I'm sure that alcohol has nothing to do with it
BBC Documentary Sparks Student Protest
Hundreds of university students took to the streets of Belfast last night to demonstrate against a BBC documentary that accused them of anti-social behaviour.
Around 400 students gathered in the Holylands area of Belfast following the 10.30pm screening of the Spotlight documentary, which showed students urinating in doorways and being noisy at night, and highlighted tensions between students and residents.
Five years ago, during a trip to Ireland with my then-significant other and her family, I spent a couple of days in Belfast. Others in the travel party who slept less soundly than I assert that one morning around 4 or 5, our lodging was treated to a sodden rendition of "Rhinestone Cowboy" by students returning from a night on the town. If true, this incident alone is cause for Ken Burns-length documentation.
