Royal car attacked in protest after MPs' fee vote

University Funding

A car containing Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall has been attacked amid violence after MPs voted to raise university tuition fees in England.
A window was cracked and their car hit by paint, but the couple were unharmed.
In angry scenes, protesters battled with police in Parliament Square. Hundreds were contained on Westminster Bridge for a time by officers.
Police say 12 officers and 43 protesters have been injured, while 22 arrests were made.
Prime Minister David Cameron said it was "shocking and regrettable" that protesters had attacked the prince's car.
Clarence House said the royal couple were safe and attended the Royal Variety performance as scheduled.
Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson said there would be a "very serious and very detailed investigation" into the disturbances, in which 10 police officers have been injured.
The vote will mean fees will almost treble to £9,000 a year. The government's majority was cut by three-quarters to 21 in a backbench rebellion. Three ministerial aides resigned.
Only 28 Lib Dem MPs - less than half - voted for the government's plans for tuition fees. Six Conservative MPs voted against.
Violent scenes There were angry clashes as protesters - some throwing missiles - fought to break through police lines.
Riot police had to force back protesters who were smashing windows of the Treasury and the Supreme Court.

Ben Brown: 'It's been quite a battleground'

Earlier, protesters had largely taken over Parliament Square and pressed against lines of police in front of the Houses of Parliament.
Mounted police were used to control crowds, at one point charging a group of protesters, as thousands of demonstrators protested outside the Houses of Parliament.
Other reported actions taken by the protesters include:

Setting the Christmas tree in Trafalgar Square alight
Smashing windows at shops in Oxford Street
Vandalising statues in Parliament Square, including that of Winston Churchill
A sit-in by about 150 students at the National Gallery

Superintendent Julia Pendry said officers had come under sustained attack and condemned "acts of wanton vandalism, wanton violence" by protesters.

How the vote went

28 Lib Dem MPs voted yes
21 Lib Dem MPs voted no
8 Lib Dem MPs either abstained or were absent
6 Conservative MPs voted no
2 Conservative MPs abstained

In violent scenes earlier, the BBC's Mark Georgiou said there had been injuries to both police and protesters near to Westminster Abbey.
The Metropolitan Police said there were attacks using "flares, sticks, snooker balls and paint balls".
Home Secretary Theresa May said she "utterly condemned" the violence.
"What we are seeing in London tonight, the wanton vandalism, smashing of windows, has nothing to do with peaceful protest," she said.
"I have spoken to Paul Stephenson, the Met Commissioner, and he has updated me on the appalling levels of violence seen today.
"Attacks on police officers and property show that some of the protesters have no respect for London or its citizens."

Theresa May condemns the "appalling levels of violence"

Students from around the UK gathered in London for a day of protests and a rally - with police expecting about 20,000 demonstrators.
The coalition government faced its first major backbench rebellion in the vote.
The BBC's Ben Brown, outside Parliament, said protesters shouted "shame on you" as news of the result filtered out to the crowd.
The package of measures will see fees rising to an upper limit of £9,000 per year - with requirements for universities to protect access for poorer students if they charge more than £6,000 per year.

the prince & his horse: why didn't the students tip over the car? would have been fucking hilarious. that prick's expense account (him, his whole family and all those fucking castles) could probably pay for a fuckload of student's fees.

oi oi

hey, I say let em have their castles and stop wasting so much money on war(s) and we can all just break even on this matter

Keeping It Simple · 12.11.2010, 08:46 AM

Why should the public subsidise what students spend most of their money on? We're talking drugs, booze, hookers and, of course, std clinic costs.

As they should, but that's despite the point.

But yes, I agree. Sort of.

I think you've missed the irony in his statement, given that he listed things that are all taxed to the hilt or, in the case of GUM clinics, paid for by the public.

I've used the NHS maybe three times in my adult life - why should I pay for old ladies who've broken their hips?

ann ashtray · 12.11.2010, 09:05 AM

Why should you, Glice?

Glice · 12.11.2010, 09:11 AM

Because, American, there are some things that are necessities for the well-being of the populace. Health is one, education another. And until you have socialised healthcare you are not a modern democracy, you're a despotic hell-hole.

kinn · 12.11.2010, 09:16 AM

The reason we have to pay for peoples education is - get this - so we can have things like doctors and nurses and teachers and an educated, well skilled and intelligent populace. Things that are vital to the prosperity of all of us.

Of course you selfish idiots can only see the world in terms of short term self interest. Yapping on about what your taxes should and shouldn't have to pay for. Determined to stand in negative solidarity with every other poor person. So you can entertain some isolationist fantasy of self sufficiency? Or just so you can whine about anyone else who gets anything to make yourself feel momentarily better about the fact that you can't get everything you want. Who knows, who cares. You just sound like children screaming "Mommy! it's not fair! he got a free chocolate bar! I want one! It's not fair! If i don't get a free one then he can't get ANY! Noone should be able to get anything unless I can get it too!". You will settle for the satisfaction of seeing noone get anything if you can't get something. You think this is some sort of virtue. Please keep quiet. we are all sick of your voices. The only problem is that you can vote. Shame that.

Genteel Death · 12.11.2010, 09:21 AM

Why should I pay taxes for families with spastic kids? I don't understand.

knox · 12.11.2010, 09:25 AM

the republican who likes the stooges.

then if nobody is supposed to get anything, why pay taxes at all?
as I have to do it, IT BETTER BE to provide education and health for everyone - or what else?

kinn · 12.11.2010, 09:25 AM

Why should I pay taxes when I don't want to pay taxes? If nobody paid taxes, we would just build roads as we needed to. I could drive along in my car as a team of poor people laid tarmac in front of me. I would be able to pay them because I'd be rich. Because I wouldn't have to pay any taxes.
