To think that just because it was a student protest, it doesn't follow that the violent thugs in masks were students?

Four of the people arrested were arrested for burglary -surely it is obvious that they were there for their own agenda? And took advantage of the students protesting as cover for their own actions?

They were wearing masks. Clearly didn't want to be identified. Peaceful student protestors were not.

The people attacking the royal car weren't yelling about student fees, neither the people that tried to break into the treasury.

There are no figures yet for how many of those arrested were actually students.

So before everyone jumps on the charge students more if they're going to vandalise things bandwagon. Can we have some acknowledgment of the fact that we've got no idea how many students were even involved.

Yeah, there was a looooot of booze going round yesterday. Could have got drunk from the fumes alone!

Riven - according to the times he's just completed his second year at Girton College, Cambridge.

And I don't think "Oh I was caught up in the emotion of the day" is a particularly good excuse for anything.

Smile is that how conspiracy theories start?
