However much one may agree with the right of students to protest against the rise in tuition fees - and we must protect the rights to freedom of speech - there is no way anyone can condone an attack on the car carrying the heir to the throne and his wife.
A window of the vehicle carrying Prince Charles and Camilla was smashed and paint thrown was thrown at the car as the royal couple made their way to the London Palladium to see the Royal Variety Performance.
Clarence House later said the royal couple were safe and attended the performance as scheduled.
What on earth has the royal couple got to do with tuition fees?
Sadly, this demonstrates the propensity for violence of large groups (mobs?), and the likely scenario that some of the protestors were bent on causing trouble from the outset, and probably couldn't care less about tuition fees or student debt, but just want to stir up trouble for the coalition government. Smashing up shops in Oxford Street is hardly going to bring them sympathy, is it?
If there is any group who should "ConDem"ned it is these worthless troublemakers.
