This mask march thingy going on looks so idiotic.

Is this all because of the V for Vendetta Movie (would say Graphic Novel but let's face only a small amount there would have read it).

Seems like typical Hipster, wanna be Liberal's lot thinking they are like a character in a film.

They all start voting Tory once the graduate and get a real life with real problems.
 
Always feel for the police in these situations.

Protestors seem to forget how hard they have been hit by the cuts.

Never understood the Guy Fawkes love correct me if I'm wrong but all he wanted to do is bring in a catholic government, not bring down capitalism.

Cutting benefits, cutting tax credits, public sector pay freezes, "living wage" only applying to over 25s, selling off social housing, dismantling the NHS... the Tories want to dig their way out of the deficit on the backs of young adults and the poorest. Why would any recent graduate with any sense of what is going on vote for them?

The Guy Fawkes masks are a bit cringy though.
 
Because most graduate types don't get benefits, tax credits,social housing and most get private healthcare once they become whatever it is they become and all of a sudden they start paying the higher tax band and then the socialist ideals they had disappeared...Oh and how did we get in a deficit?
 
What? your now just talking flat out nonsense do you actually know how much you have to earn to be on the higher bracket? £42,385 the average pay of a graduate is 25k(I got 22 8 years ago). You don't instantly get a 17k a year pay rise we've gone through an equal among of no pay rise as everyone else during the recession.

Plus virtually every graduate(ranging from late 50's to mid-20s) I know still has the same political views they did back then just tend to be less militant about it. Reality is few change and it in grains at a early age.
 
I can tell you're not a recent graduate!

47% of recent graduates (graduated in the last 5 years) are in non-graduate jobs and 9% are unemployed. (http://www.theguardian.com/business/2013/nov/19/half-recent-uk-graduates-stuck-jobs-ons)

Of the rest, I bet a chunk are somewhere in the public sector. A lot will be in the NHS, and not many people in the NHS are happy with the current government...

Truth is, the job market is different now. There isn't enough high-skilled work to go around, and increasing number of recent graduates end up using their degree simply to get ahead of the non-graduates when applying for non-graduate jobs.

And graduate job or not, young graduates are then at an age where they consider having children, and cutting child tax credits therefore affects young graduates.

So no, the Tories don't help the young, at all.

I don't talk nonsense. Graduates start at 25k none graduate start on the minimum wage. The career progression of graduates who have some sense about them will result in a higher tax bracket job before they are 30 so don't give me the bleeding hearts crap
 
Not exactly a million people.

Few hundreds maybe by looks of it.

Just seems pointless, doing it at night in crappy masks.

I get really fed up with people having a go at the cops in these situations compared to how the cops in the majority of other countries handles protests we have it easy.

******** unless they are in very specific profession like law even then it's a push by 30.
