I was there...

Education at any level is a Right, it not only enriches peoples lives and knowledge which benefits all of society but its the major factor in social mobility, it should be used to allow people, no matter there background to be the best they can be, you shouldnt have to take on debt or pay fees to gain education.

as for paying for it, its easy enough, just clamp down on tax dodgers or raise taxes for the super rich or cut trident and wars, or better yet do all of these things!

They disgust me, putting it plainly, yes even the ones protesting peacfully.

Everyone else is this country is suffering, having cut backs, why should they be let off? They're acting like brats. I say smoke bomb, tazer, and C45 them.

Then roast and execute them.

I hate rioters. They don't belong in a nation and should be stripped off all their freedoms.

If it weren't for rioters my country would still be run by communists. They're the greatest people in the world! Vive la revolution!!!

oh, and fuck the royals, seriously, what an utter joke the media here is, they dont care about the attacks on peoples futures, but the car of two state funded millionaires who did nothing at all to earn that money gets smashed and apparently thats all that fucking matters.

Luckily this "revolution" some people are laughingly referring to here will never happen... as 90% of the population have zero sympathy for these wasters.

If you want a further education, presumably to further your personal wealth and standing then you better be prepared to pay for it.  This is only difficult to understand for these idiots due to their naivity and immaturity, they cant help it... they are just kids after all.  When some of them are lawyers, doctors or senior in business then will think differently.  Of course many of those studying media studies will always be immature.... hey ho.

 

 

 

So you fully support your incompetent government coming into power and pushing terrible policies that will cripple the future of young people and slow down the economic recovery? There are not enough jobs these days for young people with degrees/diplomas. Very soon a degree/diploma will be needed to work in retail/fast food. Outsourcing of most of the skilled/unskilled jobs to Asia and Africa has crippled western world economies. More people have to take up credit cards and loans from personal loan sharks just to live another week. 

You expect there not to be any resistance from young people who are dismissed as: Terrorists, Anarchists, Socialists or Communists? Police are the thugs here, they over react and they use over the top thuggish tactics that make the problems even worse. Protesters do not respect governments or police, they do not care about a short stint in prison. They become political prisoners and on Face Book political prisoners are heroes. 

Liberal Democrats turning their back on the student voters who promised not to increase student fees. It was expected by the Radical Libertarian Tories  to push through crap policy measures that will increase youth unemployment rates. 1980s all over again but the population is a lot bigger. 

The young generation have been  raised up by: MTV, rap music, wannabe celebrities, we do not care about authority and we have  fewer opportunities than the previous generations who had life much easier.

bullshit, most people I speak to support the student movement, its only delluded elitist tory scum who live in there own fantasy world that dont.

That's just life. If the UK is going to give everybody free benefits,they got to get that money some how. You can't have something for nothing,which people seem to think that you can. The same goes for the US,eventually china is going to take over the west.

Drop out of university and  do not bother doing anything with your life. Tories have tripled all university fees across the board.

They claim it is a measure to pay back the debt, reduce the deficit and increase the number of youth unemployment. Government bureaus can magically smooth the figures to cover up the increasing unemployment rates.

Unless you are an upper-middle class or closely related to the Royal family like most Tory MPs, you will not be able to afford to go to university.

Sign up on the welfare and just play your War Craft and console games or do whatever you want.

People will be able to afford it because you don't have to start paying it back until you start earning £21000 a year.

What's next on Tory policy horizon? Abolishment of state funded university places? Full fee paying university places only?

Increase the taxes on the young  to pay back the Corporate bail outs: we just tripled university fees.

Policies from the 19th century have a way of creeping back in when the Tories come into power. An epidemic of laziness seems to have hit the UK when the Tories come into power. The poor are to blame for being poor.  

Whatever sounds regressive, negative and counter productive it is gold for Tory policy.
