I'm all for accessible education but this was just retarded.
According to PZ Myers this is what all of these shenanigans were about.
Some pointers.
Don't alienate people who might otherwise support you.
Don't picket an event held by a bunch of people who have nothing to do with the grievances you are expressing.
Don't act like twats in front of an audience of atheists without expecting to have the ever-loving piss taken out of you, brutally.

The cause for the chaos was peculiar to me: they were protesting AC Grayling's proposed new university, which would have an £18,000 tuition, twice what other universities charge. It seems silly to demonstrate over Richard Dawkins, who has only agreed to lecture there, or AC Grayling, who just wants a good education in the liberal arts for students, or the university itself, when the real cause of the problem is declining political support for a cheap education.
