TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

Highlights of the protest so far:

3 police offers "seriously injured", apparently.
The police say there has been "provoked violence" from the students (Freudian Slip?  Absolutely).
A rubbish tip has been set on fire on the Victoria Embankment
Riot police are allegedly moving into Parliament Square.  Mounted officers are already present.
Students are reporting indiscriminate police violence.

I'm shocked.

One Junior Lib Dem MP has resigned from the Government in protest.  However, 27+ defections are needed, plus the opposition parties to hold their nerve for it to be defeated.

7 arrests.

Police are whining on TV that because students deviated from the agreed upon route they now have to beat the buggers into submission.  Also apparently people have travelled to London for the purpose of committing violent disorder.  So we know why the riot police are there, at least.

Dalekk, under the old system you would've been paying £10,000 a year anyway.  And with the new restrictions on foreign students, your chances of getting in were not very likely, regardless of how this vote went (yes, the government restricted foreign students, who bring in more money than students from the UK, then said there wasn't enough money.  Too fucking funny).

Also, the students are on a rampage.  And by that, they mean a few threw some stones at riot police, you know, the ones with shields, did some rather shitty graffiti and smashed up a couple of phone boxes.  The police are keeping the press back while kicking the shit out of students.

Well done, protesters.

No one is talking about the austerity programs, and the 300% increase of tuition.

They're all talking about the shocking (shocking!) attack on Bonnie Prince Charles' car by a "spinter" protest group.

Luckily, Charles' security staff didn't open fire, and no one was hurt, or arrested.

Hey, wait a minute... if I wanted to distract the media from the main issues, I'd probably get a few undercover officers to set up a mock attack on an important figure...
