You’re right, but on a different note how long will it be before we see some copycat incidents of pupil/student unrest in the UK ? 
 

Seeing it on the news, it seems inevitable that some bastard will think that looks a good way of expressing some sentiment or other.

Mindless violence - the French have always done this though, when they protest they really go for it.

And they have, by the way, a number of times. 2005 was a big year for burning historic public buildings for instance. I would suggest spending some time reading and learning about civil unrest in France.

Seems like your History knowledge is as patchy as your Economics.

Possibly, although some of ours have previous form for similar actions (thinking Croydon 2011);

Its true, my son's primary school asked parents for a small donation to help with stationery, etc. 

Bit pissed as surely that should be provided as a given, but couldn't be arsed to form a protest to smash up the school like the French do

The most we'd be able to muster is probably a snapped crayon.

At a push, some pink custard thrown over walls, or semolina smeared.
