The vast majority of students at the college are decent, hard-working, model citizens. It is only a small minority of students that tend to cause trouble. Just as if you were to walk into a town centre on a Friday night, the majority of people are out to have a good night but, as always there is always a small minority of people that will cause trouble and start fights, many of these are generally older than any college student (16-19). <br />To label Orpington College as a "Scum magnet" is an utter disgrace, quoted fro only one person, whom happened to witness one event, that involved some Orpington college students. Orpington College has a very large catchment area which is why the college is so diverse, in turn behaviour from certain people will be as different, it is human nature after all. I have read through most of the comments on this page and am unsure whether people have got the facts straight, granted some students did behave appallingly,but the way the police behaved just exacerbated the situation and escalated the event, most of the story has been blown out of proportion and sides have already been taken. For example The police were very violent in conducting the way that the students were removed from the bus, one girl even had her head driven into the bus stop, by a male police officer; might I add. Many people do not acknowledge the positive effect that the College has on the local area, i.e. student volunteers help with disabled children on various projects, and many extra curricular activities are available that are greatly beneficial to the local area. All I ask is that you do not stereotype all students of the college and look at all sides of a story before you judge, after all everyone as a citizen of Britain is under the rule of law. (innocent until proven guilty and everyone is equal).

It even hinted that this was down to a particular ethnicity living there in large numbers! Very bold for the Beeb, but then again it was broadcast on an evening in midsummer, when most people would be out enjoying the long evenings. Is it still on BBC IPlayer by any chance ? I doubt it.<br /><br />BTW the 51 bus serving the college terminates at Woolwich at the London end. Dogwash's blog frequently provides illuminating updates from that particular 'interface area' (as they say across the water).<br />Also BTW, the commentator who surmises that the existence of these 'students' derives principally from Broon's wonderful £30 pw 'Education Maintenance Allowance', is spot on.Marknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5187043.post-46697225847723961072009-11-05T12:40:46.295+00:002009-11-05T12:40:46.295+00:00The joys of diversity
