Prince Charles had his car attacked

Student riots erupted in London today in some of the worst political violence in years, as student protesters, “rained sticks and rocks on riot police, vandalized government buildings and attacked a car carrying Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla, after lawmakers approved a controversial hike in university tuition fees.” The Daily Mail says…

This was the terrifying moment that a mob of anarchists attacked Prince Charles and Camilla’s car outside the London Palladium tonight.
The couple were due to attend the Royal Variety Performance, which was taking place very close to the epicentre of a day of violent protest in Parliament Square
Protesters had thrown paintbombs at police throughout a day of protests and the burgundy 1977 Rolls Royce Phantom VI was hit by an explosion of white paint on Prince Charles’s side of the car. A window was smashed, two rear panels were dented and the aerial was broken.

It’s not clear if Prince Charles was actually the target or if his car was attacked blindly, but what is clear is that some hippie is about to get his ass kicked. “Faarr out, mmannn, Im’a throw paint on this car! I’ll show them!”
