VBS News: Teenage Riot

On 24 November 2010, while students across England staged walkouts in protest to cuts in education funding, a few thousand in London attempted to march on Parliament. Unfortunately, since they destroyed the Tory headquarters two weeks ago, the police weren’t about to let them reach Parliament, so instead they kettled thousands of stoned, angry hippies and excited sixth formers into a small space and let them destroy that instead. The crowd were kept there for over nine hours.

VBS.tv were there to film it, check out the video here.

What an absolute farce!

One quote in particular stuck:

"What do you expect? They're a bunch of school kids."

How embarrassingly true that trashing a riot van is what you expect and accept from school kids.

It's a shame that no message was delivered from this except those who protested shouldn't be entitled to cheaper education in the first place. Maybe if they had gone to school in the first place, they wouldn't have acted so contemptuously.
