[Closed] Student Protest photos

wrightyson, this is how it works. Push people too far, they push back. Don't like it ? - stop pushing.

I've spent a long time having my doubts about young folk in this country. This weekend has restored my faith.

I'm sure there are a few layabout troublemakers Wrighty. the vast majority are trying to make a point, cos they are pissed off, which they are allowed to do. Cos that's the kinda stupid country you and I are fortunate enough to live in. I'm not sure why the cops aren't helping to protect their legal rights though?

I'd not say they're trouble makers. I quite fancy kicking the shit out of stuff at Call Me Dave's expense. About time someone stood up to him.

That photo looks like a film, not something from real life.

I like feeling militant from my sofa.

Good strategy. They'd never get to kettle 1500 people and their furniture.

Ok I'd like to repeatedly keep them back using my baton and shield in the correct manner as within the guidelines of the police handbook training manual etc. Oh and trail, I wonder what percentage of the fighters were genuine students?

The riot squads are not there to talk they are they to bludgeon to stop whatever escalating. They are fighting fire with fire.

Yes, they are some troublemakers (think it might be the green turban brigade) there to vent whatever anger they have.

This photo's brilliant. If only the students were french... then the actual building would be on fire.

Can you sign up for a student bashing / riot police day experience with Red Letter days? Beats driving a Lotus around Silverstone....

Not sure, but I wouldn't worry. Those that missed out this time will no doubt have plenty of reason to vent their displeasure over the next four years.

I have no idea what this means. Can anyone explain?

'Green Turban Brigade'? 😕

"Where you off to Jim?"
"Just off for a nice XC ride at Glentress"

Was on BBC news just now ... showing a group of green turban (more like green hoodies)wearing people attacking the police. Yes, a group of people wearing green "turban" but I doubt they were Sikhs.

I have no idea what this means. Can anyone explain?

The poster was chewkw, do you expect to understand ?

I have always worked on the assumption that anything chewkw posts isn't suppose to make sense. Or am I the only one who doesn't understand his inevitable "the Dear Leader steps on you, you maggot" posts ? 😕

hee hee! I'm on a particularly uncomfortable office chair. can you get that kit on CRC?

edit: the invincible copper armour not the green turban. why would I want a green turban for cycling?

'Green Turban Brigade'?

Militant Seikh Environmentalists.

EDIT: I think maybe I spelled "Sikh" incorrectly. Massive racist I am.

"Jim, who do you think will win the Xfactor tonight ... ?"
"I think I love his hairstyle ..."

Elfinsafety & ernie_lynch,

Not sure what BBC was trying to imply but they kept showing the bits where all the green turban started attacking the police, so perhaps BBC was trying to imply that there were not students but some militants ...

😆

Ernie; someone's asking about sash windows. I've said you're the mayn to help!

What, box/sliding sash windows ? What do they want a hand with, forcing one open ? Can't you help them ?

Well using the term "Green Turban Brigade" sounds like a classic bit of racist ecophobia ......... you should be ashamed of yourself 😐

D'oh! Just realised "Green ... " are generally associated with the eco warriors. No they are definitely not eco warriors. They are just bunch of people wearing green hoodies. 😐

Well a turban is very different from a hoodie, isn't it?

Have you been drinking Chewkw? 🙂

classic racist ecophobic green [s]turban[/s] hoodie brigade - coming to overtake a demonstration near YOU!

Chewk, I can type some drunken bollucks on here, but that takes some beating.

Or you can call them maggots. 😆

actually, I Don't like maggots, should've just called students maggots in the first place. then I'd be, "yeah, squish the, stupid mini-worms, you're not even a proper worm shaped worm. get a job you useless non-legged pointless banner waving etc..."

He can too! As can I, occasionally... 😳

I don't like maggots. Nasty little baby flies. Feeding off rotting flesh, just waiting to turn into a fly and then poo in yer food. KILL THEM! KILL THEM TO DEATH WITH DEATH!
