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....

Well said
I do feel that students should not have to pay more for there tuition and that in this country we should be educating our young for free.
What i cannot stand is that a large amount of the students felt they had the right to riot on our street and attack the police and because of that they have lost any support thay would have had from me.
When you watch the large amount of news coverage there does seem to be a very large contigent of hooligans smashing up public property and attacking the police. People defend the students by saying it was a minority but hell look at the amount of hooligans you see attacking the police and is that in fact a small minority ???
