Maybe politicians should learn to tell the truth for a change, even if it's not going to sway voters with election fever. Too long have successive generations of electorate listened to the forked tongue of popularist power mongers, only to be laughed at once a new government is voted in.
I think for the students it's slightly less about the actual fees system and more about the lies and broken election pledges; For the first time their idealism has been exposed for the blatant electioneering sham that it is and they are angry about it. I would be too if I cast my vote based on what any of these career politicians had to offer.
As for the royals... well, it was kinda naive of them to have such a high profile given what was happening in london at the time, surely all the money they have could pay for minders with a little common sense?
None of the royal persons were hurt, but I'd wager they have more of an insight into the plight of the common man now than they did a week ago hahaha - Heloooooo?! britain is fast becoming intolerant of fat, over privileged ticks.
I'm not anti monarchy, but really! They ought to know better.
EDIT:
Fact is, the media (yet again) have made a mahoosive song and dance about the 'rioting students' and how terrible it all is, but students today are much less demonstrative and anti establishment than they were back in the 70's - these days they only bother making a fuss if it's something that effects them directly. Plus there's a lot more students than there used to be back then - it's not what it could be if you believe the media hype.
