Ooooooooooooh yah .............but it was such a hoot you see.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeuuuuuugh - Clegg and Cameron just sicken me TBH. It's like being taken back to days of yore (or yah)..............speechless (and a tad too pissed)n to give a coherent response!
Peter don't you mean the Bullsh*t Club
Nah, that's the club they all belong to now
Indeed ....................at least there was a reason of sorts behind this protest. What exactly was twat protesting against? Did they use margerine in the dining hall as opposed to butter?
jesus I'm as thick as them, gimme a job
Why destroy shop windows, attack the police, smash and break everything in their path?? whats that got to do with their cause?...they've lost all sympathy from everyone with a right mind.
ALL students should be made to pay back the costs of the damage their pathetic protest caused, on top of the new tuition fees."
Most of the students protesting did so peacefully - unfortunately most of the damage was caused by the so called "professional protestors". Some students may have been dragged along into it as well and for that reason I strongly disagree with your comments regarding ALL students being made to re-pay the costs. If that were the case anybody who has ever comitted a crime should be made to pay for any damage - and that doesn;t happen so why should it just be introduced for students??
My niece works for the Student loans group.She 's on the phones,she has worked there for two years an utterly loathes it.She has an interview next week for another job.She did like it at first,but phone call after phone call of folk complaining etc and giving her abuse has taken it's toll.It's going to get worse now....She was a student herself.
Have to be honest - I have never come across an organisation that is mroe annoying than the Students Loan Company though - I'm sure your niece does take a lot of abuse which I am not for one second condoning however at the same time I can completely understand why that may be the case.
Were you there? I'm guessing not therefore how do you know that this guy was just "trying to leave"? IMO I'm sure in time we will discover that there was in fact much more to this situation.
How do you know for a fact that he was just trying to leave??

It was LOVELY, thanks. Couple of minor niggles with hotel, but overall everything was great. Now I've got goosepimples and a tan - great look!
You've missed some lovely sunny weather, here!
I heard it was gorgeous
Don't worry, when we got back home last Sunday night, we certainly felt the benefit of having switched the central heating off for a fortnight!
Bliddy hell...
No you're right I don't but I am not making any statements saying he was just trying to leave - I am not saying that either him or the police were in the wrong - obv one of them was but we will see who in the near future I am sure, My gut feeling however is that the case isn't as cut and dry as his mother is trying to make out in the article to whoch you gave us a link.
Bloody hallelujha to tha
That's it - plot lost, gone..
I was just about to agree with that as well when I thought it looked familiar and realised that I had written it myself 2 pages back
I can't quote at all while I'm on IE.
I'll change over to FF.
I was watching the programme coppers two weeks ago which was on the EDL protests where something similar to this was mensioned, Police were on the documentary saying that when an incident occurs between an officer and a protester, rarely will the case go to court unless the police know they can win for certain.
Some ridiculous stuff the officers said on there, one guy got hit by an officer for simply sitting down. Another example was how they are arresting someone for swearing at an officer... yet the officer making the arrest is stood there calling the man an "effing this and effing that".
One Officer - unbelievable "I can do what I want, if I feel I can justify it"
I have a stinking cold at the moment - I think it is affecting my brain
OH is making an extra hot curry tonight to sweat it out of me hopefully...
No they're far from it I agree however whenever something like this happens people automatically jump to the defence of the civiliian when in reality we do not know what happened. We do know that protests got out of hand last week and this person was a part of that protest and so far we have only heard from his mother who is obvioully biased.
You imply that most students on EMA just get sozzled on their ÂĢ30 a week and that most folk who are long term unemployed are there by choice... implication being that they are all layabouts, (my words not yours.) I really don't believe that to be true, yes there will be the odd ones who are, but they are not, imo, by any means, in the majority.
Like you, I always worked, (as did most of the folk in my position and as do most of the students I know now).... Half the time I didn't know whether I was pulling pints, serving pizzas and burgers, measuring someone's inside leg, working with kids, doing other voluntary work with young people or the elderly, studying, or god forbid, partying and getting off my head Oh and protesting and marching: CND; miner's etc. etc.....
I hadn't heard about that! I saw pics in the paper of peeps with blood running down their faces
