Criminality disguised as protests

One wonders whether the revolting students and pseudo revolutionaries have realised that they have alienated themselves, not only from the general public, but big and small business as well, by their destructive behaviour.

Hardworking students, who want to get on with life, are studying under deplorable conditions of threats and intimidation, surrounded by massive security – completely unacceptable.

Parents of these students should start voicing their objections and displeasure. They are not receiving what they are paying for in deteriorating academic institutions. Our universities are definitely not “prestigious”.

The rabble-rousers know that they have our inept and indecisive government over a barrel, and are not going to accede to any government or university proposal. Their agenda has nothing to do with education, but “criminal violence and thuggery” and , of course, stupidity.

We have yet to see this criminal violence punished. All talk
