NUS national protest against the cuts 10.11.10 [London]

Trade unions plan student coalition to fight public spending cuts

Big turnout at student anti-fees protest emboldens TUC leadership to plan wider campaign against government cuts'

Some big news, surely the TUC now realise there are hundreds of thousands just waiting to have their voice heard and yes peacefully

 

[SpineyNorman]

I would prefer a system where those that earn the most pay the most.

Good idea. Let's have a 90% tax rate for earnings over £100,000. That ought to cover it.

Fire extinguisher man arrested.

The Human torch commented " Thank Christ for that "

Edited for you.

if only he'd set fire to some curtains instead.

 

[Onket]

They've nicked the knobhead who threw the extinguisher at the cops...

The amount of time you spend mouthing off threatening violence and reminding everyone how acab you are, I'd have expected you to fully support his actions.

Maybe you're getting old.

Politicians get expenses, proles do the double, what one faces the wrath of your universal framework?

Like our democracy, our system of justice is (very) imperfect. But ALL are amenable to the law (as the recent decision of the Supreme Court in relation to the wriggling MP expenses claimants demonstrates only too well).

 

[DrRingDing]

Like our democracy.

We do not live in a 'Majority Rule' country. This is a Polyarchy.

Edited for you.

Indeed. Especially as I have not seen any picture of footage of the actual throwing of it - all the pictures I saw today were of him holding it ... As I have said repeatedly, pictures never tell the whole story ... in any case.

As it is impracticable to have an upper limit on earnings (though "takings" would probably be more accurate that "earnings") that sort of taxation is the best answer.

All the pics in the media seem to be of this bloke but he's holding a CO2 extinguisher with a black band. The one that was dropped was a larger foam or water one with a cream coloured band as you can see here.

I imagine there are hundreds of other photos the police have to ID a suspect but the media seem to have it wrong.

 

[detective-boy]

... but the media seem to have it wrong.

I find that extremely difficult to believe ...

Edited for you.

Yeah, it could have been a paper mache extinguisher...

Excellent. Should save the poor bugger a lot of grief.

Violence against the police/crack dealers/fascists is only acceptable when it takes place in his fevered imagination.

the person who threw the fire extinguisher was wearing different coloured clothing too - going by the brief sight of the person from the C4 footage.

What are you oinking about now? Oink oink!!

ACAB my arse. If you knew anything you'd know that my contributions here accept the fact that there will always be a need for a police system of some kind. No matter how things turn out, even if the sacred revolution happens, the holy Marxist grain is realised. ACAB is for football hooligans and people who use violence to protect their own and don't require state and law intervening.

I know you love to oink like the oink-it you are, but at least try to do some basic research before you laughably attack the 'ard man approach.

Not that anyone gives a fuck. Guess I'm the mug for even bothering to respond.

Oh and well done for phoning the cops, if it was you, and informing them about the hedgeparty. I guess you might be alarmed to find out about the phone calls I was made aware of. If that was you, pity, because it worked out well for me in the end, and I got an even better rig as a result, so if you or anyone else wants to fuck about in future, bring it on OinkIt, I'll let them take the system for the woods, can't be arsed to store it any longer anyway. Nice try cunt.

Oh dear, it's the epitome of the token gesture from you too is it?

Laugh Out Loud! Nothing to do on a Friday night? Shame...

are you accusing onket of grassing you up to the filth?

So you'll be sticking up for the bloke seen trying to drop it on your pals then?

Great stuff. Change come soon.

He'd have a good career in golf, it was a measured swing and drom from the helicopter video.

Doubt anyone would be laughing if the Thames winds blew that shit so it landed on some girls head. Lets see, the chants of "stop throwing stuff" were just Daily Mail bullshit too, right???

You were not even there. You really are a c-c-c-cunt.

Ban away. Pin it on "revealing passwords" or similar bollocks if it makes you feel better. Grow a pair of bollocks though Mike, time was this place meant something...

 

[pk]

Someone made a phone call, and fuck knows who would bother, I'm just looking at the Hedgeparty thread and looking at who might be sad enough to have fucked it. I'm not accusing anyone, but if the shit fits... I only read the thread, and someone made a call because I had to explain myself in an empty van...

 

[pk]

If it wasn't OinkIt then it was some fucking lurker I guess, either way, it was a report I heard about on the 21st of October.

Luckily it didn't fuck up any plans.

Look, if anyone's got the arse with me, that's fine, but don't fuck it for good people who are trying to do good stuff for free. Maybe I'm just paranoid but I will be happy to meet with people prepared to fuck with my shit.

I'm just doing it for the fun of it

 

[Voley]

Funny you should say that. Now things have quietened down a bit I'm warming to U75 again. Interesting threads don't drift off the front page so quickly, you get time to follow a thread properly. Seen some genuinely good discussions lately (this thread possibly not the best example, admittedly). Reminds me of the early days.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Course it wasn't Onket.

Could have been anyone, but almost certainly was a lurker. Use your brain, pk.

No way was it onket. You should withdraw you're pathetic accusation.

God DB really can't win can he. If he had come on here all hang em and flog em he would have been flamed left right and centre but everything he has posted on here has been pretty reasonable imo. He points out that the media witch hunt is over the top and still he gets flamed. He suggests there is no evidence that the poor sod fingered in the papers threw the fire extinguisher and then he gets attacked for that. Fucked if he does fucked if he doesn't.

the media hunt isn't over the top. The guy chucking the extinguisher is looking at a jail sentence (I hope) and quite a few others with criminal damage. Whatever the situation you don't have the right to break windows or throw objects at people. I hope they all get what's coming to them and I reckon in a few years time when they look back and see that their university education has been rather cut short they may regret what they did.
