I know - I'm not saying he did. But unlike you I'm not forming my opinion of this based on weak 'evidence'. Nothing wrong with robustly defending your stance but you have to admit you are forming your view on the very 'evidence' that you're telling us is anecdotal.

That screams of the double standards you claim to be against.

I agree, if I have missed any questions, I am sorry and I will do my best to answer them.

There really is not justifiable reason for them to behave that way.

The students that is, not the police.

Are you for real?

Have you never used a water pistol?

Well I can view it but it is very inconclusive because it suffers from being dark,murky and at some distance with a fair amount of pushing and shoving with bodies interposed in front of the mobile phone camera.It's virtually un viewable.

Refusing to answer questions posed by the other party does not promote a meaningful debate IMO...

What questions have I refused to answer? I will answer the questions I can and I apologise if I have missed any.

Well that tells me as much as the video would have. Thank you Maggy

I therefore stand by my initial comments.

It has to be said that a wheel chair can cause a nice bruise or two if rammed into legs or run over toes and used as a battering ram it might just get you through a thin blue line.

I am working at about thirty posts behind everybody else, I will get through as many as I can, but there are few things I need to attended to, I will return soon.

Maybe that should tell you something, perhaps?

We have all seen the previous demonstrations and the riots that went with them, so any wheelchair user that goes to the next demonstration knows exactly what they are letting themselves in for, therefore I have no pity for them whatsoever.

Before anyone posts a retort about wheelchair users my brother has never walked since birth and uses a wheelchair every single day, so I know a lot more about using a wheelchair than most people and you never put yourself up for it unless you are very, very stupid.

I did and I can't discern anything in the video.It's not very clear and in fact is very bad as a source of evidence.
