'Ladies and gentlemen, the insurrection has begun'

That's how London students filled with content Sky News coverage of the events, what caused their reporter to lose her temper and show herself as a fool and as an ideological agent and not the neutral journalist she should be. But well, it makes for a good headline.

Don't mess with the students, this is probably the lesson today's European leaders could take from De Gaulle's retreat to Baden-Baden in 1968. It may seem long ago but it's them, the young bold ones who have everything to lose and everything to win in any such struggle and, instinctively, they know it. 

And they are the ones who take to the streets most often in situations like what we are living now, with bankers and their political minions trying to get the working class to pay for their crisis. 

Before I get to the facts, I want to say something else: capitalists are in charge of production only for as long as they can deliver in terms of jobs and quality of life. Now they obviously cannot do that anymore, so it's unavoidable that they are removed. You may say they have not been elected but it doesn't matter because nobody can rule against the social consensus for long, unless massively supported from outside. And the consensus is broken now. 

The facts are that the new British Tory government is trying to impose draconian budgetary cuts that mostly affect the popular classes and not the big fish. No news here as it seems to be the new doctrine of the ruling class across EU.

But people is not the least happy about it. Last month it was France, now it is Britain. 

Students in London, protesting against tripling university costs, have decided that peaceful protests are not enough and have attacked the offices of the Conservative Party in London and occupied them. 

Suddenly the offices of the Capitalist tyranny have become the provisional headquarter of the European revolution. Bonfires surround the building, while at least two policemen are reported injured in the riots that include many thousands through the city of the Thames. 

Why all this? Let the young ones explain themselves:

My parents are both public sector workers. My dad will lose his pension next year and my mum will lose her job and this will just put them in bankruptcy.

My sister is 15, I doubt she will go away to university because it is so expensive.

Politicians don't seem to care. They should be taking money from people who earn seven-figure salaries, not from students who don't have any money.
