University Fee Student Protest, London - A Picture Special

before noon! nice one!

Caroline are you 8 years old? What happened at Millbank tower was a discrage, to see police officers who were just doing there job, being attacked and quite possibly almost killed by a fire extinguisher made a sham of the protest, it has undermined it and will cause a backlash that damages any chance to counter the new fee's. Also how do you propose the government pays for uni education?

Yes because peaceful protests/sit down protests/occupations etc REALLY do change things don't they? it worked when we didnt want to go to the Iraq war...oh no wait-we were ignored. the government doesnt seem to listen when we protest, the only thing that grabs attention is violence, choas, it shows that we are not going to take any sh*t unlike idiots like yourself who twiddle their thumbs and take what the government offer. Well money-as you probably are too naive to know-is created out of thin air (yes that's right, THIN AIR!) soooo (places thumbs on chin) in answer to your question of 'how do I propose the government pay for uni education'? well I propose they pull it out of their arse's, cause that is where they talk from.
Say what you want you passive sheep, but the elation I felt when I saw those scene's yesterday was amazing, it was amazing to see people get angry and do something, call me an 8 year old, but that does not deter my happiness at all.
Lastly, and most importantly, ofcourse I don't want anyone to die, and the throwing of the fire extinguisher was reckless and stupid, I don't condone anyone attacking anyone, but what I do agree with was the smashing up of the Tory HQ.
Nothing has been undermined, only those who are too passive will feel that the chaos in the protesting has ruined our chances of fighting the fees rise. I see the choas as a sign of the fortitude of a large group of people who have taken too much, and are ready to fight with everything they have. We clearly see different sides to this argument, so let's just leave it at that.
Oh yeah, and when you see the police cars and motorbikes stopping traffic in central London to escort a dirty corrupt politician to work... they are just doing their jobs then arn't they.

It's a shame that they are raising tuition fee's because you clearly need an education. Primarily, on the subject of peaceful protests, have you ever heard of Gandhi, he only lead India to Independence through peaceful protest? Secondly, money, is currently being made right now at this very second on the the interest of the £1000000000000 that this country is in debt, so it's not being made out of thin air, it's disappearing into it. I am of the opinion that students should not pay for their tuition, however, as the money has run out, where is no alternative. On the plus side tuition fee's will mean we get a better standard of education, because as was recently shown by the Millbank incident, it's frankly not good enough.

We are clearly see complete opposites of the same situation. Personally I havent seen peaceful protest do much. Yeah Ghandi's was a famous one that really helped save the people of india....oh wait no, they are still in dire poverty, swimming in lakes full of litter and disease, ghandi really progressed india didn't he. just look at the bigger picture for christs sake, there is no talking, no peaceful protesting, no nothing with the government. What about the people who have camped out on parliament square for years in "peaceful" protest at the wars etc, yeah they have done a lot havent they? the only good thing they do is bring people attentions to their cause, for a split moment, then the passer by forgets.
Personally, Ghandi was a puppet, and so was Nelson Mandela (maybe not before his imprisonment, but certainly afterwards when he came out and became ruler of his country. yeah that country is still in vile poverty.
Oh and when I was studying in London I used to go past the houses of parliament everyday and see the tamil tigers peaceful protest where one was starving himself to death. That one turned out great too...not.
Well I was actually watching the news, with a high member of government talking about the tuition fees, and it was put to him that 'would the students see the benefits of the higher tuition fees in their university courses?"
and he said simply NO.
And I already have a university education thank you, thank god it wasn't anytime in the future, but for over £3000 a year I paid, I was read power point presentations, watched films I already watched in my own spare time, and was shown youtube video's.
University is a waste of money at the current level they charge anyway.
Let's just agree to completely disagree.

Caroline, you have a perverse and puerile way of thinking. The greatest fault with the internet is that it gives illiterate people like yourself a platform from which you can spew your nonsensical idiom.
When the cost of university increases it will also mean that the standard of education rises with it, you are a prime example of that low standard, I am sorry that the education system has let you down.
Please go to your local bookshop and buy something that teaches critical thinking.
