Agents Provocateurs Turn Peaceful Tuition Protest Into Violent Melee

Hmm - orchestrating something like this is playing with fire.

There are going to be a lot of unhappy people out there, if there becomes a general mood of protest rather than our usual sullen acceptance then things could get interesting for the condems - doesn't take many tanker drivers to stop working to bring the country to its knees.

But to be fair, whether the current govt is going about things the right way or the wrong.... they aren't responsible for the mess we are in.

I'm not saying we aren't where we are or suggesting who's fault it is; I'm just suggesting that setting up a violent (to property) protest in order to distract from a potentially popular movement (the old 'Wookie' defence) might win the battle or this issue whilst risking 'loosing the war' by starting a chain of militancy that could lead in unexpected directions. Who would have forecast that the poll tax movement would have garnered the widespread public support it achieved despite being kicked off by anarchists?

You don't get it....

It doesn't matter which party gets into power, they are controlled, the real people in power you cannot vote in or out.......

It's just for show

The real people in power, you don't see on TV or Read about them..........

OK, I suppose it's probably something like the X-Files.

Expect more of this,the NUS privately are organising what one of their executive described as "french style civil unrest"over the coming weeks.

The only Paris of which the NUS is aware has the surname Hilton.

The spectacle of people who have enjoyed an education until the age of 18 paid willingly by UK taxpayers and who now wish to extend the free ride at the expense of UK taxpayers is bound to attract widespread support from UK taxpayers.

The NUS knows this to be true. Because NUS members really are bright people.
