[Andy Allen]

If they got quals, there are no jobs for 'em.

the real trouble was caused by anarchists and subversives and not students!! and the the police deliberately only sent a few so there would be public uproar and the Tory's would back the thin blue line even more to safeguard the polices funding , it was the conservative's HQ !! it was all staged for political gain IMO by them that would gain!! think about it!!

I'm only pulling your leg mate.

I reckoned it was wind up Dan, im on day 5 now but still edgey

 

[mikethetile]

No harm in a protest but damage to that degree is a nonsense and what if the fire extinguisher that was thrown off the building had hit someone.............

If thats the brains of tomorrow then were in big trouble.

I agree with that 100% mark

there was no need for any damage or throwing a fire extinguisher, the right way to do it was a sit in protest on the roof. they could still be there now with world wide coverage and an embarrassed goverment

these kids have a lot to learn

Get in!

On a scale of 1 - 10, 10 being you smoking normally and feeling okay, and 1 being a no smoker. Where are you now you're on day 5? Would you say you crave about half as much now or what?

Never a truer word said Dave, there were hundreds of well placed people that were always out for a punch up and to damage as much as they could. The police were sitting back and welcoming it. There will be many more riots when the cuts start to bite next year.
Watch this space.

 

[mikethetile]

im in full agreement with this Dom

 

[chrisroe]

my mate a copper down there and he was very excited as he hasnt been in a decent ruck since the g8 but he was v disappointed with their efforts at rioting

 

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

i have totally lost faith in the police ,in the last two years!! they are not interested in everyday crime and serving us the public, they are more interested in the cash cow of the motorist, the glamorous action jobs, like anti-terrorism, drug squad, armed -response, and as chrisroe said above beating peeps up, which in my book action and violence is the same as legalized criminality on its own, after watching them shoot the barrister who was drunk, so many times and that young Brazilian lad so many times, IMO they are animals now!! not the old fashion British bobby i new!!

 

[user123]

I must admit, I didn't get that, what was shown on TV was some teenage plonkers causing so much damage, and the police just stood and watched?!? Why didn't they just round them up and lock them up? Really weird....

 

[Olz]

I thinks its becuase there was reportedly (according to bbc news) between 250 and 500 police and 50,000 protesters, I wouldnt like to pick a fight if I was out numbered by potentially 100 to 1 and lets face it the students clearly showed that they werent opposed to violence, the moron who threw a fire extinguisher from the top of a roof into a crown should be found and locked up for attempted murder IMO, it seems to be a miracle it didnt hit anyone, and if it had i cant see how anyone would survive being smacked over the head with a large metal cyclinder from that height.

It also looked like they were surrounded by the crowd, so if they had of started grabbing folk and locking them up it begs the question what would they have done then, I cant see them having much joy asking the protesters to stop rioting whilst they passed through the crowd back to the van :lol:

Do you really believe this, the news showed one copper with his face bust open where someone had swung the wooden baton off a placard and cracked him in the face, do you really thing any human being would 'welcome' that?

On the news last night it said that the responsibility for the violence rests on the shoulders of the people who caused the trouble......Brilliant piece of journalism
On the police side , they can't touch any one in case they drop down dead or something

Nah that old bloke was going home from working on the corner selling papers. That copper who got off with manslaughter should have been locked up IMO. He didn't even have his numbers on his shoulder, so he couldn't have got clocked if he did anything wrong. I was understood coppers don't leave the station without numbers on whatever they're wearing for whatever event. So he knew he was up for something that day.

And as Chris Roe said, they love this sort of stuff. It's a legitimate brawl in their eyes.
