Does anyone support the students?

Dont make me laugh-these 2 have very little in common with many many pensioners. What these scrounging toffs scoff in champagne from their benefit money would keep many poor (and getting poorer) pensioners warm for the entire winter.

The two of them with their over priviged excessive lifestyle are a nauseating example of a massive rich/poor divide

Saoirse, still doesnt mean the 'protestors' behaviour was right. Whatever your beliefs are with regards to the Royal family, they did not deserve that last night. That was downright disgusting/violent behaviour. The whole protest was. It has made a mockery of the students that did perhaps want to demonstrate peacefully.

The students have now provided the platform for these anarchists three times, each time the situation has got more violent, the students are now providing further platforms for these people, that suggests to me that the students condone the action of these people and anyone who still supports the students after this also condones this anarchy.

Nah-I reckon those 2 freeloader toffs were good value for it

Tinx - as I said before "gullible".

We saw a number of nice middle class students interviewed yesterday who said "we didn't think etc etc" - admitedly others tried to justify everything - youth - can't ever be wrong - I am sure we were similar at their age? (you probably can't remember )

These are in the main young people who are being manipulated - in some cases by their own student union reps - some realise it and others sadly don't.

However it has to stop as you are right to say - what happens next time and the time after that.

"You are bringing something into the debate that has nothing to do with the subject". Agree with you Ian - although my sentiments are with Soairse. A separate topic - if at all.

"a bit like our anarchists really.". That's the problem with anarchists - not following the rules; clue is in their title.

[Ian]

lol - agreed

Anarchism is a political philosophy which considers the state undesirable, unnecessary, and harmful

Except on a Tuesday when they claim their benefits

I support anyone's right to protest peacefully. However the violence and disgusting antics towards our war dead is not acceptable and those invloved should be ashamed of themselves.

Notwithstanding the increase in fees, are we not in danger of allowing too many of our young people to go to university ?.

[Scunner]

I wonder why these "peaceful protestors" seem able to access wherever they like and do what they wish. Maybe a scaffold pole in the side of Charlie's face and three or four students gunned down by the following close protection team as a result may just have allowed all sides to reflect, and realise that this is achieving nothing - for anyone.
