I suspect the ones who committed the violence were agent provocateurs. We've had such people at various protests in the States. CES

I have no sympathy with them - many an American family would be thrilled to only be paying L9,000 a year for college instead of the $50,000 which is becoming the norm here. We really can't compare - in the '30s the Oxford Union debated "Resolved, we will not fight for King and Country", but they did anyway. They also didn't riot and destroy property. I work with the local Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps and those young men and women are the finest our country has ever produced (I'm just glad I don't have to compete with them). These young rioting thugs are, I sincerely believe, a minority. And they'd better hope there's enough of those outstanding young men and women such as are in the AFROTC around to protect them if push ever really comes to shove.

It made me remember my own UK visit--where I photographed both the Cenotaph and Mr Churchill's statue. It's left me heartbroken too.
