Do you recognise these student rioters?

Well it blatantly hasn't so far, as only two arrests have been made, the fire extinguisher guy and someone else. Arresting everyone would just make them look heavy handed.

Gackt · 13 Nov 2010 at 19:14

Finally, some good old rioting. And here I was thinking that the UK had gone soft and were happy to let people screw us over.

Nick Herbert said police would learn lessons after a "hard core" minority stormed the Conservatives' London HQ. Dozens were injured and 50 arrested.

Hardly two arrests.

You own an xbox 360, a £100+ smartphone, and are what 16-17?

I'm going to guess you've never had to worry about that either.

At least i can sympathize with those who do.

Really? cause most of the time you seem to try and make it seem like you are one.

What about the Police Officers that were injured, are they fair game?

Westyfield2 · 13 Nov 2010 at 19:44

I havent read all four pages, but... Have they all been rounded up and shot yet?

Aswell as all the criminal damage caused and injured police officers, this is what the protests will be remembered as:

I hope the NUS are proud. Well actually I hope the NUS go bust.

If someone that thick is able to get into University these days, well no wonder our country's screwed!

I don't recall ever doing that. I certainly wouldn't describe myself as 'well off' however.

Maybe you're just confusing my caring about other people for being one. You do understand that everyone isn't selfish don't you?

I hear there is another demo planned for next week? I wonder how brave the clowns will be then?

Band wagon, upon it people will jump.

To be honest this is what the right wing press have been hoping for and the left wingers delivered it to them on a plate

We should also thank the anarchists.

The guy behind the crazy looking guy at the front who looks half asleep.

Here he is again!

I'm sure I read that this wasn't the guy that threw an extinguisher, apparently the one that was thrown was a different model?

Jokester · 14 Nov 2010 at 12:21

He's holding a CO2 extinguisher, one that's thrown looks more like a foam extinguisher.

Perhaps. I would love to see how they would have behaved if we had a Labour government - or it wasn't a Tory building

Do you think that would make a difference ?

The cops were heavily outnumbered whoever was in government.

I notice the smiley though so I will take the comment with a pinch of salt.

Wish I had went to Oxbridge and not a polytech.

There's a clue there somewhere.

Remember guys this was the middle of London. Odds on at least some of the violent protesters having never been to Uni, and just along for some good ol' fashioned rioting?

Well all those that were arrested were either school students or university students.
