what a shocking and disgusting sight!

[Bobbisox]

We knew we were in for cuts by this Government but to see students lighting fires outside Tory HQ and smashing the windows of Millbank Towers in London is, quite frankly, sickening, it's like looking at mob rule, what they expect to achieve by their thug-like actions, I don't know!

Dave......I dont understand you.............why the secrecy?......I would not question it..........why should I?

[MickyMacgraw]

just a question to those that remember them.
Were the miners and dockers strikes violent at all?

[sandyRoe]

Have the police been caught unprepared? Where are the Blair Peach and Ian Tomlinson bashers?

[Davethedog]

Stevie i'm with you. I think that Sandy is so right.

Authentic - All the windows that buildings about 25 floors high :-)

Now that we are friends with the French again and have agreed various partnerships with regard to defence etc would it not be a good gesture from President Sarkozy to loan us the CRS to control and disperse this bunch of usual "protesters" who seem to be the usual "rent-a-mob" intent on any form of confrontation with authority?

Squad shes studying Classics at Cambridge

[bibblebub]

And some people just sit and post on message boards about how shocking and disgusting things are and do nothing, thus letting MPs get away with breaking their promises because of their inaction.

yes there was violence back then, what did it achieve?

[sandyRoe]

Back then lots of policemen made a fortune in overtime. They also had the opportunity to strike a blow or two for Maggie.

Dave...then I would want to know why she is having on 5 days lecture in 2 weeks unless, the rest is made up of tutorials, in which case it seems good value. If not then I agree questions should be asked.

[Bobbisox]

the ceiling has been brought down in the Towers, now who pays for this?

[ummmm]

The insurance company?

[Bobbisox]

correct ummm: -0)

what's very scary is the way they seemed 'turned on by this violence' almost hypnotic like

[ummmm]

If anything, the one thing to come out of this is we now know why some people should not have degrees.

Ignorant fools...

[Bobbisox]

more police to be drafted in,,,,right ummmm...lol
we will have to foot the bill for them, not the insurers...;0)

I'm worried... My 8 year old is in London on a school trip :(

[Davethedog]

Squad she is studying English and Psychology at Canturbury - She is also doing some sort of make up course that has media in it.

She is in her 2nd year her time table consists in a usual week of three day Wednesday to Friday but only Friday is 10-6 this is entirely the universities decision, she now commutes because she doesn't want to increase her debts anymore than she has to.

The university cancelled wed and thur 3 weeks ago and this week for reasons that seem very unclear to me, but you can't question a 19 year old once she gives her answers but I am somewhat annoyed

[Sqad]

Dave......then you need to contact her tutor or the Dean of the Faculty for an explanation.

[Bobbisox]
