Zetec Sam, couldnt agree more to be honest.
The only people to blame for the violence are the protestors. I think 80% of them who turned up, only wanted to have a go at the Police as they know the Police wont hit them back due to political rubbish.
I think that the Police are finally getting cheesed off with the Policing of these events as they feel it is being done too softly softly. There are rumours that Public order officers are thinking of handing in their tickets so they dont incriminate themselves for doing their job.
As for defacing Churchill, Climbing the flag on the Cenotaph or even trying to set for to the Xmas tree, what do they have to do with fee's going up.
Personally I have lost all Sympathy for the students. I think they should pay back even more to pay for the Policing, Damage which a select number have caused.
