Student vandals turn second university fees protest violent

[AgnesIO]

So true. The Lib Dems should of kept to their words rather than let the Conservatives walk all over them. As far as I can tell, there are no Lib Dems, just a small Conservative party that merged with a larger Conservative party. Not a wise move at all, but then again Labour weren't putting themselves in a good light.

Totally agree - sadly I do not think the Lib Dems can. Lets be honest, how much control do they ACTUALLY have.

I love how you're swearing on the internet, get down to one and tell everyone what you think eh? I'm sure you'll get a nice reaction, just like the police who hit us all with batons whilst we were sat down got a pleasant reaction and hugs alround.

Swearing is hardly the worst thing in the world in modern Britain.

I am not arguing saying fees should rise - since it is ridiculous. But trashing and breaking things is just being a thug. And I will never agree with that.

Fair play in my opinion. As if the government are going to listen anyway. Clegg should've known full well the consequences of going back on his word. I only wish they did this yesterday when I was actually in London. Could have gone again today but seeing as how I am going to be in debt for the rest of my life better start saving now.

Protesting is fair play. Trashing things (which actually means the government need to get more money from some where, hmm) is pathetic.

The trashing and breaking of things is sparked when the police decide to hit people who are sat down with batons, then they get a firework to the face and cry.

What a stupid comment. I look forward to when you get a firework in your face.

I am sure the police acted for the right reasons.

This is the most stupid thing I've seen today and shows why these protests get out of hand. Police do not hit out when there's no reason to, you absolutely cannot blame the vandalism and violence of these guys (most of whom probably aren't even students and just want to break things) on the myth of police brutality

I'm sure that students sat down are causing enough chaos to run in with batons.

The myths of police violence? I see, I'm a tad confused how in your 20+ years of life (oh wise one of HxF, bow to the 20+ year old on HxF) you haven't come across the real police. But then again it is FJ and we all know about him eh?

Sorry I forgot. Police just go around beating people up for the sake of it.

You really aren't exposed to the real world are you eh? Get yourself down to an away game at the football or to a protest like today. Look at the media, right now police are keeping students in without food or water. Surely that's going to anger students? They're corrupt, an ex-constable has even stated this to my face. It's a joke, an even bigger joke is the people who want to wrap themselves up in cotton wool and give it the "la la la la la la" treatment when they're being exposed to it all.

Know what about me :S and I haven't encountered the "real" police because anything I've done illegally hasn't been anything that affects anyone else and was in private. If you had fireworks as you seem to suggest then that's reason enough for them to suspect you of illegal activity of a potentially very dangerous kind, so you're hardly innocent if that was the case. If not then I still can't believe you did nothing at all if they attacked you, especially considering how little force was used even on those who were actually fighting and causing destruction

We were sat in the middle of a road, and given a five minute warning to move. Literally seconds after this five minute warning police stormed everyone and one officer hit atleast five females sat on the floor on the head with his metal baton coursing major head injuries. As I've stated already today, I'm not condoning injuring people at all and would hate to see anyone injured in this manor however with it being physically seconds after the 'big' man in the yellow jacket attacked atleast five females then theirs always that small sense of satisfaction to see the big man rolling around.

What a ******* **** head. He is so brave he has a scarf on his face.

Why do these ******s think trashing things is going to help?

**** off

Probably a member of a facist/anti-capitalist group who is not a student. Why are people so gullible just to think they are students becaus they are there?
