Protesters angered by proposals to increase university tuition fees have brought violence and chaos to the streets once again.

Tens of thousands of students were joined by lecturers and parents during a national day of action against the controversial changes.

Organisers said the marches, occupations and sit-ins were an opportunity for protesters to make their voices heard peacefully. But 17 people were treated for injuries sustained during the protests.Thirteen of them required hospital treatment, including two police officers.

At least 32 people were arrested in connection with the protests as barriers were thrown and fires lit in the street. The clashes centred around a stranded police van that was ransacked and looted a short distance from the entrance to Downing Street.

caught a bit of the demonstrations on the TV this morning, clearly some are out just to cause violence as they covered their faces so they couldn't be recognized, its those individuals that are ruining the so called peaceful demonstration for the majority which is why they'll never be taken serious by the power that be.

They are not helping their cause, plus any arrested may as well not go to uni anyway as they are unlikely to walk into the job they want with a criminal record.
