    What the **** are the retards burning a bus shelter for? Those things aren't exactly cheap for the taxpayer, and their brief term in prison won't be either!

    There's two possible reasons:

    a) They're idiots.

    b) The bus was really really late. And I mean really late.

    Well its the paper of choice for RTDH anyway. Seems to be the only entity in existence that can match his thirst for sensationalist journalism.

    We are so well behaved over here. :o

    Yeah just what we need. Arseholes wasting police time and the states money by clogging up the roads of the capital, trashing police vans and setting fire to bus stops. That's not at all counter productive...

    And the protest didn't even work. The issue of tuition fees didn't even come up in the Commons today, not even in the education secretary's speech.

    These protests rarely work. Look at France for example: lots of people on here were lauding their strong stance, but it didn't make a blind bit of difference in the end.

    Anyway, most of this is just thuggery for its own sake. That's the last thing we need in this state.

    Gross exaggeration to say 25,000 students went on the rampage when it's usually a small % adied by scumbags who cause most of the trouble and mayham and who go along under the excuse of protesting , when it just pure vandalism . I hope the dude , student or nay who threw the fire extinguisher from the roof onto crowded street last week gets the sentence he deserves .

    One of the protesters had a sign saying 'Im here for the clunge'.

    Another had a t-shirt saying 'I really need a sh*t'.

    Brilliant!

    Just saw on Sky News that fella who threw the fire extinguisher in the first riot got arrested. Didn't hear what fine/sentence if any he got though.

    RTE should really have wall to wall coverage of this, interviewing chavs in pub carparks, getting Jordan's expert analysis etc. THIS IS WHY I PAY MY LICENCE FEE FFS

    Yes.


    Yes they fucking are.



    I was talking to a girl earlier today who's down there protesting. It's hardly a 'rampage' for Christ's sake, it was a much smaller protest than the last one with much less violence - notice how it hasn't been reported too much on the BBC, just the Daily Mail spewing their usual pro-Tory anti-everyone else rubbish
