I shall try my very bestest to explain. You see, Chris's generation predates the 1997 introduction of tuition fees. The generation who were protesting in the student protests did not and will not get theirs for free.
Is this clear enough or shall I elucidate further?

... all of which has precisely nothing to do with the point you were dodging, which, lest we forget, was the issue of whether you are prepared to accept that the police ever behave in a proportionate manner, or whether they are always either over-reacting (in which case it's Police brutality, Police State, name your left-wing mantra of choice) or else failing to act due to an over-riding need to cover up some other misdemeanour.
For reference, this all has to do with your earlier conjecture that the Police's 'failure' to charge Alfie's mum with slander (or 'wasting police time' once it was pointed out to you that the police can't charge someone with slander) was due to some cover up or other, as opposed to Derek's suggestion that not charging someone who was clearly angry and upset and reacting accordingly was the fair and proportionate response.
