Last night could be the first of many of these riots now the Tories are back in number 10.
Leaving two police officers in hospital it sounds like they were out of control as one mindless idiot defaced the War memorial on the VE weekend as well!
TBH I have expected it during the last years of the Tories in office -
I'm thinking this will not be the last of these riots over the next years.
People will only tolerate so much.If the Tories make the cuts I have been hearing about - we are in for a lot of trouble in my opinion!

I think there is a bit of spin flying around that incident - it said the police had paper cups and biscuits thrown at them...

>> but defacing a war memorial is not the way to go.
Totally agree. They shoot themselves in the foot doing stupid things like that.
But I find it hard to comment on incidents like that, I'm not saying it was fabricated, but I've seen too much evidence of undercover police infiltrating groups like this in the past. For instance, the Met police gave best part of half a million pounds compensation in this case - http://bbc.in/1FX5Ok7 (http://bbc.in/1FX5Ok7)

As before thousands protest peacefully but the right wing media highlight any isolated incidents of trouble. Usually the only times protests get reported. It's the third of electorate that didn't vote who should hang their heads in shame

I dare say I'd sooner see the troublesome protesters fined than the non voters.
Or is that putting ideas into the Gov's mind ::)

It wasn't a riot, it was a noisy protest - the press labeled it a riot probably at the behest of the democratically elected bully boys.

I think Cameroon can loo forward to more noisy protests, when people are reduced to stealing food - it'd bad!
