    fair enough, Butts

    as for the protests, what other avenue is there? the pre-election promise that the student fees would not be raised, on which many votes were given, has been broken callously and without any honour

    democracy? not really

    OMG the French unions are going to be very distressed by this performance. They surely must be feeling the threat of losing their status as Europe's most destructive protesters. This is yet another example of a nanny state that has given it's citizens a free ride for generations and now that the cash has run low they have to cut back a bit on the entitlements....with predictable results.

    Love the guy swinging on the cenotaph flag; clearly an intellectual, and a patriot...

    The UK can afford free universal education, a first class health service and a fully equipped police force. Neither of which it has at present because it is throwing billions down the drain on Trident.
    Whats your suggestion instead of Trident? As both you and I know, the scrapping of nuclear arms is highly unlikely for the foreseeable future, regardless of which party is in power.

    it is about time they forgot all that and concentrated on running the country properly
    How many deals are done at these tables and summits. Im sure its in our national interest to be there.

    If scrapping Trident doesn't cover the cost of the above then reinstate the dog licence.

    I find it difficult to get excited about politics. It's all a tad repetitive and samey for my liking.



    This cnut, however, I would gladly give a pasting.

    Charlie Gilmour
    the son of Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour has apologised for a "moment of idiocy" which saw him climb the Cenotaph during the protests.
    In a statement, he expressed his “deepest apologies for the terrible insult to the thousands of people who died bravely for our country”.

    He said: "I feel nothing but shame. My intention was not to attack or defile the Cenotaph. Running along with a crowd of people who had just been violently repelled by the police, I got caught up in the spirit of the moment.





    "I did not realise that it was the Cenotaph and if I had, I certainly would not have done what I did.
    "I feel additionally mortified that my moment of idiocy has distracted so much from the message yesterday's protest was trying to send out.
    "Those who are commemorated by the Cenotaph died to protect the very freedoms that allow the people of Britain the right to protest and I feel deeply ashamed to have, although unintentionally and unknowingly, insulted the memory of them.
    "Ignorance is the poorest of excuses but I am sincerely sorry."
    The son of Polly Samson, the journalist and writer, he was adopted by David Gilmour following the couple’s marriage in 1994.
    He grew up in the family’s Ł1.4 million farmhouse in Billingshurst, West Sussex, with the couple’s three other children.
    Charlie Gilmour’s biological father is Heathcote Williams, the writer and actor.
    After the protest Miss Samson wrote on her Twitter page: “Son in a mess after day at protests. Battered and bleeding with smashed phone. Not making much sense. Am fearful.”

    So in other words a pampered public schoolboy who never has to work but wants to be "right on" and go rioting with his other leftie mates who swallow every single word of bollocks shoved down their throats by the SWP and the NUS.

    Soap dodging, benefit scrounging c*nts, the lot of them.

    The money dries up, more shit will follow. Fallout from the bankers greed.

    If Brits think things will ever be the same again, and I'm not talking about politics or immigration, they're living in the past. The financial crisis changed things forever. The results will filter through in the next few years. The 'good times' are over, permanently.


    In a broader perspective. Everybody bought into this bullshit of 'wealth creation' pumped out by the 'elite'. Wealth cannot be created, only transferred. It has been transferred out of your pockets into theirs, coz why? Coz you're stupid enough to buy the 'wealth creation' line. Fait accompli.

    In future, tighter and tighter govt. controls will be necessary to keep the sheep in line. Cameras are a good start, but a start only. Govt's reactions world-wide to the Wikileaks saga is a excellent pointer to future direction. Enjoy.

    I largely agree with you, and it is noticeable how Cameron's govenment is embarking on the same programme of transferring money from the poor and middle classes to the wealthy that ceased with the fall of Thatcher.

    Precious few of those thuckers are students... plenty of them are middle aged anarchists and other such parasitic bacteria, perhaps with a fair few NEETS, whose birthright is being robbed from them by the students with their precious middle-class rite of passage.

    What, you mean "like wot Labour did"?!
    http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mJmwQtPmus...+long+view.gif

    both of you backpatters are talking specious bollocks.

    Seems like it must have been the weight of all that funding that lowered results relative to practically every other developed country in the world...
    You can't "buy" a good education system, that's been utterly demonstrated by the last 13 years of unprecedented increases in money being thrown into the system, with only lower and lower real attainment coming out of it, as the hard stuff is weeded out of courses to keep the nominal marks looking communistically glorious.

    As it goes, nothing is clucking free... not the education, the health, or the left-wing fucking Schutzstaffel (sorry, "Police")... I just don't get why people still pretend that it is?
    Most people do not need a degree for a job, a sense of fulfilment, achievement, or personal development... they just need the right tool for the job... but every cont in this debate who thinks that everyone simply must have a degree is - in the old adage - treating every problem like a nail, and issuing hammers (i.e. degrees), as if any other path in life is inferior.
    Health? free? universal? I don't think so... the idea of saying to someone, do what you like, ignore all the advice and help given, turn up steaming on a sat'dy night to abuse the staff and contribute to that extra Ł3bn or so that sat'dy night on the toon costs the NHS, and then demand that the rest of the population who do heed the health advice and don't take the pesh out of the exhausted medical staff to put their hands in their pockets to pay for, you, and maybe have to forgo a holiday they'd been working and saving for for weeks... honestly, thuck off! make people pay a clucking excess on their National Insurance so that they only get the help for when it really matters, such as if they need a brain transplant (yeah, go on, cancer too), but make the thuckers pay for liver rental if they try a George Best on.
    Police? Google for NWA... have you seen the police budget? the jit that comes out of your compulsory council tax levy that only ever goes up every year? Go and ask for it, and then start bleating on about Trident.

    There are getting on for about million NEETS in the country, what the thuck is a BA in Media Studies and Dramatic Lesbian Dialectic from Fulchester Polytechnic going to do for them (or society) exactly?
    They, like most people, need a thucking job, not some left wing fart bubble of class-war relativist academic compensation. Loads of those unskilled jobs that would have tided them over have been fed to the five million in the (almost literally) black economy, and there are nowhere near enough tax breaks for companies to take them on and train them.

    It's like the whole country got turned into a caricature of a left-wing polytechnic.

    I would never scrap Trident... not because of dreams of empire or any view on it's effectiveness as a deterrent... but just to prevent the left wing thuckers from pissing all that money away into a giant sweaty brown hole... which is exactly what they did with all the last few cash boons they got... pissed away on pet projects and into "community groups" (basically legalised vote bribery).

    If we're going to get rid of Trident, perhaps it would be apt to use it to cut some of our outgoings by taking out Brussels, the central belt of Scotland, and most of the urban shitholes blighted by decades of socialism, and start afresh, like wot the Aborigines do, innit?


    and [at] Flyfree...

    more bollocks... it's not the "bankers greed", it's Labour's greed... they took all your money in higher taxes... they peshed it all away in dishing out to foreigners in one way or another... and the thucked over the world economy by failing to administer the regulatory system they set up - and they did it deliberately, because they are economic illiterates who just wanted to keep the graphs pointing one way forever, like true socialists.

    wealth creation is not a zero sum game, where there are resources - be they tangible like ore and widgets, or intangible like ideas and designs for widgets - there is more wealth to be had... don't start trying to compare economics with engineering - it don't thuckin' work... Newton's laws don't apply to money, you Orwellian titbeak.

    I bet you're a clucking cockney.

    I wonder if anyone would believe the police if they said that they just "got caught up in the spirit of the moment" when they "violently repelled" the "students".
    Smashing public property, setting fires and baiting the cops is all just part of the "spirit" too.
