What the hell is the Man (Nick Clegg) doing. He and his Party have sold their soles to the devil just to get into a position of power. Hang your head in shame Nick Clegg. Shame on the Police, it will be your children too which this policy will affect. The riots is an expression of how strongly people feel about this. The Govenment's spin on words calles the protests thuggish behaviour, its only the Govenment that has behaved thuggishly breaking promises - what's the point in voting anymore?

@HBurns44 The only thing I don't agree with in your post is the misspelling of "Souls" unless they have been seen walking around with only the upper portions of their shoes intact, while barefoot on the ground.

The labour government brought you to something amazing......believe me I am no supporter of the consvs, but hell a country with the lowest tuition fees in the western world......aaaagghh, As you all may know every face and each convicted in the riots have been forwarded to evert major company world wide. I fear their future.

@hjakeh

but then again judging by your name your one of the invaders/non-indigenous born that has benefitted at the expense of the ancients....

@hjakeh NO THERE BOTH SHIT Young Greens today drew attention to the fact that it was Labour government that introduced tuition fees in the first place & Labour government that turned down proposals by Greens and others for massive job-creation to tackle the recent recession.

[imnotsickimjustaboy]

THE FACT IS WE DONT LIVE IN A DEMOCRACY, THE GOVERNMENT ARE CORRUPT, THE POLICE(maggies rent boys) ARE ONLY INTERESTED IN THEIR OVERTIME PAYMENTS .

This is deeper than the tuition fees and you ALL Know it! At least these real people are doing something about it as the apathy in this country is a disgrace!

All you people complaining about it are smug ignorant sheep who cant see that people will not put up with it anymore.

NEXT TIME WE NEED A MILLION + PEOPLE THERE .

God bless you guys. "Maybe the time for nonviolence is over". I love seeing people organize mobilize, in the end you will get what you want. Keep it up. As far as I'm concerned this is the most healthy act of democracy. We don't see this in USA, we have lame town hall meetings discussing the raping of our rights peacfully. I love seeing people get off their tushies and take it to the streets. I want to live and be with you people. Education is not a privilege its a right!

The police are just maggies rent/boot boys. They would suck camerons cock for overtime payments.... for crying out loud dont feel sorry for them!

Respect to those taking direct action...REAL men and women !

Next time a million plus people there! Think we are scared of a few horses!
