2 months of Tory government and we have riots again...... I understand the countrys problems but amazingly rich people telling us to tighten our belts is never going to go down well.....
Yawn... so, the country's bankrupt after the Labour party leaves office. Ever get the feeling of deja vu?
Bring it on I say... they like our vote but don't listen.
Its about time people stood up for what they think is right. We are very good in this country at moaning and whinging when we dont like something, but
people rarely get off their @rse and do something about it!
I dont agree with the riots, but peaceful protest never hurt.
The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other peoples money to spend....
The French, although i dont agree with the tactics, brought there country tumbling down a couple of weeks ago
buy picketing/mild rioting, im not sure if they achieved anything, but it caused chaos

We're paying for what Maggie did many years ago when she sold of the nations assets. No car industry, no airline, all gas and electric is private or foriegn, no british rail etc. All seemed good at the time, but look at us now.

I live in France and these strikes never effected anybody around where I am, and the French just sent in the troops to end them.

... and what about our gold reserves? Broon flogged them!
Yep, another time when I wish I had some spare cash. Look how much th estuff was sold for, and what it would fetch today. Probably enough to keep the

Peaceful protest is a right of common law, it has a place in any democracy. No questions....
Bombarding, Assaulting , throwing Piss on on Police officers and wanton destruction has no place in any democracy.
To those who waved placards and the lawful want of students , then well done you acheived your purpose.
To the scum masked up, throwing fire extingushers off the 8th floor, who are not students, dont work, take benefits, and dont pay tax, Living in a
squat...
You tainted decent kids making a political point. What a bunch of tw@ts.
Please feel free to call on me at any point, I will happily punch you all over my front garden.
Only in this half arsed country will you see cops standing taking shite, like only rentamob can hurl...
It will not happen anywhere else, I am disgusted at what Ive seen on the press this evening.
Please dont excuse any of those conducting themselves like that, anarchy is not funny nor is it lawful protest.
bloody students...
the govermant only raised the cap on what the unis can charge students, its the unis that increased the fees 
besides, labour screwed the country, thats why these lot got in, because we didn't trust labour. its always the same. labour screw everything up,
they get voted out, tory come in, nobody likes it because they're the bad guys that have to put taxes up to try and fix the country, people
don't like it so labour get voted back in to screw it up again. hmmm

We have too many students and offer too many useless degree courses.

It is going to be all part of the "public risk, private profit" modus operandi that "Conservative" governments are so good at. Not
just where you live. You have to ask whose friends are going to profit from all this.
Re. M. Thatcher's days: why could the government not have brought those affected industries up to modern standards? Why give it away to foreign
interests? I for one, rode Brit Rail quite a bit at one time, and I can say it worked well.

Your country will survive this, as it survived a lot of other issues over time. The government can do the necessary cuts without gutting the forests etc. IF it plans properly and doesn't panic.
