Nothing Changes

Listening to the leftie students trying to justify the violence at their demonstration against the increase in tuition fees was like a walk down memory lane. Every time the Conservatives are in government it is always their policies, according to the left, which are to blame for violent demonstrations and not those thugs amongst the protesters with their own agenda who set out to damage to people and property. The leftie logic or excuse is that these thugs are not responsible for their own actions. If so then the thugs are all lunatics and should be dealt with as such. Why is it that when in opposition the Conservatives only protest by democratic means against measures brought in by Socialist governments? It is of course because Conservatives are true democrats and believe in the rule of law whilst many on the left are still believers in the communist - as we saw or heard from the pathetic mutterings of those representatives of the National Union of Students yesterday. By their language it seemed that they were condoning violence. One wonders whether they knew there was going to be violence in advance and even encouraged it. Will the new leader of the Unite Union be following where the students have led? His curious remarks about resistance could be construed that way. As Eisenhower said 'the price of freedom is eternal vigilance' and I trust the Coalition appreciate that. Many had thought that with the passing of the Communist regimes we could relax our guard against the extreme left but it seems the gene pool lives on. How disappointing.
