I predict a riot !

Used this title (copyright Kaiser Chiefs) because the events of yesterday were so predictable. First the good news, over 50,000 students came to London to protest against the imposition of ftuition fees of up to £9,000. Fees that would effectively deter many from entering higher education. Fees that will undoubtedly see the introduction of a two tier university system in Britain. Now however agreeed for the march to make its way down Millbank past Conservative HQ must have been demented. A small number when you look at the size of the demonstration, went on the rampage, but allowing them close tpo Tory HQ was like showing a red rag to a bull. As someone who doesn't condone violence to people, I'm less worried about property, its easy to see the media's response which sadlt deflects attention away from the cause. However I'm left wondering whether the same number of column inches would have been devoted to a peaceful march and rally.

Away from politics a great away win for the Dons at Altringham on Tuesday night and Arsenal away at Wolves on Wednesday. After last weekend performances it was good to see some goals and the resulting points.
