Student protest police forced to defend kettling tacticsPolice defended their use of containment tactics during the student protests in London on Wednesday, saying it was necessary to control the crowd after some people became violent towards police.Ch Insp Jane Connors, of Metropolitan Police, said ‘kettling’ had been put in place ‘as a last resort’, adding: ‘Police officers came under attack and we needed to make sure the violence didn’t spread out across the streets.’But James Welch, of Liberty, said: ‘Kettling is a very dangerous police tactic.'It traps people, spreads alarm and risks making a bad situation worse.’Protester Sophie Haywood, 16, said it was ‘disgusting’ the way demonstrators were treated by police, adding: ‘We don’t know how it got so violent.'It was all peaceful and then everything kicked off.’Of the people arrested, some had been responsible for damage to a police van seen in the middle of the demonstration.http://www.metro.co.uk/news/848332-student-protest-police-forced-to-defend-kettling-tactics

someone being an older student is nothing to sneer at imo.thirst for knowledge at any age is something to be praised.jus cos u dont have what it takes to go into further education dont laugh at those tht do (albeit at a old man age)

Those who put themselves through education at an older age are often far more dedicated and invested in their course because they have taken the time to strategise how furthering their education will benefit their lives and career. LOL @ believing that someone who goes into university as a mature student is somehow a loser.
