I do feel sorry for the police stuck in the middle of it, particularly given the fact that they're protecting a system which is effectively broken, and like the crowds were chanting at the cops yesterday "You're next."

Cameron must be rubbing his hands in glee, his proposal has gotten through (just) and the person who is taking the most flak for it is Clegg.
Clegg, by not showing a bit of backbone, has basically put the Lib Dems back into the stone ages. The one major chance they had to prove themselves and they're blown it big time.

My vote will be going to the Monster Raving Loony Party next time I think, they're about the only ones who know what they're doing.

Anyway, people in the media saying about the "anarchy, riots, destruction", have pretty darn short memories, it was only about ten years ago we were watching this on television:



The police have certainly improved tactics since then, and I dare say casualties have been reduced too.
Ah yes, the poll tax riots....and a smashing time was had by all
