<p>David Cameron has demanded that tuition fee thugs face the &#8220;full force of the law&#8221; amid calls for an independent inquiry into the mob attack on the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall.</p>
<p>But the Prime Minister defended Scotland Yard&#8217;s handling of the situation, insisting there was no excuse for the &#8220;appalling&#8221; violence and vandalism.</p>
<p>The son of Pink Floyd frontman Dave Gilmour has apologised after being identified as one of those who climbed on the Cenotaph, the nation&#8217;s monument to its war dead, as thousands of youngsters vented their fury over MPs&#8217; decision to treble university fees to a maximum of £9,000 a year.</p>
<p>Police have so far arrested 33 people as a result of the disorder in central London that left dozens of officers and protesters injured. The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) has launched a probe into one incident which left 20-year-old student Alfie Meadows requiring brain surgery after allegedly being hit with a truncheon.</p>
<p>Mr Cameron warned that it is not possible to blame the distressing scenes on a small militant element when so many in the crowd were acting in an &#8220;absolutely feral way&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8220;The scenes people saw on their TV screens were completely unacceptable,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think we can go on saying a small minority were there. There were quite a lot of people who were hell bent on violence and destroying property.</p>
<p>&#8220;When people see flags being torn off the Cenotaph, when people are despoiling a statue of Winston Churchill, police officers being dragged off police horses and beaten. It is not acceptable, it is against the law to smash property, to behave in that way, to attack police officers, and I want to make sure that they feel the full force of the law.&#8221;</p>
<p>Among the most shocking episodes was the attack on a Rolls-Royce carrying Charles and Camilla by a gang who smashed a window and threw paint while shouting &#8220;Off with their heads&#8221;.</p>
<p>A Clarence House spokesman refused to confirm reports that the Duchess was poked with a stick through an open window, but stressed that the royal couple did not seek medical help.</p>
<p>Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson said an investigation is being held into the security breach, and also said armed protection officers had shown &#8220;real restraint&#8221; not to open fire as the situation slipped out of control. &#8220;Their priority was to get that car to the point of safety, which was the venue, and that was achieved, but it was a hugely shocking incident and there will be a full criminal investigation into it.&#8221;</p>
