Students revolted with fee increases splattered Prince Charles' Rolls Royce with paint and cracked one of their windows. Neither Prime minister nor the Metropolitan police is sure how students managed to breach their security system and they state that they rely on the police to do their job and cannot understand why they have chosen that route.
In order to protect their 22 royal family members the Metropolitan police spend around £50m per year and such an incident is inadmissible. They should have used a different car, one that people cannot see its occupants from outside and a vehicle that will draw less attention.
This raises a lot of questions, such as how really protected is the royalty?
This horrible attack is due to the fact that parliament voted to increase university students fee, protests are seen all over England, most say the poor will suffer the most and will not be able to cope with the higher fees imposed by the government.
Most people there disagree with the government increasing students fees and say this is not the way to reduce their deficit, but Ms Coughlan says they have gone as far as they could to avoid this increase and protect the education services.
Tuition fees will increase from £3,290 a year to up to £9,000, this will take place next September and the government claims that by 2014 they will have declined the education budget by 3%, whereas the education spending should increase by 2%.
Hopefully these attacks will stop soon and Prince Charles nor Camilla will have to hide in their garage in order to be protected.

Pacific Palisades is a very affluent area, primarily residential with a mixture of large homes and condominiums. It it a well known area as home to many Hollywood celebrities.
It is located between Brentwood, Malibu, Topanga, Santa Monica and Santa Monica Bay and Mountains, with about 27,000 residents.
The Chamber of Commerce is responsible for many events that take place there around 4th of July, they sponsor 5k, 10k runs and a parade down Sunset Boulevard, not to mention their beautiful firework display which is held at the Palisades High School football field and their exciting hiking trails and parklands also attract people from all over the country.
Pacific Palisades was venue for German and Austrian writers and actors, like Lion Feuchtwanger, Thomas Mann, Oskar homaka, Emil Ludwig and Vicki Baum. For many years they ban drinking alcohol there and the only place with a liquor license was a Chinese Restaurant, House of Lee's. What is now the Temescal Gateway Park was once a conference center owned by the Presbyterian Church there.
They are famous for their famous areas: The Alphabet Streets, The Bluffs, Castellammare, Huntington Palisades, Marques Knolls, The Riviera, The Village, all worth paying a visit.
They used to have two newspapers back in 1970 when they decided to merge and become one, The Palisades Post and The Palisadian became one, The Palisadian-Post, unlike most local weekly newspaper on the westside, this one is subscription-based only. Roberta Donahue and Bill Bruns bought the newspaper from the old owners, the Browns back in 1980's.
Their multimillion-dollar houses still impressive, with their immense gardens, garage that accommodates more than four cars, no wonder why many movie stars still consider this area one of the best Cities to live in California.
Their exquisite garage doors hide some of the most expensive cars in the world.

This will be the second time Brazil will host the international football tournament, and it will be the 20th FIFA World Cup, the tournament there will take place in june and july 2014. Brazil hosted it for the first time back in 1950, and it is the fifth country to have hosted it twice, along with France, Germany, Italy, Mexico. It has been over 3 decades since the last time a World Cup was hosted in South America, the last one was in 1978 hosted in Argentina.
Although Brazil has won the world cup 5 times, 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994 and 2002, it is not clear that they are ready to host the tournament in 2014, especially in Rio, where it has been on the news quite often recently because of drug gangs from one of the biggest shantytown complex there. The head of Rio state's military police, Mario Sergio Duarte says that they won the drug war, they already brought freedom to alemao's residents.
This drug war has been going on for years, and every now and then it gets out of control, and the police has to intervene in order to protect its residents and the 6 million people that live in Rio.
The gangs protest against severe police program by burning vehicles, which has become a hallmark sign for the gangs, about 600 armed gang members still trapped inside and authorities sent more than 1,000 policeman and soldiers to storm the complex stating that invasion was inevitable, once the gang members are not willing to give themselves up.
Whoever is going to Brazil for the World Cup must wonder if this people from the shantytown have at least a garage to hide in, and if their garage door can protect them from the lost bullets out there.
We hope that the new president there Dilma Rousseff, being the first female president of South America, will ensure a peaceful environment for thousands of tourists going to Rio in 2014.
Meanwhile we can only hope this drug war ends soon and they do not damage all their garage doors out there.

One of the most popular and profitable Farmers Market in California is fighting to survive after a clashing with L.A Film School. Hollywood Farmers Market has been servicing the community for more than 20 years and has become a major contributor for Hollywood culture and economy. It is also said to be one of the busiest and most profitable Farmers Market in California, they have around 10,000 customers on Sundays.
L.A. Film School claims that one of their garage entrances is being blocked and they demand them out of there immediately, they say their student body has increased and they need their entrance clear on Sundays.
The decision will take place on Monday, whether the famous Farmers Market will be shut down or not because of a parking dispute is already making a lot of residents who buy fresh fruit and other goodies there very upset.
We do understand that parking there on Sundays has become a problem, since the Market increases the number of shoppers every week, but there must be another solution for this, maybe residents there could open their garage door and allow shoppers to park in their garage for a few hours, maybe they could rent their space.
It is a very profitable bazaar and many people make a living out of there, if they close it more than 150 vendors will be displaced and they will lose their Sunday income of more than $130,000.
With the recession and so many problems we are already facing couldn't the L.A. Film School and the City Council find an amicable solution for it? We will soon find out on Monday.
Since 1991 the market has been in the heart of Hollywood and only recently parking there became an issue.
You cannot simply move a market like that, it would be like moving the annual Christmas parade off Hollywood boulevard.
A lot of people will suffer with this decision, there are other seven smaller Farmers' Markets that are supported by the Hollywood Farmers' market that could easily be closed, areas like: East Hollywood, Echo Park, Atwater Village, Crenshaw and Watts.
How can we help? In case you live around this area and consider the Market part of your life, maybe you can get together with other residents and come out with a parking solution, renting your garage space for a few hours on a Sunday would help, you could leave your garage door open for a few hours with a sign saying $3 dollars fixed rate for Farmers' Market shoppers.
The market takes place from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m and it is part of Hollywood's attraction.
