burton just wont go away

Quoted from 1054

No matter what you think of the students/school children who are causing damage to the centre of London. . . . at least they have a 'cause' . . . .  overweight, over the hill, p1ssed up fat fuggers who try and give it the big un in a market town is just pitiful. . . .

Agree with that, just means I have to put my prices up  

Quoted from marinerian

Tell me about it, looks like I will have to put my prices up, though I am going to try and refrain as much as possible  

Quoted from alvinghammariner

I bet Doddsy can't wait to try the kettling method of crowd control.

Quoted from darren9

Sorry, are people defending the students?

Students are some of the most annoying people on the planet, they tend to be self-absorbed, pretentious and even worst than that, socialists. What an ignorant and ill informed comment! Go and research students, not all are hippies, some work bloody hard when studying....though I didn't back from 2000-2003, also I was in favour of the Iraq war!

They're all over the media at the minute (in particular that ...great lover of socialism the BBC) whining about how hard done by they are. They bang on about education being their "right" and yes, they are almost correct but while they have the right to education further education ie: college or university is not a right. Though a jump from £3000 up to £9000 is extreme don't you think? Our little piece of the world is in the sh*t,

Public services are being cut, the police force, the NHS, the fire service are facing cuts, the MOD are having MASSIVE cuts, the Nimrod's have been mothballed, the harriers retired early arc royal is now scrap metal. What makes the students think that they should be saved from cuts or that they shouldn't have any sort of austerity measures like the rest of us face? I don't think the majority of students don't expect to avoid cuts, they are just annoyed at the huge increase to their fees they may have to pay  back!. Also the Armed forces have wasted MILLIONS of pounds over the past few years, watch/read the news today!



Even if I did support their cause (which, blatantly, I don't) is daubing graffiti over a memorial to Churchill necessary? Does attacking a car carrying the next king of the England while chanting "Tory scum" (erm, are the royals conservative? Or are the soap dodgers confusing being Tory and being rich again?) and "off with their heads" help the cause? Is attacking police officers a legitimate way of protesting? I agree some of them were clearly hi-jackimng the protests and others were just criminals, for the defacing of war monuments and attacking Royals, I would like these baffoons hung for treason![/b]

Once you attack police, throw items and generally act like a complete Neanderthal how do you expect those police officers act? Everyone has the right to peacefully protest, what they were doing was not peaceful so get off the TV and stop complaining that the police reacted in kind. Come on the police are not halo shining angels are they, didn't a few, allegedly attack a protester in a wheel chair? Who listens to peaceful protests? Would the Government? Not saying I condone the actions before you start, I am just debating your comments!
