I am so proud of these girls:

One in particular, as is the Presses way, has been singled out to 'speak' for the story. Thankfully, Zoe Williams seems to be quite able to express herself intelligently and make the point that many of us feel viz that attacking the police and destroying public property does not increase the chances of getting your points heard.

Maybe in France ... not here!

Note: Please bear in mind that the Telegraph is a Tory Rag, hence the characterisation of all the protestors as 'Anarchists'.

No one follows Maggie these days, she's long been retired. The Tories have their share of hooligans too, usually though they belong to posh dining clubs at posh unis.

What's a unis?
