yea & when that happened remember what his family did? they blamed the protesters for causing his death, only after a video came out showing what really happened did their stance change, its the same story over & over, whatever the sun, mirror, daily mail, telegraph etc tell the public to believe 99% of people believe just that,
not sure how many people are aware of this but when karl marx & engels wrote the communist manifesto they were living in london & they genuinely believed that england would be the 1st country to become communist because the poor far outweighed the rich & that they were a educated people who could see the truth, how wrong they both were, it was in fact russia which was the most illiterate country on earth which 1st opened its eyes to the massive injustice, the uk's eyes remain closed to this day, not saying lenins version of communism is the right 1, but a system based on marx's writings surely must be better than what we have now, i mean look at how powerful russia became in a span of 50years, from the poorest country on earth it became the most powerful, 1st to put a satellite in space, 1st to put a man in space, this is a country which had a smaller population than the usa alone, let alone the rest of the europe & the world, it just shows what can be achieved when people work for their state instead of the very few elite bloodlines which run the world,

right im off now, got a meeting with scargill

Damn, that's cheap. I paid over $25,000 for a two year degree. My wife paid over $40,000 for the same degree.

Theyre just a bunch of fucking idiots. Sorry, but that is no way to get the student fee's down, by causing thousands of pounds of damage and putting lives at risk. Its just stupid as fuck!

Bit off topic but Engel's family mill was in my home town!

The fire extinguisher was apparently thrown at the police. I wouldn't be suprised if these so called "anarchists" that get involved with all the proplems at g20 meetings etc got involved with this.

yea i agree, even as an outsider that seems pretty counter productive. there were some riots in oakland last week apparently. people are pissed off these days.

Its getting to a case in the UK now were we'll just protest for the sake of it, its fucking ridiculous! When I was living in Liverpool, I was hit in the face with a megaphone by a bunch of people protesting against the BNP because they all decided to make a rush forward, and me being high as a kite got caught in the middle of it.

Someone teach them all a lesson eh?

Again, ill preface by saying i hate violence.
As for those g20 folks, maybe we should of listened to them 15 years ago when they told us what was happening with the "global economy".
I have no doubt, it is someones plan to raise tuition so we have less educated people in the world and to broaden then chasm between the poor and the rich.
We all need to take of our blinders maybe.
