselves (or if "inside" becomes part of "outside" if, as here, all the plate glass seperating it has been knocked out!). Regardless of that there are ample means of removing people rampaging through buildings doing / threatening damage, etc.

No one gives a fuck you Capo bastard, the laws are self serving bullshit for the ruling class, wake up.

thats my point, these people's voice is not being heard
 
Yeah cos there wasn't anarchist and socialist students in decisive roles in the march and the sacking of Tory HQ, furthermore if the kids can see through these cuts and attempt to make common cause with other sections being attacked by the tories then what are they doing but showing that socialism and anarchism are precisely organic products of proletarian struggle and not text book ideologies imposed by philosopher kings.

Now fuck off pk you ugly tedious cunt, I mean how fucking sad do you have to be to enter a discussion post the sacking of Tory HQ and use it as a cheap means of attacking anarchists and socialists, the very people who are most behind the actions of the students.

Go stick your head in the oven.

So there is a minority of Anarchists and Socialist behind this violence?

No there is a minority of explicit socialists and anarchists who most likely also took part in the "violence" (violence isn't property destruction you fuckwit).

Also being a student or education worker or infact anyone concerned about the effect of these cuts on the working class is not mutually exclusive from being an anarchist or a socialist.

Are you autistic or something?

I don't think that was his point though.

They are though.

Maybe not in the media, but in the workplace,the schools, shops and the pubs. The people are scared and angry and they can see through the bullshit. You live in South Yorks right? You should be able to see the same thing that I am in Leeds, Halifax and Huddersfield.
 
Remember, photos don't always tell the whole story.
Indeed they don't. Which is why there will be a detailed investigation, gathering together all sources of information and trying to trace people identified as having a specific role in a particular significant part of the overall incident - perhaps a particular assault, theft or incident of serious damage - and then tracking them through all the other footage until they are found in a nice full-face shot from which they can be identified. Which, in the case of the stylishly dressed is not going to be particularly difficult ...

Personally I don't think there should be a major reactive investigation here - yes there have definitely been some serious criminal offences which merit enquiries to trace principal offenders and put them before the courts (and perhaps some effort to idenitify agitators if any such did exist and stir things up from the initial burning of placards and pushing and shoving (which continued for good thirty or forty minutes at the time I posted on the day) ... but in the big scheme of things not many that are worth that degree of effort.

Sadly the comments by the Commissioner (especially his saying it was an "embarassment" for the Met) and the schizophrenic media coverage (now slagging the police off for not being robust enough having spent the G20 aftermath slagging them off for being too robust ...) suggest that this will not be the case and there will be a massive investigation. :(

You sound like a 16 year old kid. Detective-boy is the sort of person you want in your police, someone who is prepared to actualy has an understanding of the law and is prepared to explain it to people on a forum.

fuck off you ehtically challenged cunt, you have the heart and soul of a fucking legal text book, you are a disgusting human being.

at the risk of invoking Goodwin's laugh you are exactly the sort of cunt whose response to the Holocaust would be to make sure it it was done in a legal manner.

There's a class war being waged right now that everyone can see and you're spouting legalese bullshit, the language of the elites who are shamelessly using the financial crisis to attack the most vulnerable and poor in society.

Isn't it about time you develop a semblance of a fucking mind and made an actual decision about what is right and wrong rather than what is legal?

No I sound like someone who has a fucking clue how the real world works and how the government isn't some neutral if slightly flawed institution for all our benefit.

Have you ever been on the dole for any significant amount of time, ever had to do the double or any other small time fiddle in order to pay the electric and get groceries?

By the way you discuss shit on here I doubt you even know anyone who has.

'inside' does now come under aggravated trespass. Those on the roof wouldn't/shouldn't be charged with aggravated trespass. Apart from the guy who threw the fire extinguisher. He should be executed with death, obviously.
