Update on the extinguisher guy:
Telegraph (yes, I know) reports that he's a 17 year old from Hampshire who's now out on bail. Looking at the picture, he doesn't look like the same one from the well-circulated photo. The good news is that his charge has been downgraded to violent disorder. He also entered no plea in court.
Lets hope he has a good lawyer

The comments section on that article depresses me greatly.
Although I actually quite like the article itself. It's quite basic, but not a bad introduction to anyone reading with an open mind (as few as they may be). Never thought I'd see something like that in the Guardian.
Sorry. Just giving an opinion. No serious, incisive political commentary intended, just an offhand opinion.
Jesus christ.
Anyone here going along to the General Student Assembly on the 28th?
It could be just a talking shop, but is the first time I've heard of a full-on 'democratic assembly' proposed as part of the current student movement.

wouldn't have thought he would need one really - if it is his first offence and he is under 18 he will just get a referral order

He has a good lawyer, Matt Foot, Paul Foot's son.
A referral order(whatever that is) for violent disorder which carries a maximum sentence of 5 years, for what will be seen as a political act, really?

apologies, I had read that he was 17. As he is over 18 this is much more serious
The fourth in a series looking at and debunking specific 'tactical voting' strategies and election narratives from an anti-electoral perspective.
A short history of an anarchist meeting place in Germany, and its varied history since 1920: farmer's shelter, anarcho-syndicalist centre, and police training centre!
