The thing that bugs me most about riots (not just those involving students)
is the mass idiocy behind them. The government makes a decision, you and your mates don't like it, so you organise a march, or to duff up the windows at Footlocker. Presumably the hope is that David Cameron shits himself at this and changes the decision you and your mates don't like. And then what? There are plenty of other governmental decisions being made that people don't like, and if one gets reversed because of rioting, it will only encourage more riots.

I thought university students were meant to be clever?

There speaks a man who doesn't have to interview these cretins.

This precise instance is why I dropped out of my journalism degree

Because you weren't clever?

I thought you were being harrassed by Mandingo, your lecturer?
