London streets in flames again as 25,000 go on rampage in new student fees riot.

Run_to_da_hills

Our country is in the process of being sold off and ripped apart by the foreign elite and we just sit back and complain about it meanwhile just across the water they go on the rampage again over an increase in student fees.

We are so well behaved over here.

What the **** are the retards burning a bus shelter for? Those things aren't exactly cheap for the taxpayer, and their brief term in prison won't be either!

There's two possible reasons:

a) They're idiots.

b) The bus was really really late. And I mean really late.

Well its the paper of choice for RTDH anyway. Seems to be the only entity in existence that can match his thirst for sensationalist journalism.

Yeah just what we need. Arseholes wasting police time and the states money by clogging up the roads of the capital, trashing police vans and setting fire to bus stops. That's not at all counter productive...

And the protest didn't even work. The issue of tuition fees didn't even come up in the Commons today, not even in the education secretary's speech.

Diapason

These protests rarely work. Look at France for example: lots of people on here were lauding their strong stance, but it didn't make a blind bit of difference in the end.

Anyway, most of this is just thuggery for its own sake. That's the last thing we need in this state.

Gross exaggeration to say 25,000 students went on the rampage when it's usually a small % adied by scumbags who cause most of the trouble and mayham and who go along under the excuse of protesting , when it just pure vandalism . I hope the dude , student or nay who threw the fire extinguisher from the roof onto crowded street last week gets the sentence he deserves .

Just saw on Sky News that fella who threw the fire extinguisher in the first riot got arrested. Didn't hear what fine/sentence if any he got though.

RTE should really have wall to wall coverage of this, interviewing chavs in pub carparks, getting Jordan's expert analysis etc. THIS IS WHY I PAY MY LICENCE FEE FFS

Yes.


Yes they fucking are.



I was talking to a girl earlier today who's down there protesting. It's hardly a 'rampage' for Christ's sake, it was a much smaller protest than the last one with much less violence - notice how it hasn't been reported too much on the BBC, just the Daily Mail spewing their usual pro-Tory anti-everyone else rubbish

Is it not a case the David Cameron has little choice considering the way the Labour govt have left public finances?

Can you really blame an individual government for a worldwide financial crisis?


The Tories cut the public sector, it's just what they do.

I actually find the twats "trying to stop" the crowd touching the police van really fcuking annoying. They're just attention seeking arseholes hoping to get caught on camera. The crowd should have chucked them in the back of the van and took them for a spin around town.

Don't confuse anti-Tory with pro-Labour :pac:


I think, given the time, Brown's government would have made the right decisions to lead us on to the road to recovery. He was/is a very clever bloke. Dave and Nick aren't, they're just rich. As are all their friends...

Can't say I'd have described myself as a Labour supporter before this election, but yeah.. I'd have to now :pac:

No don't deny that, but are Gordon Brown etc rich? Has a go at Cameron and praises Brown then has a go at Cameron for being rich, that confused me.

Gordon Brown wasn't born into wealth like Cameron et al. I don't know the figures, but I doubt his wealth is anywhere near Dave's.

Brown was a socialist, Cameron couldn't be more capitalist; the Tories look out for their mates in the banks.

Sorry Brummy, I'm afraid we are going to have to disagree on this issue , anyway don't want to drag the thread OT:)

Labour can be blamed for failing to make cuts to cut the deficit.

Students in Britain have fees slapped on them. They create
visible and loud protests on the streets. They let their annoyance and frustration be known.

Meanwhile, in Ireland we are now about to pay the extremely heavy price
for the gambling a coterie of bankers. No street protests even
worth talking about.

How do you feel about this? How will you look your children / grandchildren
in the eye and tell them you sat back while we lost sovereignty. What will
you tell them?

godscop

We can tell them we went to the pub and our goverment let us down..
