Students Battle Police in UK! Prince Charles and Camilla Attacked!

they ain't forgotten what happened in france, and they never will.. a rather staunch man called Cromwell made sure of that

what beggars belief in this situation is that they attacked prince charles.. who's Prince's Trust foundation has put more underpriveledged people into education and real employment than any other private organisation in this country.. he's one of the few "elite" who actually got off his arse and did something for those of diminutive circumstance

"know thy enemy" it ain't complicated :mickey:

 

no, he doesn't "have to do" anything. Charles could have quite happily drank and smoked himself to death like his eldest sister or buggered about for a decade trying to start his own television company (for personal profit) like his youngest brother... hell, he could even spend his evenings in parisian casinos with the real super-rich after his divorce, as his first wife did

but he didn't, he invested much of his own time into a foundation that helps those who need it... and if people like that deserve to be attacked in the street, people who try to do good despite the circumstances to which they are born and held accountable, we really are fooked

in the UK the education of "children" is already paid for, and compulsory up to the age of 16 .... personally i agree that the state should provide education up to and including degree level qualifications.. and for a little while it did, but those days of milk and honey are over and philanthropists like Charles are gonna be even more important, more important than they've been since the industrial revolution imo

it's very easy to burn the world and start again... if you have the right plan and know your enemy.... for people demanding an education, the students who attacked charles sure proved that they need one :mickey:

 

actually, the reality of that doesn't stand... my daughter is always having to find money for stuff that is essential at her daughters school in London... EVERYTHING is based on profit nowdays... for example... my daughter has to fork out £10 per week for a computer that is essential if the little one wants to keep up... she also used to be involved in the PTA and fundraising for basic stuff... the school actually stole the money... when she asked, "but where is the £700 we made at the fete?", the response was "what £700?" education is a fucking joke! the majority of teachers don't even deserve to be called professionals... they have issues and often take it out on the children they are supposed to be setting an example to... that's my experience of recent education for the under 16's anyway...

 

The Students are the only group within the UK who are aggressively resisting government spending cuts! And as such, they should be applauded for doing so! They get no help from the 'fence-sitters' within the Labour Opposition and can no longer trust in their traditional supporters within the Lib Dems! The Tories are shooting themselves in the foot, because they are alienating themselves from the vast majority of their constituents! Students and society at large shouldn't be penalised for the mistakes of the banking elite! They caused this chaos and they should pay for it... That's only common sense!

 

totally agree with you there, yet the bankers continue to get huge bonuses... it is like they are laughing all the way to the bank... i wish i knew of a way to get EVERYONE out there... i would certainly join such a movement, even if it meant losing my life... what kind of world are we leaving for our descendants?

 

Update - millionaire's son riots because he wants the government to pay for his university degree.

 

He's protesting for his "brothers" and "sisters", obviously.

 

yes, i can feel revolution coming too... it seems inevitable... people have really had enough!

 

Yah, the royal family are just a bunch of over-privileged free loaders. They should overthrow them and make all citizens the new royalty.

i would hate to be a royal... i don't think Charles will ever be King... he is now a disposable asset... i wonder if he realises that yet?

 

Wouldn't that be cool if it were true? But really... this was just a nice protest that turned into a mob. I don't think that is indicative of any coming revolution.

Let me say I think it's great the students are being active, and a tripling of tuition costs is absolutely staggering, but still, revolution? No, I really don't think so.

 

^^^ nice protest? people are fuming! and even more angry now they have seen how they are "handled" by the police authorities and "managed" by the mainstream media... the truth is laid bare for all with eyes to see... oh, there'll be a revolution alright... it is already happening in the minds and hearts of people... it is apparent in what people are talking about now, and what they are doing...

 

This revolution of hearts and minds has been in full swing since the earliest tribes developed hierarchy, and is no closer now to fruition now than it ever has been or ever will be.

 

and how would you differentiate this new royalty from the common man?

 

not so sure... more people seem to be aware of the crap that goes on... the lies and downright corruption... 30 years ago, noone i knew thought like that... admittedly, i think youth of today has been caught up in the material consumerist thing, but they do seem to be much better informed than my siblings... i was aware, on an intuitional level, but unfortunately, i also thought i was mad and felt pretty disempowered as a young person...

youth of today don't seem so disempowered... and with this recent Wikileaks thing and the internet etc, i'm not so sure that nothing is going to change... everything changes... cycles begin and they end at a new beginning... it's the way of things...

 

'when the chips are down, clubs are trump.'

Unfortunately, the state will always win. Democracy is entrenched globally, and though the internet is a sufficient tool for lobbyism, the fact of the matter is

if the government doesn't like it, it does have the power to point blank stop it. Democracy and Capitalism are entwined so exquisitely, when one falters it brings down the other- which ever way around you look at it.

There will never be an era without authority. And anyways, if there was it would be just as bad- the difference between what I consider free rights and another person does is infinite.

It's an interesting website, but it's a hinderance for both government and society. The people swinging it's relational power all over the place sounds like little more than hypocrisy, considering its' all retaliation towards an abusive political system, does it not? The shame is violence is the only way anyone can get anywhere, these days.

This is just a critical argument. I don't confess to giving my own view point.
