Is this the start ?
A simple question, With the protests in London yesterday of the riots from students causing thousands of pounds in damage, could this be the start of bringing down this coalition government, with dissent in the Lib Dems ranks of what proposals the Tories are putting forward, with the Clegg going back on his word, what is next ?.

Maybe. Couldn't rightly sure for sure. Could be Yes, Could be No. Maybe a little of both.

A tiny group of "anarchist" thugs won't make any difference at all.

Re: Is this the start ?
yeah, i generally feel by turning to violence it destroys any political argument they may have had, and removes the weight behind it

Re: Is this the start ?
I think there's more civil unrest yet to come. some proposals are not yet in force so not much chance of anything from the public yet. but when (such as working for your dole) starts. I think this country is going to see riots and civil unrest as a common thing.
the demonstrations against the war didn't hit anyone in the pocket as such, but when it comes to something that does hit peoples pockets, then that's where we may have problems I think.
I personally think that Cameron is trying to do too much in such a short time. that in itself is the problem I think.

Re: Is this the start ?
Nope. None of the protests when labour were in power caused the slightest bit of difference so a bunch of unwashed students rampaging through an office block in search of hot water for their pot noodles won't cause an overnight revolution.

LOL @ pot noodles. I think people have changed since the old protests. there's people now who will just go to the protests to cause anarchy. if we have enough protests about seperate issues and the anarchists go along to them ones then we got trouble

No. Yesterday was merely an example of yobs taking advantage of a legitiate protest to cause trouble. Same as the G20 protests under the previous government.
It was nothing more.

No.
If nothing else the Lib Dems can't jump ship as they know it would be suicidal. They need to hang on until the economy has turned the corner and they have something to show for things.
The Lib Dems on the left of the party were inevitably going to be nervous though the alternative was even more unpalatable, acting like sheeple to Labour's manifesto.
They literally have no choice. The major danger is most likely Europe and the potential for a referendum on Merkel / Sarkozy's required Lisbon amendment. Even Herman Van Numpty can't get around the coalition agreement.
