wtf is that all about ,just put the news on and there will be plenty to clear up tomorrow

I must be getting old. I am growing sick of this country, and many of the people in it.

How on Earth did anyone get close enough to attack the car?

Why does anyone feel they have the God given right to 'free' education? If it's subsidised, why would it always be at the same level?

I am not opposed to protests, but there has been more commotion caused by students about tuition fees than just about anything else that I can remember in the UK.

Did we get upset about fuel prices?

Did we get angry about NHS/Police/Fire Service cuts?

If the student demonstrators are just a small minority, they are a bloody sight more vocal and active than either party affected my two topics above.

Probably best that I don't get started on this topic now. It's a shame and I'm glad that no-one was hurt. Our monarchy is just about the only positive 'asset' that our country has now, that sets Great Britain apart. To see one of them hurt or worse due to an incident of such nonsense would be appalling.

Batten down the hatches!! The morons are taking over!

if this is a real picture they are taking the piss big style

This is a sad symptom of our society.
Apathy rages, quietly undermining the decency we were once known for. Mark my words, this is the tip of the iceberg. Community used to police itself largely, as bringing shame on ones family was often enough of a deterrent. With the growth of mass population, anonimity has freed people from that social constraint, and coumminties in their real sense are dwindling.
Upon the first protests, the police got a kicking for being to heavy handed, and too quick to interfere with a protest.
The next time, and they got a roasting from the british press when they policed it with a softer less militaristic approach.
And then round three goes apeshit today.
Watch what happens each and everytime from here on in, petrol prices, gas and fuel prices, job cuts you name it. Rent a mob will dominate the news for the foreseeable while the country is on it's knees with this recession.
And with less police to keep a lid on it, less ambulance staff to tend to those involved, maybe people will end up having to get involved after all.
In the absence of light, darkness will prevail.
(Living closer to London than most on here, it's pretty bloody dark here already, have you got a torch?)

Just had a thought, if some of these poor young people feel compelled to stay in education to prevent them from falling into a life of crime (as one suggested on the news) why don't they join the armed forces and do something positive instead?
The boys and girls at war on different fronts at the moment are the ones I have more sympathy with, the financial shortcomings mean they are at greater risk of harm, the students simply face the choise of working for a living, or paying towards their education at a higher rate than they wish.

There's more............

Wonder how many innocent business people will be financially harmed by these arseholes actions?

I was behind the students, before this honestly thought why should they have to pay 9k a year to go to uni ...

but now a minority of 'protestors' urinate on winston churchill, swing on the cenotaph, burn the christmas tree in trafalgar, graffiti national monuments, trash offices etc - I have no time for them .... they should be policing themselves and stop these things happening - saying that, how much is stirred up by the media .. whenever you see someone putting a brick through a window, the audience seem to be almost all camera men

Surely you would nt be seeing it otherwise?.....

he should be made an example of..............

i do and always have believed that as a workforce we have a right to withdraw labour, etc. in the event that all other mediation has failed however this just takes the pi$$

half of the "educated" darlings dont even understand what they are protesting about and unlike the "normal" rent a mob hijack, this one seems to be actioned by various Little Lord Timothy's rebelling against Daddy rather than what they purport!!
