    If my SU were involved in that stupid counter protest, id flip. The SU should not associate itself with Nationalist or Loyalist facists.

    I was there. Almost akin to saying "I was in the 'Nam", even at this stage.

    It wasn't that bad. A few petrol bombs here and there, items of masonry used as projectiles, looting and physical violence fcuking everywhere you looked... Seen worse in London at about 11-11:30pm on a Saturday night tbh.*


    *Note: I am, obviously, taking the p*ss. I don't think I've ever been more scared for my own safety, especially with my accent...

    Thank fcuk I didn't wear my England shirt, eh?:eek:

    Ye orange b@stard! *thump*

    :p

    I was there too, pretty scary! Rocks, fireworks, petrol bombs, etc., bein thrown... then the riot police started chargin and everybody legs it! :D Mad sh!t in general. I started headin home when they were at the spire, cos it seemed like it was gonna continue like that for the rest of it (ie. riot police pushing them back slowly slowly slowly), thank god I did cos it REALLY degenerated after that! :eek:

    I personally praise the protest (not the violence) but I'd be lying if I said I didn't have a grin on my face when I saw a table chucked through a window at the PDs HQ! :D

    Flip

    and what do think the majority of students have been doing this year with silly non-education, UCD related protests against Irish Ferries, workers sacked from their jobs, workers who believe they have the god given right to get a job because they live near a certain place etc. etc. etc.???
