In my opinion, while not wanting to denigrate any of the stories that have arisen on both 'sides', the stories are detracting from the subject of the proposed increase in tuition fees for university education.

I'd prefer to concentrate on that as the subject of debate - the antics of adopted sons of music celebrities or the alleged ill treatment of wheelchair-bound protesters are, with respect, side issues.

The reason students are protesting is not because of police tactics. They are protesting because they are told an University Education is a pre-requisite to a decent job - but they may have to incur debts of 9 grand a year for fees alone, to achieve that standard.???
