Here he was heard to shout:"'Let them eat cake', they said. "We won't eat cake, we'll eat fire and ice and destruction because we're angry, we're f****** angry."


Can't £700M buy a sponge cake or two? This recession is getting way out of hand

He issued an apology the day after the demonstrations, describing the incident at the Cenotaph as a "moment of idiocy", and added that he did not realise the Whitehall monument commemorated Britain's war dead.

His climbing the Cenotaph wasn't a real problem, the unforgivable sin for him and education in general is him not knowing he was climbing
a memorial to the people who died so he could be free to be a privileged ungratful ignorant fucking tosser.

Ironic how some (perhaps more) of the students protesting don't have to worry about money. I suppose the rest don't attend because they can't afford the transport costs to get them there or can't take time out from their part-time jobs to go there.

Also ironic how the parents don't turn up to protest about the fees. I guess they, like their kids, are working their fingers to the bone, trying to scrimp and save to help put Mary Jane or little Johnny thru college.

It's the fact that children aren't taught the true meaning of the Cenotaph that disturbs me more than fees or politics or the right of protest.
All these things are possible because of the sacrifice of those memorialised....it does not stand for a General or Leader it stands for us,
it stands for the beautiful brave youth cut down to ensure the peace and freedom of generations unknown,
it's terrible presence reminding us to pause before we add new inscriptions.
The dead have sacrificed their future for the present we borrow from our children........never forget.

He's reading history at Cambridge, he fucking knew what it meant. Cunts like him spoiled the protests of those students who will struggle with the fees, it was a whizz-bang day out with the oiks, and this privileged little prick hanging off the flag at the Cenotaph is the enduring image of the protest.

Charlie boy is as much a revolutionary as the Archbishop of Canterbury, looking forward to hearing stories of yardies hanging out the back of him in stir, but I suspect he'll get similar status privileges inside to those he enjoys outside

Gaol is notorious for being packed to the brim with people who care not a whit for convention and privilege.

he's a dumbfuck. but it's totally understandable why students would be protesting fees. the shit universities tack on just to make a couple bucks is ridiculous. getting just as out of hand as hospitals here in the US.
when they ask how you feeling
you tell em you feeling like something important died screaming
you tell em you feeling like something even more important arrived breathing
something you should probably try feeding
