Most of the last 'demonstrations' i've seen here in London ended up with protesters smashing things up and giving the cops a hard time, and me struggling to figure out why.
People don't seem to realise when they are on a protest with lots of other people about things like middle class people's right to go to university and not have to pay for any of it for example, there really isn't any need to pretend they are an anarchist and its 1917 again, and McDonalds windows need smashing.
And yet that's what always happens. Water canons seem good to me

Students did their cause a lot of harm when one of the little fuckers chucked a fire extinguisher off the roof.

"Seen" or "Seen" ?
Some of the "best bits" of what happened were edited together and shown on the tellybox, but I don't believe what I saw there is what happened.
See my earlier comment on riots being "easily dismissable".

Hear hear.
Whilst I didn't enjoy watching all that scum nicking stuff and beating people up during the riots the other year, it was great to see them all get nicked and sent down.
