Notwithstanding many people do not wish to see tuition fees buggering up tomorrow's wage earners.. It is a bit difficult for popular opinion to side with any move that includes criminal action. Full stop. Most people in this country are decent if a wee bit gullible. So it is not easy for them to side with a protest when the images they see are of violence.

Mind you, as this thread is more to do with those who advocate non democratic answers to their beef versus those who do, as opposed to anything to do with poor ruddy students...

"You HAVE to be more politically aware in a day and age like this. It's IMPOSSIBLE to close your eyes to it." - John Lennon

No offence, but wow... "Day and age like this.."   You realise of course there are people say in Doncaster who are grandparents who were not even born when Lennon died? (Monday 8 December 1980 at 10..00pm local time, he says without even looking, and showing his age at the same time.)
