The revolution has started at Millbank Tower.

Arise ye starvlings......

[JohnM]

I trust the lecturers who are attending will have their pay and employers pension contributions docked.

The BBC interviewed a few of them. They had no idea of the actual facts. If they are too stupid to work it out, they are too stupid to go to university.

As Soon As This Pub Closes
I could have done it yesterday if I hadn't a cold,
But since I've put this pint away I've never felt so bold.
So as soon as this pub closes, as soon as this pub closes,
As soon as this pub closes, the revolution starts.

I'll shoot the aristocracy and confiscate their brass,
Create a fine democracy that's truly working class.
As soon as this pub closes, as soon as this pub closes,
As soon as this pub closes, I'll raise the banner high.

I'll fight the nasty racialists and scrap the colour bar,
And all fascist dictatorships and every commissar.
As soon as this pub closes, as soon as this pub closes,
As soon as this pub closes, I'll man the barricades.

So raise your glasses, everyone, for everything is planned,
And each and every mother's son will see the Promised Land.
As soon as this pub closes, as soon as this pub closes,
As soon as this pub closes, I think I'm going to be sick.

Have anyone thought of asking any single one of them the simple question: Ok we will fully fund invividuals Uni education but, how are we going to pay for it? All you will get is the usual ###### about big business, bankers and uncollected taxes without any real suggestions.

Then again looking at it from a different angle this proves the indiciduals present should have had a lot more spent on their education....

I stand corrected, listening to the radio an NUS leader said they prefer a graduate tax rather than tuition fees.

BBC: Some protesters flying Anarchist flags

Anyone find it ironic that Anarchist's have flags? Surely the whole idea....

[JohnM]

Shameful actions at Millbank, disowned and condemned by NUS leader and many students. I'm sure Weary Rhiino will also condemn this.

Those responsible should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law and then kicked of their courses. I don't see why I should pay for these tossers.

I should add, maybe David Cameron can ask the Chinese how to deal with uppity students.

Idiots

[West Country Eagle]

Suspect most of the people kicking off at Milbank, especially later, are just the usual muppets who fancy a ruck.

Made me laugh when I heard one of the Milbank "protesters" interviewed by phone on the BBC News channel. Sounded like a right hooray Henry.

For mine, protests from students about tuition fees screwing over poorer would-be students would be far more effective if they came from students with working class accents.

I do, though, approve of the anti-Clegg sentiments. We all know what to expect from the Tories, but Clegg and co stood for election on policies that have quickly been ditched as soon as they're in power. I know politicians of all colours do this (new Labour being a good example), but from a party that banged on about being an "alternative" to the two main parties it's pretty rich.

Was he the one who admitted he didn't vote, was happy to break windows, was a member of the NUS but disagreed with the NUS and equated today’s protest to the suffragettes and the American civil rights protests?

Stupid actions that help nobody.

Incited by the usual middle class idiots who call themselves Trotskyists, anarchists and anarcho-syndicalists but are in reality an alternative to the Bullingdon Club for those who like patchooli oil and combat trousers. I fear, however, a number of impressionable young London FE students actually did the serious damage. Most of whom did not cover their faces and will be prosecuted and jailed. Perhaps unsurprisingly, nobody was bright enough to realise that Lib Dem HQ is just around the corner on Cowley Street and would have been much harder for the police to defend.

Yes. A prize idiot.

[JohnM]

'cos they are to stupid. Where are the out of control riot police when you need them.

What did they say in the Blues Brothers big chase? Oh yes, the use of unnecessary violence had been approved.

Angry, I'll say so.

Partly at the media's distortion of a perfectly sensible way of financing university education.
Partly at the Coalitions inability to get it through teh thick skulls of the ( ) opposition.
Partly because it will as usual be the poor bloody taxpayer who has to pay for all this damage.

If they slashed the number of students going to University on merit to those getting decent marks they could subsidise the ones that did get good marks. Or better invest in apprenticeships and the like

[shrek]

The student on the Radio 4's 6 o'clock news headlines demanding Cameron, on possibly his highest profile trip as PM out of the country, come out and face the students, his university must be very proud of the time and effort put into his education to date!

[Ullman]

Angry, I'll say so.

Not me, I found the sight of tens of thousands of them taking to the streets rather uplifting.

Good to see some of our young folk still have some fight in them.

Yes, me too. Immature they may be, and doubtless the actions of the few idiots amongst them will have ruined the coverage they will get.

Well, there's a place for that, and currently its with NATO.

Not angry at the legitimate protest of the many, angry at the physical violence, the damage to property, the example they set and the cost to the taxpayer. The scrotes should be made to suffer the consequences.
