Personally I don't want demonstrations banned, I just want to see the demonstrations allowed to occur without being hijacked by a 'rent a mob' intent on confrontation & violence.

If I was a student trying to make my voice heard regarding tuition fees, I would be appalled if the demonstration I attended, in good faith, was turned into a riot by people with a different agenda.

The diatribes regarding the Police in this thread indicate, in my opinion, just how far the issue of tuition fees was subjugated by a minority who had no interest, whatsoever, in that issue, but just saw another opportunity for civil unrest....
