Should London have to put up with...... anymore of this juvenile baby's-just-thrown-his-toys-out-of-the-pram nonsense?

Are you saying we should routinely arm the police with Super Soakers?

f--- it why not just crack out the tanks

It would probably be more sensible to just get shot of a government which is doing things that it has no mandate to do. Can't Clegg get arrested for fraud/trades description etc ?

That didn't take long. No. We don't have a Tian-an-Man square, but there's plenty of room in Hyde Park for the silly little Kevins and Perrys to jump up and down and complain about life not being fair without fear of tank action.

I wasn't aware that Clegg ran the country, he'll do what his boss tells him

he'll do what his boss tells him

Well I'm all up for the Bullingdon Boys being arrested and facing a bit of revolutionary justice then.

Totally agree. Plenty of room on here too for overgrown mummy's boys to whine on about the rights and wrongs of the world. Nothing worse for them than watching the 'inferior' classes mobilising, where will it end? Isn't that Nick Clegg a nice man?

Should London have to put up with...

...Woppit?

No, quite frankly. Coming here, moaning, riding on pavements, terrorising pedestrians, starting fights, etc... 😉

I thought this was going to be about more Brompton pavement arguments.

it won't be a ban on students only though will it?
nobody able to kick up a stink about anything at all?

[i]Who's for a blanket ban on marches[/i]

that's probably just You, Cameron, Widdacombe Thacher,(if she could remember her name) and Tebbitt.

Exulted company indeed...

That didn't take long.

😆 😆 😆

Quite.

Patronising, misguided and stupid comment I'm afraid, and somewhat out of character. Sure, arrest the people causing damage/violence and treat them as criminals, but seeing as the UK doesn't generally complain about very much by way of demonstration (unlike the French), I think the size and nature of these protests says a lot and is a perfectly valid, if not the ONLY, voice that people have when they are not being represented as they wish by the government.

We should all sit there quietly and accept the nonsense any government handed out, we did it long enough through the Labour years - why stop now....

Don't get me started on the FRENCH. National pastime, isn't it?

You're trolltastic and I claim my £4.50.

Only £4.50?

Bloody government cuts and austerity measures....

The UK is just about only European country with its financial, political, and cultural capital in one city and your saying you don't want to put up with demonstrations?
Tough, if you don't like it move, or even better demonstrate against the goverment.
I also think you miss the point, I personally doubt very much that half the protesters were students more likley it is anyone under the age of 30 who have seen their chance of owning a house, paying for their retirement, or having the same standard of living that you have enjoyed, go down the swanney.

Will be £5.40 in January, hold off till then to maximise profits.

Sure this thread will still be going on then anyway.

I think London should have to put up with this all the time. They always have it so good, it's not fair.

Probabaly not a million miles off reality.

Tinder paper + match anyone?

Yep. Expect a demo a month now until the summer. That's what the police and the government are worried about. This is no longer just about university fees. It's about ema cuts at FE colleges which brings a totally new party to the table. If there is unrest into the spring we can expect large-scale social unrest across our major urban areas all summer long. I think it's rather sweet to see the students getting radicalised and activated. I wonder what the long term effects will be?

Gotta give it to the Tories, they've managed to unite the under 25's from every walk of life almost overnight.

Is this Cameron's big society in action? How inspiring.

Don't get me started on the FRENCH.

When London stops making the decisions it can stop taking the flak.

That's not me. My hair isn't that long...

Care to explain me that or should I just report you to the mods for xenophobia?

It's British humour juan.........just accept that it's something you are never likely to understand. A bit like warm beer.

And cricket

Juan; ignore Woppit. He just wants to be 'controversial', as his life is most probbly pretty boring really.

Well, I know it is actually, as he won't come for a pint with me. Therefore it is empty and bereft of any happiness. If he did, his life would be transformed to one full of excitement and joy. 🙂

As for Ton; it's like trying to remove Artex... 🙄

Take the rough with the smooth.

Vote for me. You know it makes sense.

Protest gets slightly out of hand.

Police over-react.

Protest gets more out of hand.

Police over-react more.

Protest gets really out of hand...

Etc etc.

I don't condone violence, BUT... if that police van wasn't left in the middle of the kettle in Whitehall specifically to encourage things to kick off and give the police "reasonable grounds" then I'll eat my hat.

There's a lot of cynicism on both sides I'm afraid.

Vote for me. You know it makes sense.

I'd rather vote for a more accomplished racist such as prince Phillip

Give it a week and it'll all blow over and the cast of Skins can go back to watching daytime TV and cheap cider

... and I was "racist", er, where exactly?

Why do you think London is reading your petulant ranting anyway?

Dunno, why do you think it is. (Is it?)

and I was "racist", er, where exactly?

All the time Woppit. Even Juan picked it up..........but I think I managed to fob him off with the "it's just British SOH" ploy. I don't see why the poor geezer should be allowed to get upset by your constant offensive bigotry. Shame on you 🙁

Was that it? Perhaps it was just jocular Tory boy banter.

Cos that's when the students all go on their extended break? We wouldn't want them to interrupt their holidays in order to make a protest.

Politics is just a smoke screen, if you ignore it, what you will see is rich people getting more and more control of our lives.

You have groups of people who cannot manage resources in charge of, well resources. They pay them selves and their friends a fortune to do nothing, then they take loans out in our name, which we repay with interest.

It's a very highly organised and impressive con, on the down side rather than those resources going into people lives and them being able to buy what they need, they are forced to turn to crime.

We have a culture where the rich and powerful are making things worse and worse, a perfect example of this would be the banking system or even the insurance companies.

Now the rich even control ebay and it has become another fleecing ground for short sighted power hungry, fools. As I said it is a very impressive con, but nothing more than that.

The down side is of course the fact that as long as the rich are in charge and unopposed, our development and evolution as a species will be stunted and the chances of our species surviving will be far less.

All of us should be opposing the rich and powerful, they are after all the enemy and we are at war!

Nah. The French aren't a race. Just a bunch of long-lunchers who don't even have a language. Just a ridiculous accent...

I'm embarrassed by you and for you

Hook, line, sinker.

If students did degrees in 2 instead of 3 years and gave up on very long holidays a years tuition fee could be saved.Might save some parents from shelling out money to them all the time as well.Also stop degrees in shite such as media studies and sports science and concentrate on real stuff such as engineering!

Mine's 4 years and I'm of the mindset that I'd stab my granny to make it a year shorter.

I think if you check back woppit you'll find that it's you that's been trolled.

I'm embarrassed by you and for you

Woppit feels no shame 😐

He once posted this under the title "Entertaining at home"

Fair point actually. The third term is quite short, and far less lectures and that seem to take place. Mind you; lecturers and teachers do need time to prepare stuff for each term and years, so that should be considered.

I think there could be a lot of positive changes made, but each step should be thought out very carefully first.

Also stop degrees in shite such as media studies and sports science and concentrate on real stuff such as engineering!

(Shakes head in despair at such ignorance...) 🙁

When the students were protesting in Manchester there was no violence at all. I give it to you that it is cockneys and not students that are the problem here.

Acually during the holidays lecturers are mostly busy researching... the universities main source of income.

Actually i thought the protests, riots and even the criminal damage were brilliant. The Gov really are a bunch of and have no ssues with throwing sh!t at anyone but themselves. About time people got off their fat backsides and said enough is enough and smashed a window or two.

I know eveyone will hate me for saying this, but there you go...

You might want edit your swear filter swerve there.

I found it frustrating that term would end and momentum would be lost. During the breaks some us had space in a basement studio to carry on working on our 'useless non-engineering degree work'.

Yeah Media studies, what a waste of time... that attitude pervaded when I was at school and they all went on to be web designers :roll:. What a waste of time
