    Ah Bless them !

    Its a tribute to our dear Democracy that they are allowed to protest - naturally in a few years time they will be too busy working to pay of the mortgage and the childrens school fees to indulge in such frippery.

    For it is written ...

    "The slothful hand has brought about poverty, but the hand of the industrious man prepares riches" [Proverbs 10:4];

    I'm not sure that I ever implied that it wasn't (although Deomocracy is a loose term - so arguably there will be degrees).

    FTFY.

    A bit like the trotskyite Che Guervara lovers on £200k running unions?

    we will need to shoot some known gangster first, so they have a cause. Maybe shoot their dealer they will riot if they can't buy coke with Daddy's money.

    Most of the young people you see on those type of demonstrations are from privileged backgrounds. Less privileged young people are too busy going about their lives and aren't interested in politics like that.

    The ones who riot are from all backgrounds and this wasn't a riot.

    When you haven't set out from the world of mum & dad, they expect the state to provide handouts like their parents have done. Once the cold light of realization kicks in, they'll kick and scream for a bit, before eventually realizing that under a Tory Government you'll have to get a job and pay your way. Then as they get older, have kids, get married, get settled, they'll realize that if you want something you have to work for it.

    Of course, if you get a Labour government for a while, then you get a whole generation who thinks that they're entitled to free handouts.

    Another 5 years is going to be one massive ******* shock for a lot of people. Brilliant.

    The working class will vote and then get back to work, regardless of who has won.
    ^ Absolutely this.
