Missed this bit, I think I'd forgotten your stance in this thread, it must have been quite a while since I've posted in this thread.
Fair enough, I had thought/assumed you were in favour of the fees.
I guess where we differ, is in how to go about getting the message across.
As I mentioned earlier in the thread, that although I'm against violence, I can't help but watch in awe as a few hundred anarchists (spread out over 4 demos) achieve what hundreds of peaceful demonstrations back in 1997 failed to. All we managed after all those protests back then was 4 seconds on the 6 o'clock news (once, that I can recall).
Unfortunately, the student plight has received much bad publicity as a result of the excessive violence.
However, I wouldn't like to see the police using water cannon or rubber bullets as I fear the innocent protesters would be the ones to suffer rather than a violent minority.
