    Think you're a bit out touch with reality if you think Hannah Montana generation are on the streets today...:confused:

    Hannah montana is only fairly recent programme....:confused::confused:

    Anyway fair play, least they have the backbone to do something. Not like us spineless lot in this country, like yourself.

    Cut out the personal stuff from here on out please folks. Fair warning.

    How do you spot the "hire ins"? As above? Vibrations? Tarot cards?

    Although, seemingly the ones causing the riots were yobs with balaclavas and other scarves hiding their face and one guy had a large iron rod lobbing it at the police, it makes me so sad to see those things :( those twats probably weren't even students.

    Least the English yobs know what they're doing.

    What are our yobs doing these days, just drinking the dole each week. No organisation from our yobs to get riots on the streets.

    In all fairness we have far more reason for riots in this country than in England. Too many spineless FF and FG lovers, looking out only for number 1 and their bank account.

    The usual vinta, the usual scenario.

    Stand back now and watch the apologists for this stuff coming in and trying to make you dance on the head of a pin.


    Don't be dragged into that stuff.

    If true, the protesters are lucky that a close protection officer didn't fire his weapon. A masked individual breaking the car windows and throwing something in could easily have been mistaken for a genuine terrorist threat.

    Any coward who shows up to a peaceful protest in a hood and mask should be shot as a suspected terrorist.

    Would people get some cop on? So do you think mindlessly destroying
    London City Centre, at taxpayers expense, and attacking innocent police who will be suffering pay cuts like others will really help or be worthwhile?

    If people started doing that in Dublin I would think they were idiots.

    The rioters are 100% right here.

    They were promised no increases in education fees,they got them trebled.

    If they went out and had a bit of a shout an a moan,that would have been it. Game over. No reaction,just sympathy.

    The government listen to economics,not morals. If you hit them economically they''ll realise that its not in their interests to do this. Requesting debate etc. won't change their minds.I doubt they enjoy gettin hit with a batton in the freezing cold but they there is no other way. Peaceful protest won't work in this instance.Even if they fail,people will know they didn't just roll over.

    Oh sorry, I thought it was actually about a car carrying a horse. Your incredibly clever method of emoting the word sigh with asterisks in bold really put me in my stupid place.

    Thank you.
