Jesus Christ man... We have had successive governments implementing increasingly Draconian crackdowns on various forms of protests yet through that an increasingly radicalised reactionary fringe of people becoming determined to hit protesters with their car.

Labour would let arts, culture and learning in Wales crumble away to nothing so long as it saves a few pence. Not that it will.
The Minister knows full-well that the funding model for universities is totally broken. She and her Welsh Govt colleagues have the power to address this but are currently choosing not to - despite £1.2B+ a year of HigherEd related spending...

Just read that the WhatsApp group Andrew Gwynne was posting all his comments in had 44 members at its peak.
It's genuinely mental that an MP would be posting things like that in a group that big. What did he think would happen??
Shows how untouchable they think they are.
