UK Students face riot police

Tuition is going up in England, and students react to the news. Generally speaking, this isn't really the way to get your point across. Passive resistance is usually much better. When you act so emotional and out of control, the message gets lost. Of course, I think the majority of these kids were simply looking for a reason to get violent and weren't really so concerned with the issue at hand.

This video shows a fire extinguisher dropped towards riot police from the roof of the building. It sounds as if the crowd of spectators on the ground begins to chant "Stop throwing sh**!"

Let them eat cheese

Well, maybe our country will take after Ireland's fine example, and try to resolve our economic troubles with cheese.

Brendan Smith, the agriculture minister for Ireland, announced that the Irish government is buying 53 tons of fresh Irish cheddar cheese to distribute for free. Mr. Smith said the plan is "an important means of contributing towards the well-being of the most deprived citizens in the [EU] community."

The Irish citizens are, not surprisingly, quite irate over this move by the government.

Big Brother has a new toy

The UK will be unleashing a new "tool" in law enforcement: a truck capable of catching motorists committing up to five crimes or breaches of law.

The truck can spot whether you are driving without your seat belt, tailgating, speeding, or driving without current tags or insurance. The information and pictures are relayed back to a home office using GPS coordinates.

Big Brother at its best.
