Students clashing with riot police, while just across the road, the government was defending its plan to raise university tuition fees. Concrete blocks, placards and snooker balls were hurled at police on horseback. Windows of government buildings were smashed. Statues, including that of Winston Churchill were vandalised. A giant Christmas tree in Trafalgar Square was set on fire, and a car on which Prince Charles and his wife Camilla were passengers came under attack.

"Prince Charles's car, they were smashing bottles on it, but he remained very calm. He was beaming - absolutely beaming, and Camilla was smiling as well. They were trying to calm people down, and he was just trying to have a chat with them through the window as well, really."

Some paint was thrown on the car and a window was broken, but the royal couple were unhurt. London's Police Chief Sir Paul Stephenson denounced those responsible for the unrest.

"I think anybody who's been watching the pictures of the violence today will just want to condemn it. Any right-minded individual, including peaceful protestors who want to make a point, will condemn what has happened today. And frankly, that is just an excuse that people are hiding behind and it's not acceptable."

伦敦又经历了动乱暴力的一天。学生们正在和防暴警察激烈地冲突，然而此时就在马路的另一边，政府却在为提高大学学费的议案做辩解。水泥砖块、标语牌以及台球都纷纷投向马背上的警察，政府大楼的玻璃被砸碎，包括丘吉尔在内的几座雕像被破坏，特拉法尔加广场的一颗巨型圣诞树被放火，就连查尔斯王子和王妃卡米拉的座驾也遭遇袭击。

“他们用酒瓶砸车，但查尔斯王子依然非常镇静。他笑容满面，确实笑容满面，卡米拉也是面带微笑。他们竭力让人们冷静下来，查尔斯王子还试图通过窗户和人们交谈。”

车身被泼了油漆，一个车窗被砸碎，但是查尔斯夫妇毫发未伤。伦敦警察局长保罗o斯蒂芬森公开谴责那些挑起暴乱的人。

“我想任何看过今天的暴乱画面的人都会谴责暴力。任何有理智的人，包括那些以和平方式表明立场的游行者在内，都会谴责今天发生的事件。坦白的说，这就是人们用以藏身的借口，这是不能容忍的。”
