I'd say smashing up someone's private property is about 75% wrong, but then some people sometimes have it coming. As for certain company property, in the right circumstances it can be the right thing to do.

Did anyone ever find Leicester's flags?

I don't approve of some of the protesters actions no, the same way I don't approve of football hooliganism and being tarred with the same brush as a few who misbehave. Remember how society felt about footie fans in the 80's.

It's lazy, it avoids the real issues at hand, and it makes it very easy to dismiss when your media is hell-bent on giving the coverage it does.

Same with the student protests. Easy to then go "dirty unwashed c***s" and move on. The police's actions and tactics are never taken in to account.

They don't even hide it and actually call it kettling. What happens to the contents of a kettle?

I thought they were supposed to be 'pro democracy' but you'd be excused for not knowing what their point is when they don't have a clue.

Reading the website I really struggle to make sense of it. It seems to surround revolt and upsetting the system I can only presume for the sake of anarchy's as there's no reference to a better system.

It really annoys me when everyone has their own justification for behaving like a cnut and cumulatively manage to legitimise it on the grounds of everything the government has done from Iraq to 'raping' dead pigs. Then you've got the alleged police cover-ups of 70s abuse making them fair game too.

This seems to be the format for most protests going back to the 2011 riots. Any excuse. I'd guess the end goal is to undermine the police further by provoking a heavy-handed response. This obviously mobilises more protesters and validates any ideas of oppression.

The media seems to be another focus but that goes back to anti capitalism and Murdoch owning x% of outlets. It's ironic that we've never had more choice of source than we've had now.

There's too much self righteous bulls*** where hating anyone with money or power is seen as honourable. Most the time it's about as senseless as blaming immigrants for everything.

Quite appalling.

There is most certainly an element to that for sure and I can certainly understand the perception that there are those who are just looking to be angry and cause trouble, because it's true.

But there are also those who see things like Goldman Sach's "advising" the government to sell the Post Office for half its value; then buying 50% of the stock and selling for double the price less than a week later. That's insider trading, there is no getting away from that. The definition of pillaging and an absolute disgrace, it should have been on of the biggest scandals of the year. Absolutely nothing. So on the other side of the coin, I can see why the elite rich have no credibility with these groups.
