Maybe so, but the usual response to this sort of thing is "do as the French do" - except that those people seem to think that somebody else should be doing it for them.

And when we had students "doing as the French do", the right-wing press and its readership went into full-on outrage mode.

So we should riot and cause criminal damage - would that make anything any cheaper?

The students may say yes. They think it will keep their fees down.

Well I'm inclined to think that they did much damage to their cause with their antics.

Besides, who on earth would want to behave like the Frogs?

I agree, we are British after all and are expected to show some degree of restraint and decorum to the heathen across the water!!

As for the students, they did nothing for their cause apart from bad publicity and still the fees will go up!!

The days of militant action ceased with the miners strike. As government said at the time - never again will the commoners of this land hold the powerhouse of the establishment to ransom! We will sieze their lands, their rights and their life if they ever dare to attempt to bring down the government.

So there: you have a choice, be charged under the Treason Act and be hung, drawn and quartered or under the Anti-Terrorism Act and spend 20 years in the Scrubs!
