Properly sickens me.

Well, for one thing speak for yourself, for another this is nothing new.

There have been distasteful elements of society for as long as there has been society, during the darkest days of WW2 when freedom was actually threatened from outside (rather than by "our" own government under the pretence of non-threats), there were British nazis. When the threat was Russia, there were British communists aiming to create an oppressive Britain (most of those are now still in the labour party ).

I'd bet money that when the French revolution was going on there were anti-royalists here who would have liked to see the same thing happen here.


I would agree that it is rather unwise to attack a car protected by armed guards with paint. Though to be honest attacking any car innocently driving past in the street should have attached to it a strong chance of getting shot!

Not that the US should really be used as a good example, but imagine the scene had this happened over there with the trigger happy.
Regents street would have been like a river of student soup.

And if the royal protection officers had actually drawn their weapons they would have been criticised for over reacting.

No matter what happened here the police would have done wrong. (The first riot they weren't prepared, the latest they over reacted).

Had someone got shot there would have been cries of "so a royal life is more important that a students?".

It wasn't a set-up and you can't shut down the whole of London just because a few idiots are 'protesting' half a mile away.

If a protester had been shot I'd have seen it as the officer concerned doing the job he has been trained and is paid to do. I'm pretty gutted none of the protesters were shot and killed because launching an attack like that on the car was life threatening and those officers are deployed to protect the lives of the Royals in that car.

It shouldn't have to come down to a Royal being killed before action can be taken. Clearly the attackers were not friendly and were shouting slogans like "off with their heads" and suchlike while trying to smash windows - in those circumstances the Police should be allowed to pre-empt a strike and move in to take out the attackers and keep them out with whatever force or weapons are required.

Which they obviously managed to do without resorting to mowing people down with automatic weapons in a crowded street.

Throwing paint would be a bit of a small crime to get shot for, but whoever threw the brick or whatever I could understand if they were shot in the process of doing it, who was to know it was not a grenade or something.

I don't see why you would be gutted someone was not killed. There was nothing to be gained from it, every chance that it would have led to a massively increased mob effect and more violence, then or soon after. Plus the very likely chance that a stray round or one going straight through would take out some other poor bugger who was just walking down the street.

No way would they open fire unless it was absolutely clear that someone was about to kill the occupants.They would not have had a clear target with no one else in the line of fire.A far more likely outcome in those circumstances would be someone getting run over by the car or its escort as it sped away.
Still a very dodgy situation which should never have been allowed to develop.There will be some red faces at the Met.

Shot them all, that's what I say.

At the very least, anyone arrested and found guilty of a disorder offence should be immediately banned from ever entering any university, no matter what the charge or the sentence.

Seems like it was a close call for Camila, as one of the protesters managed to poke her with a stick, as stupidly she'd opened her window.

Imagine if it had been a spear, things could have been very different.

Head of Royal protection squad will be moved on to save face at the Met.

I see at least two faces reflected in that there glass, find them AND SHOOT THEM DOWN!!!


Slight overreaction or no?


Also, Charles appears to have has literal laser surgery, he's blatantly trying to sort the hooligans out by his own powers of destruction
