Just watching the News and Bloody hell it's all kicking off in London at the Moment with the students and Tuition Fees.

Shit mate, the commuting will suck almost as much as paying 3 times more for going to uni...
- jetSkii0
it's 3 times as much, but no one has mentioned how it compares to other tuition costs such as America. Anyone have info?

I dunno. I should have burnt something over the cost of my privatized college education. But I didn't... I was too burdened with debt afterwards to even afford gasoline or matches. =(

Kinda of a tangent here, but I have noticed that here in the U.S. we don't have many protests; if there are, they're usually really lame.
Tuition has more than doubled here in the states, and we don't say much.
- US is such a Nazi police state that everyone is shitting in their pants.pr2
- May be it's because we slowly get fucked over and only realize until it's too late.kgvs72
- because we know protests just add to the deficits even more? lose the HC and have your edu.deathboy
- spoken like the good nazi you are "deathboy". Are you wearing a death head ring btw?TheBlueOne
- No Deathboy, its because you're cowed and dosed and led by the nose.Orbit
- ha to look up death head ring.. nope no jewelry for me. and protests/riot only add to the funding problemdeathboy

- Covering your face defeats the entire idea of protest. Stand up and be counted, cowards.Eighty
- when u live n police state you have to cover your identity.pr2
- Why? In case they take your picture? You get that happening every day anyway.Eighty
- 80 lives a sheltered life im sure. he probably has never seen a cop bludgeon your friend almost to death.74LEO
- Oh let's not get personal; my point was they're not doing themselves any favors by covering up.Eighty
- If anything it'll depersonalise the protester, making it easier for any police who want to get heavy-handed.Eighty
- Which I can assure you, I HAVE seen.Eighty
- I don't think ski masks are the best way to discourage police from bludgeoning your face in... nor will it stop a baton.Uglyfreak

fuck it, come here to the united states and get your education. it'll be cheaper and we'll have a good 'ol time together

Things just got serious, Prince Charles and Camilla were in their car on their way to the Royalty Variety Show when it was attacked. Covered in pant and a window smashed.
- They drop in to lend their support to the students and this happens. Scandalous.Fax_Benson

Got caught up in it at Oxford Circus earlier tonight, wish I'd had my camera! They wrecked Topshop... the only shop to offer students 10% discount?!

either by complete lack of intelligence or malicious intent the royals managed to get their Rolls Royce fucked last night.
I was thinking that this would be quite easy for the cops to stage, perhaps even using a confiscated paint balloon. I've never been to London but it seems that the car was far from the major conflict areas...
Are the Metpolice posturing for increased salary? New laws? More control? Why is it the graffiti that the media uses to define a 'violent' protest?
