    What a way to stick it to the man! I'm sure Cowen feels well and truly scolded with a heap of mars bars waiting outside of work for him. They even threw beer cans! He's really going to hate that!

    I hope they were Aldi's Mars equivalent and not the real deal.

    Titan Bar

    Otherwise they are undermining their own argument of hardship...

    From RTE website
    Gardaí are using armoured vehicles to push through the crowds, mounted gardaí are also at the scene.

    They need armoured vehicles because an ordinary vehicle wouldn't stand a chance against people?????

    Try getting hit in the head with 50g of tasty caramel nougat and chocalate and come back and tell us it's non violent...

    Remember kids, a Mars a day helps you whinge about having to pay. :pac:

    Ha! They should put a big hairdryer in place of the water canon and melt the chocolate mid air.

    Or play some "hot chocolate" music on loudspeaker - that would disperse the crowd fairly quickly.

    Ahem, http://twitter.com/UTprotest_live

    It appears the usual bunch of crazies consisting of the Socialists, Sinn Fein et al have hijacked it and turned it violent.

    Come on man it's AH; fun making is an art.
    FWIW I support the students somewhat, but the system is broken and money has to come from somewhere. When you see what they're being asked to pay in the UK (3K pushed up to 9K+ £stg) the lot of Irish students doesn't seem as bad.
    When the public take to the streets, if that ever happens, there'll be a similar thread on here I'm sure.

    Now onward with the student bashing and chocalte related jokes!
