UK Higher Education, Fees, Riots and Royals

I want to begin this post by stating that I am a free market type chap. I believe in personal freedoms, so please no "commie" or "socialist" lash outs, I am neither. I also wish to state that I will never condone the violent actions of some student protestors in the UK as they give voice to their feelings of outrage over increases in fees (tuition for those reading in the USA). Today was a day of protests, like many before, that ended with a can of paint being thrown at the car carrying the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall. I doubt that much of the violence was orchestrated by students, rather I fear others had a hand in this (perhaps someone from a DIY chain decided to “launch” a new product)
