“Because a workforce that has advanced education is good for the country.” I won’t go into the debate that many degree courses require no greater intellect than a couple of good ‘A’ Levels may have done 25 years ago. In the UK no more than about 10% of jobs require the jobholder to be educated to degree level. This figure is gradually declining as the...

My word for that we are in accordance.Baseball caps are not suitable protective headwear in a potential disorderly situation. It looks un professional and makes them vulnrable to injury whereby they are rendered in effective in cotrolling a mob of immature anarchists intent on damage and general mayhem.
It is a mere fop. Look everybody we are the nice guys .Look we are not even wearing protective headgear to wind you up.Look you can see us lounging about in Starbucks with our hands in our pockets.
Watch the highlight of the year every August. You can see plod making a fool of himself by donating his helmet to a dusky maiden in the Carnival all in the aid of PC.
It is about time they were allowed to get serious and sort out the rubbish that permeates this county.

Not for the first time (and almost certainly not for the last) I am 100% with retro.
Although policing ideally should be by consent, that does not mean that police officers should be everybody’s mates. The Notting Hill Carnival epitomises the ridiculous notion that police officers must be seen to take part in the events they are policing. Most of the public expects the police to be professional and robust. Fannying about with women dressed in feather clad bikinis is not professional. They are there to prevent law breaking and if the people do not like police officers patrolling their events robustly they should consider relocating them elsewhere, perhaps to the Caribbean (which would be much to the relief of many residents of West London).
As I recall, professional agitator Blair Peach died after being struck during a demonstration in the run up to the 1979 General election. Any death is tragic but I recall that particular fracas turned extremely violent and a number of police officers were injured. I hold a particularly strong view about demonstrations and other events held in the street. Basically my view is that streets are to enable people to get about. They are not places for mass demonstrations or carnivals, especially those that require a large police presence to ensure order is kept. Regrettably I take the view that people taking part in such events run the risk of getting injured as they often end in violence. As retro says, as educated as some protesters believe themselves to be, it seems they have difficulty learning.

//And water cannon on a few students is rather overkill especially as they have a right to demonstrate.//
No one is disputing a right to protest. It is how the protesters deport them selves whilst doing so which decides what appropriate action should be taken by those who are charged with keeping the Queen's peace and public order. I note very little police presence at the Royal Marines protest.

Interesting to see that the Shadow chancellor John McDonnell went along to address the protesters, accusing the Government of 'betraying' students.
Is he not aware that it was the Labour Government that introduced tuition fees in the first place? I wonder how McDonnell would balance the books after making it free for anyone who decided to go to university?
