You know… for kids

Posted on December 11, 2010 by

A collection of some of the best pictures from the student protests.

Click for bigger versions.

You need to see this one (above) full size.

"This taxi fare's going to be HOW much?"

Only anarchists are pretty.

Orders: above all, prevent any HMRC operatives gaining access.

Limited-edition HP Sauce bottle.

"Careful, lads. I heard one of them had a stick."

Ultimate cage fighting.

"We were proceeding down the street in an orderly manner, whereupon we saw a wasp on the victim's person and attempted to dislodge it for his safety."

Guy Fawkes looks down from Heaven and smiles.

Paintball's coming home.

Socialist Horse refuses to attack.

I like to think he'd have approved, even as he sent the tanks in.

"He's not going to sell much ice cream in that state. Arsenal!"

A policy we can all vote for.

"Dave! Come over here and hit this one again, he's still going!"

"Let me through, I've got a very important message to deliver to the Prime Minister from Johnny Marr."

"You put your left leg in, and you shake it all about."

"It was totally worth all the hassle of carrying this on the Tube."

The war on terror.

Kudos to @alisdairwalker for finding some of these.

    Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Sir Paul Stephenson says "The officers who were protecting the Royal Highnesses showed very real restraint. Some of those officers were armed"
    Yeah. They managed to resist the temptation to hold down a student and shoot him 7 times in the face.
    Commissioner resign.

    This one's my favourite- This is one of my best friends and the caption fails to mention that it was a police baton which injured her.

    Damn it, picture 10 keeps reminding me of  EDF.  Any chance of photoshopping some giant Ants into it.

    Slideshow to "You Are The Generation That Bought More Shoes And You Get What You Deserve" is required, I think.

    Oh my. That girl was behind the railings of Westminster Abbey; I confess I spent a good few minutes gazing agape at her until some horses came between us.
