I agree with you.
The students have a very valid point and if I was a student I would be livid with the government but this is not the way to deal with it.
Having said this I do wonder how many of the rioters are students and how many are people jumping on the bandwagon for a day of violence and vandalism.

What did upset me was the pictures of police on horses riding into the crowd. It looked like a recipe for disaster and mass injury.

The trouble I have with it is that 95% of the students protesting are doing it sensibly and maturely, unfortunately the 5% that aren't are ruining it for the rest of them.

I am also disgusted with the way it is going and even more so by the idiots who have joined in for a god fight, the ones who are too scared to show their faces!!!

I'm not happy 'cos Sky cancelled Jeff Randals programme to give continuous coverage of the demonstrations in Parliament Square and surrounding areas.

If you listen carefully you can just hear the disappointment in the media workers voices that it has been reasonably well controlled by the Police and they (The media) have not been able to photograph anyone inside the buildings or slinging fire extinguishers of roofs, that has really hurt their viewing figures, not to mention the chances of the silly muppets getting promotion within Sky / BBC / ITV etc.

I'm thinking of writing to Sky News to ask why they were continuing with their coverage long after the vote in Parliament. It went through with a 21 majority so that's it, done deal, what's the point of continuing to smash windows etc. Don't they know that once a law iis on the statute book it stays there for a long time (Well a few years at least )

Sad isn't it As some have said there are undoubtedly some anarchists and deliberate trouble makers in that crowd.

I think it's disgusting the way these people are behaving whether they are students or not and i hope the government do not give in to them.
