In view of their past record were the police right to allow these thugs to march?
Take a look at the second picture, do we want such scenes on our streets, and are their actions any different from those of the militant Muslims?
Who is to say that a photo of students hanging a leading politician is any less serious than a group of Muslims burning an effigy of a leading politician?

What these (predominantly young) people seem unable to grasp is that going to university to get a degree is only really necessary for very specific careers. Getting a degree seems to have become the new holy grail for students. It's almost as if they have a collective delusion that the acquisition of a degree equates to a well paid, fulfilling career. This is utter nonsense and I feel slightly sorry for them that they have been sold this lemon of an idea.
What no one seems to have told them is this - there are very, very few careers that insist upon you having a degree in order for you to get a foot in the door.
I think the problem is that quite a lot of these students honestly consider the notion of starting on the bottom rung of the ladder and working their way up as anathema. It's symptomatic of the 'I want' generation that they genuinely think that society should reward them for what they consider to be hard work (ie. studying).

It's that same philosophy that causes young people to moan about house prices. They look at their parent's house (which has mostly likely taken them years and years of hard graft to acquire) and their parents careers and salaries and they want them. And they want them now.
They have been sold an utterly unrealistic expectation of life. That, fuelled with a lack of appreciation of what hard work really is (ie. decades of toil), leads to frustration which sometimes manifests itself as violence.
Freddy Mercury said it best, “I want it all. I want it all. And I want it now”. He forgot to add, “... and I don't see why I should have to pay for it. It's not fair...”.
