Actualy I have an innate dislike of busy places and crowds. I'd hate to be in the middle of a march.

It was purely to give all the socialist scum who were voted out only a few years earlier the chance to try and de-rail the tories attempts to change the country.
That particular demo/riot was just populated by rent a thug students and other tax dodgers who were shipped in from all over the country on the promise of 10 B&H and a large bottle of cider.
2/ Many of the protesters were tax paying families who were being hit with a large increase in their tax.
3/ Phasing out the University grant, having a council bill but no house, not exactly setting the young up to prosper was it?
You are showing yourself to be a bit of a tit who uses wikipedia to research events that happened while he was in his nappy. So maybe best you shouldn't say anymore. Oh too late you got all the milk snatcher stuff wrong too.

But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

At the end of the day someone is always paying for others who don't pay - poll tax is fair, and maybe it was introduced without staging but the concept is hell a lot of fairer than current council tax, which I must say at very high levels.Comment

It makes the utmost sense for society to bear the costs of educating the young, because everybody benefits from a well educated populace and everybody suffers by it's absence. It's myopic to consider only the benefit to the individuals concerned.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment
