Police training to deal with riots

300 police are currently in the middle of a two day riot training excercise at RAF/USAF Fairford. Interesting timing. Report from the BBC today, unfortunately it came too late to get over there for any pics or footage of what they're doing whilst dressed up as students being 'dealt with' by their colleagues:

they can train

They can train as much as they want, it doesn't stop the fact that these cuts affect the officers and their families and they should be given the chance to wake up and to realise what they are being used for.
I'm not sure even the MET will be too happy about their kids never being able to go to university.

maybe they will send them to uni to do subjects like Law,any science or maths appled or otherwise.

As these are not covered by the cuts, cos' we need people with these skills.....

I would love to feel some sympathy for the poor trustifarians but I have had to work in shitty jobs for a damb sight longer hours than most so that I could keep a roof over my head.

They all shout about class stuggle and the working class as if they have a clue about it, to be working class you have to WORK and have a bit of CLASS

Haven't you heard of squatting? Crawl back to your boss with your tail between your legs.

What is going on.

Cuts only affect dependent livestock.
If you are un-dependent, anti-dependent or independent, they won't affect you, you are not cattle belonging to the farm. You are wildlife!
The cuts are not real. No significant reduction of government financial control is taking place.
Fodder is being consolidated on the most compliant animals in the farm, like the pigs (or dogs used to help in herding the cattle)
Fodder is being redirected away from elderly and non productive cattle, who serve no useful purpose to the farmers.
Small farms are being dissolved and consolidated into larger more efficient units.
These changes must take place otherwise the farm system will break down, and return to nature.

So, you mean: if you are rich then?
Yes, if you are financially independent then great. But, mr-smug-pants, most of us arnt so theres no need to rub our faces in it mr-i'm-alright-jack.

I depend on handouts. If i don't get those handouts then I will starve or freeze to death.
I'm dependent on the workers going to work and the state for taxing them, so that they will provide me food and shelter.

Without these, I would be wildlife and I would die.
