and the remainder will just be students having a peaceful protest -not hooligans and *******s- just people .

That might be but you have to admit there seems to be a LOT of hooligans and *******s. why have the real students not identified the idiots and kept away from them ?

The thing is that on the BBC news I seem to be watching two different events.One is the pushing and shoving,throwing of missiles and attempts to enter buildings and roads that the police are defending.

Then there is the nice cosy interviews with what appear to be rather earnest and slightly naive young people whom are neither throwing missiles or attacking the police..they don't even have placards and aren't even shouting slogans.

So which is the reality?

i doubt the police are in listening mode [too busy] - a few strategically placed pockets of rent a mob are probably responsible for the violence and i don't think there have been many arrests .

I have looked at itv, sky and the bbc and they are all showing hooligans smashing windows, attacking police, trying to enter buildings, The student leaders should have known that there would be hooligans at this event, all they had to do was remember what happened just the other day. Yes there are real law abiding students at this event but there does seem to be a large amount of hooligan students as well !!!!!!

I have just been looking at the photo of a student swinging from a flag at the cenotaph as well. I honestly feel that there is a very large group of hooligans and *******s intent on starting as much trouble as they can.

The next bunch of hooligans the police are going to have to deal with on our streets will be the union renta mobs

mark my words.

I have been watching this on each channel, and to be honest how the police did not retaliate, beggars belief from me, they were totally professional against a bunch of thugs who don't deserve to go to any college, apart from Feltham remand centre.

As l have said early in this thread, we pride ourself on free speech, but this was beyond me, if l was a parent of any student today, l would throw them into to Thames and let them freeze there todger off, it was dispicable behaviour, l felt sorry for the police dogs, that would have had to bite them, dogs need excecise to bring down criminals, the students weren't criminals - they were packs of animals who need caging.

The genuine students are playing a clever game. They know they need exposure for the cause and violence will disorder wll gauantee that. They know the only reason they've had unlimited coverage today on all channels was because it was going to kick off. And then they give an interview now and again with some mild platitudes criticising the destruction.

It certainly isn't in their interest to dicourage the rent-a-mob.

looking at the footage the 'wombles' were involved. Professional rioters and I reckon we will see a resurgence of their tactics in the coming months.

Fun and games ahead...

iFrankie · 09-12-2010, 23:48

Im sure they can voice their opinions in a different way instead of resorting to violence!

Derek · 10-12-2010, 06:20

Some mouthpiece on BBC News right now.

It's all the fault of the Police seemingly, if they hadn't reacted when being pelted with bottles and fireworks the disorder wouldn't have happened.

papa smurf · 10-12-2010, 06:30

i blame lying politicians for this mess .
