NUS national protest against the cuts 10.11.10 [London]

I used to know a copper in the 80s who loved policing the football hooligans!!

I bet you did. I watched footage of the Poll Tax Riots the other day and the police didn't give a flying fuck if anyone got hurt. Driving transit vans at 30 - 40mph straight into a crowd of people, trampling them with horses, raining baton blows on anyone who got 'in their way'......
 
@jer, Babylondon

that's how you make the point to those who shrug you aside. there is no need to talk about the vote. you are better than this.

I suspect if these teeny boppers do this again the same may happen
 
Students haven't got a vote now?

Given that the majority of students are under 18 no. But even those over 18 might as well not have. The Lib Dems sold themselves to students by saying they would oppose any rise in fees, and claimed they would campaign to have fees scrapped altogether. But it turns out they never had any intention of doing any of this. So, whilst they do have a vote it has been ignored completely and they therefore have no representation, which amounts to the same thing.
 
protest and it's 'typical students etc' from the right. Given the fairly de politicised UK student population it is out-of-date cliche. Fair play on them for this action, just thank your stars they aren't french gunner, else they'd be round your house pissing on your biscuits.
 
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.

fuck off you muppet, you care more about broken windows of corporations than you do about the lives ruined by these cuts.

you are a sad little man.

seems it's true what they say about the Emirates being full of posh city boys.

as for the office workers being intimidated, what nonsense, they most likely couldn't care less, probably hate their bosses and had a laugh about it down the pub since they got off early.

ha ha I prefer the french at the emirates - the rest can stay the other side of la manche

oh you've unstuck your keyboard
 
Excellent. Should save the poor bugger a lot of grief.
Does anyone know for sure that the guy in the first picture is the one who has been arrested? (the police don't usually release the names or details (beyond age, gender and area they are from) of people arrested and they don't even confirm them if it is well known - further details are only released on charge or summons)
 
Students haven't got a vote now?

you seem to have missed the bit where hundreds of thousands of students voted and voted for a party who were knowingly lying to them about plans to hit them in the pocket for tens of thousands of pounds as soon as they reached government.

the anti-democrats here are not the students. the students voted in their droves. many couldn't even reach the voting booth in nick clegg's own constituency on election night such were the queues.

it is the lib dems have subverted the democratic process here and so long as they are forcing through these measures they deserve anything and everything coming to them.

Is it a surprise that voters were lied to?

I have nothing against protesting- but protests need to stay within the law.

I hope anyone who has broken it gets clobbered - Im sure they will next week.
 
So you'll be sticking up for the bloke seen trying to drop it on your pals then?
I will be properly assessing the evidence as I always do.

As opposed to following your "Guide to Investigation":

1. Decide whether you like the suspect or not.
2a. If you do, ignore even the most compelling evidence and refuse to accept that they could even be the teeniest, weeniest bit guilty of anything, ever.
2b. If you do not, gather, exaggerate and misrepresent anything you can possibly find to "prove" they are guilty of the most heinous crimes possible. Ignore, or undermine as lies, any evidence, witness or account which suggests otherwise. Ignore any rule of law which suggests they may have had any lawful justification for anything they have done.
3. Er ...
4. .... well that's it really!
 
'
I had very early morning news on the tv, and when the story of students having to pay massive fees was first leaked, they had this Tory spokesperson on, I wish I had taken more notice of his name.As the interview unfolded, he became more and more pompous, and the interviewer asked him, that if these plans were to go ahead, what would happen to all the gifted clever children from working class families who wanted to go to university, and do you know what the awful git said ?....

'Well, they will fill all the manual jobs in industry, while those who can pay for an education will make use of it in top jobs, helping to run the country'




someone posted this on another forum, if its true its horrendous and is a clear case of tory thinking on the working class and harks back to the 19th C.
