Traditionally students do society events on Wednesday afternoons. I played rugby at Uni so was a member of the Sports Soc, it seems that the Violent Protest Soc have converged on Millbank to light some fires, smash some windows and undermine their own argument.
Nick Clegg and the Lib Dems are also getting some stick because they campaigned on a promise to oppose the increase in tuition fees that the students are protesting about, a promise that they are now unable to fulfill. As Lib Dem MP Martin Horwood pointed out, coalition government means that both parties have to compromise, neither the Conservatives nor the Lib Dems are able to fully make good on their pre-election pledges.
Funny then that the Lib Dems are still pushing for a voting system that would lead to almost perpetual hung parliaments and coalition governments. As I have written before different election systems have advantages and disadvantages, and if you want MPs to stick to their pre-election promises you need to have a political system in place which doesn't give them an automatic get out of jail card.

1) These ‘students’ now expect me, a taxpayer, to fund their time at University? I don’t think so.
2) A few well placed, live rounds would have stopped the ‘protest’ in it’s tracks.
3) Not a single word of condemnation from any Labour politician. Tells you all you need to know.
Talk about Karma. Boris's Commissioner is a totally inept fool and Boris is now reaping the rewards of sacking the previous Commissioner and appointing this unsuitable puppet.
The Commissioner should be sacked immediately. Failure to do this will reflect badly on Boris and he will be held to account by the voters.
I travelled in by train with a few of these students, and noticed that almost to a man (or woman) they had the latest smart phones. I can suggest an instant way they can put a dent in that cost of living rise they are all anticipating..... any guesses?
I bet they all have internet access too, another saving they could implement (did you get your degree by copying stuff from the internet James?, didn't think so!)
I have to back to Rattler One Seven's comment. Are you really suggesting that the students are shot?
