Wow:
Students protesting against rising university fees in the UK smashed windows at Millbank Tower, the home of the ruling Conservative Party, in central London on Wednesday, Sky News reported.
Protesters faced off with police outside Millbank Tower, hurling missiles at officers and lighting a fire at the base of the tower block HQ of the Conservative Party.
Several demonstrators smashed their way into the lobby of the building but were forced back by cops and security guards.
The protesters stormed the building with minimal opposition from the police, who responded quickly by sending in reinforcements. Police blamed the violence on a minority of “troublemakers,” but had not made any arrests. …
Eyewitnesses said protesters were throwing rocks, cooking pots and pans at police, were setting off fireworks and continued to fuel the fire with placards.
About 30,000 students from towns and cities across the UK traveled to central London for the rally, which was organized by the National Union of Students (NUS: 31.01 ,-0.42 ,-1.34%) and the University and College Union (UCU).
The protesters want to persuade the UK government to back down on plans to allow universities to charge tuition fees of up to £9,000 ($14,500) each year from 2012.
I bolded the above sections to point out Union involvement. I guess Beck is probably right, that at some point this will probably happen here too, especially if and when we get a President as tough as Christie, who starts fighting the Unions.
