Why I choose to be part of the student protests...

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Yeah. I remember one anti-nazi demo I went on where there was a sizeable fascist counter-demo. The filth were virtually joining in on their side. It did not end well :urff:

:eek: ... like we had it in Germany with the Stuttgart21 protests ...
kids and elderly people get hit and injured by over-motivated police forces.

Seems European governments nowadays learn a lot more from globalisation
than only how to globalise markets to the best profit of their economies.
They also sneakingly adapt third world standards of means and measures to
implement their goals.

Another fall back to stupid.
At least, in the UK this does not take place under the notion of
(re-)inventing some so-called Christian cultural or national identity ...

You can't just blame the police for that though. Some of the protestors were trying to break through police lines and used these girls as shields, or at least that's how I read that article. I doubt if I was on the recieving end of missiles and having people screaming abuse in my face I'd be very "sympathetic"! No excuse for manhandling a teenage girl though. I'm not sure either side comes out of this with any great moral high ground. :|

I was in two minds about supporting the students, but having read this I've decided that they only way to get through to them is to re-establish the Special Patrol Group and take the fight to the enemy. Perhaps a few well-placed size-9s through the door will encourage them to get out of bed and go to the lectures that their parents and the tax-payer are underwriting, and stop them messing with dark forces of which they have little comprehension.

According to Beth Shiner, who has just completed a Masters in....art and politics. Pointless non-job as a "public arts officer" in local government beckons! :roll:

Not that she doesnt have a valid point, but I do think the amount of phony degrees needs sorting before fees are reduced/abolished.

1. to make phony wars governments need people with phony degrees ...
(you see I do not exactly believe in the superiority of degrees, basically,
but sad jokes aside ...)

2. every person should have the right to develop his/her talents and,
thus, be enabled to contribute to our all benefit what she/he has been given ...

3. instead of supporting only what companies might find useful to exploit
in the shortest run possible to the benefit of their shareholders

I think I can safely say without fear of contradiction on this board that the idea of me having children is a horrifying one!! The notion of being trapped in a house with someone as argumentative as me who I'm legally forbidden from bitchslapping makes me positively shudder.. :urff:

The Beeb is running scared of the Tories (I think they fear the dreaded "P" word) so they're trying to suck up.

Pathetic.

Have you noticed the Beeb are being a bit funny re: Assange, too? I saw that Humphrys interview. Maybe he was just bitter that Assange has managed more actual investigative journalim than the BBC has managed for decades. Or maybe you're right and they're just spinning the establishment line now.
I still say privatise it. We'll need that £140-odd quid to pay for the next gas/'leccy price rise.

Hmm. I'd rather the BBC stayed independent of commercial concerns. I don't want that cnut Murdoch anywhere near the Beeb.

I don't think he'll need to, thanks to Vince Cable trying to impress the ladies he's bound to get all of BSkyB now..

Heard about that; typical, the only bloke willing to officially say "F'ck off Murdoch" gets the boot.

Well, he's had the ministerial equivalent of all sharp objects removed, like Labour did when they realised John Prescott couldn't be trusted with the tying of his own shoelaces but had too many supporters to be ditched.

If Cable made the decision against Murdoch after what he is on record as saying, Murdoch would have a near unbeatable court case. In fact if any government minister goes against him in this he's got a good case because he'll claim it's politics and nothing else. All because Cable wanted to impress a few young ladies.
There's a reason the non-Murdoch press' coverage boils down to "You utter twadge, Cable!"

You're absolutely right, but it's a dirty way of doing business. Parliament is essentially defanging itself, and if the BBC rolls over and plays dead as well, what's going to stand in The Dirty Digger's way?
