The London riots and the attack on Prince Charles

(4) Members of the British Police were critically injured.

I have a live feed from London, so I can watch this live.

The riot is about the raise in student tuition in Great Britain.

They broke out the window in Prince Charles’s car, kicked his automobile and splattered white paint on the trunk.

They smashed windows at Government buildings in downtown London.

I couldn't believe that British Horses are also helping the British Police.

What do you think about this?

I havent seen much on this but I do believe in Education and I also belive that the English are not very good at demonstrating. They prefer to accept what the Gov feed them rather than oppose it. Its all our futures cheers

Justifiably so. I'd be a bit pissed too if I found out I was going to be paying for my education for the rest of my life.

Order has to be restored....Horses & dogs are better than billyclubs, tear gas & rubber bullets.

From what I understand, the Queen signs off on everything (as a formality)

Yes, but that's a formality. She rarely opposes Parliament (the will of the people, supposedly). Just as our Governer-General (the Queen's representative)does. Merely rubber-stamping legislation.

I'm glad they're protesting - it's about time.

I have seen the negative effects these ridiculous tuition fees have on students first hand. How are they supposed to concentrate on getting an education when debts and sheer survival are the biggest concerns? frustrated

That's exactly how they phrased it here on the news.
