Royal bashing - yawn.
Violence on TV - good viewing.
[i]It must have been an awful experience for Charles & Camilla last night, I do feel for them, and then to have one's car attacked beforehand, added insult to injury. [/i]
Very good. 🙂
I'm with the protestors and their rights to protest.
I'm against the muppets that turn it violent/damaging.
I don't think the police were even remotely close to getting guns out, that would have been a stupid thing to do and contrary to popular believe I don't think the majority of the police force or Royal protection chappies are that stupid.
even if the cars security had been comprimised (ie window completely broken) I doubt there'd have been much of a threat to their safety. There's a long way between smashing up a phone box and beating up some OAPs
watch the clips and read their lips....
Camilla: The peasants are revolting....
Charles: Obviously.........
kimbers...........are you that scruffy looking oik with the dreads ❓
Sorry, by sponging classes, do you mean the Royals or the students?
Tricky one that one ratty, specially as Prince Charles received all his university education completely free.........he didn't pay a single brass farthing in fees when he was a university student. What do reckon he meant ?

As opposed to Charlie Gilmour (pictured) son of Pink Floyds David Gilmour - estimated Net Worth $90 million
Do you really, really feel that I, on my massive bike industry wage, should pay the tuition fees for someone who's dad is worth ninety million 'king dollars? Do you think he cannot afford to go to University without public support!
Get this - I am paying for that fetid little turd to go to university!
So who do you think he meant ratty........members of the Royal Family who paid nothing for their university education, or students who will go on to pay taxes ?
As I said, it's a tricky one this one. What you reckon eh ?
kimbers...........are you that scruffy looking oik with the dreads
Can't compete on an intellectual level, so let's resort to personal insults. How very intelligent, eh? 🙄
Question: how many on here were actually at the demonstration yesterday? Hmm?
Thought not...
Eh Ernie? The royal family pay taxes too... in Fact Charlie paid over 3.5 million in income tax last year!
Get this - I am paying for that fetid little turd to go to university!
I'd hazard a guess that his dad has paid just a tad more tax than you have....
I thought this BBC story covers it well:

Really surprised SO14 slipped up. Have worked with them before (the Queen came to visit)and they are usually incredibly meticulous.
I'd agree with this quote:
"This is a very serious incident. It ranks amongst the most serious security breaches of the past decade."Some of the demonstrators yesterday were carrying petrol, specifically to use in arson attacks. If the can of paint had been a can of petrol, it would have been very different."
A bit old but this gives an interesting insight into their (SO14's)work and approach:
TBH whoever was in charge of "close protection" for those two needs to be sacked.
Isn't that how Elfinomics is supposed to work Elfin, progressive taxation and all that 😉
Why should my tax pay for a millionaires son to go to university, I doubt my kids will be able to afford to? what's fair about that?
fred, i did not realise i had just insulted anyone.
i was just asking if kimbers was the scruffy looking oik with dreads.
bit like someone asking me 'are you the fat bloke with grey hair'
no insult, just a question
scruffy moi?

Ton, behave yerself. You do yourself no favours.
EDIT: When you look as elegant and refined as Kimbers, then come back and we'll talk.
He's done you, [i]right[/i] up!
kimbers......do you feel i insulted you?
if you do i apologise
Charlie paid over 3.5 million in income tax last year!
Gosh, he must have put in a few hours of work a week, to end up paying that sort of tax.
But then maybe not......

Still, he's happy, that's the main thing........

<swear filter>me!! that's some amount of tax for a public sector employee. What exactly is it he does and how do I get a job like that?

thanks fred dont worry im not scared by ton
well not from behind the safety of my keyboard

[i]just a quick q..........why were some of the rioters students wearing masks/hoodies/scarves to hide their faces??[/i]
Because their would be a cctv van recording everything, police officers with video cameras the police helicopter videoing not to mention the street cctv and all this video will be analysed and some of those students might be getting a police visit next year and being arrested.
just a quick q..........why were some of the rioters students wearing masks/hoodies/scarves to hide their faces??
To protect their faces from cold burn, what else...
Thing I don't get is how people like Ton are moaning about the protesters? You're always saying you'd rip someones arm off if they owe you £10 for a pushbike part, but the kid's shouldn't get narky if their future's threatened?
I blame their elders, bad example they're setting, innit.
Why should my tax pay for a millionaires son to go to university, I doubt my kids will be able to afford to? what's fair about that?
The irony.
Still not had an answer to this:
Question: how many on here were actually at the demonstration yesterday? Hmm?
Funny that, eh?
If students are tax dodging scum then why do they pay VAT?
Anyone know if there is VAT on tuition fees?

Blast. Beaten to the punchline.
To answer the OP - "seconds", apparently. Due to some brave "student" poking at her through the window with a stick.
This is why the royal family needs the old Prince Harry back- he'd have been down the front, off his face, throwing rocks at the police. Gor bless him
Thing I don't get is how people like Ton are moaning about the protesters?
Because people like Ton, Woppit etc live in little bubbles from which they seldom venture outside, and think the World revolves around them, without realising they themselves, like all of us, are insignificant little specks of dust, in the general scheme of things...
Narrow minds; narrow views.
Attack a member of the royal family and face the consequences. That is a big line to cross, as if fighting riot police wasnt.
if that was anyones parents or grandparents they would be jumping of the sofa wanting to go and give the offenders a kicking.
Wonder if Harry will be out and about in an Apache tonight.
Don't be so silly. 🙄
fred..........or is it because we are good law abiding people who know right from wrong?
or is it because we dont jump on every bandwagon looking for something to support?
Is there an actual breakdown of how the reforms compare with the rest of europe amd how it will actually effect future students?
university education has become devalued and the system needs to change. I can think of plenty who go because they cant think of anything better to do or want to get trashed for a year or 2 before dropping out.
The unis themselves are huge inefficient organisations and also need to be sorted out, maybe this will happen if the paying customers started to protest on the campus.
"ivantate - Member

Is it? They're just people. Attack a cop, attack a protestor, attack a royal, attack a random person in the street, all the same thing.
or is it because we are good law abiding people who know right from wrong?
😆
Ha ha! Very good Ton; very good!
They're just people.
some people are more equal than others though aren't they?
smithers release the hounds, so whos going to pay for the damage thats been caused by the students , i would like to see the students union get the bill.
What, the NUS who led a peaceful protest and spoke out against the violence? Yeah, seems reasonable 😆

As opposed to "Fred/Elfin" who spends his time desperately running about trying to find people who will let him join in, because he's never found love and is basically, very lonely.
Anyway, a mouthy young gobshite poking at a helpless pensioner trapped in car with a stick, because he can't be bothered to get off his arse and sort his own life out without being fed taxpayer's money deserves a good public spanking. What a scrote.
