I still think that many kids went to the protest on Thursday because it was an opportunity to cause trouble – in fact I’m quite sure of it. I’m also sure that a few were totally uninterested in the politics of it all. However, they were in the minority. I found the violence abhorrent, and the atmosphere bloody scary, yet the fact is that what happened on Thursday was the result of something. It happened as a reaction to what was happening in parliament. The thugs may have used it as an excuse to wreak havoc and mayhem, yet that excuse was given to them by what was happening in the House of Commons. Most people there were only interested in peaceful protest, and, like myself, fled when it started to turn, yet even they seemed revolted by what the proposed cuts. What we saw on Thursday, and what we saw on three previous occasions, was a response to what the government is doing. Responsibility must ultimately lie with David CaMoron and his joke of a government for trying to impose these cuts. Even if we place the hooligans aside what we are seeing at these demonstrations is enormous anger at what the government is doing: on Thursday I could almost feel it in the air. If what we saw on Thursday, on previous occasions and the protests yet to come is anything to go by, the people of this country do not want CaMoron’s government in power.
