Bit of a hoo-haa down in london

Except for the seriously rich tax dodgers and the banks of course. That would never do. "We're all in this together" - well, some of us are

The cost of tax avoidance and tax evasion costs approx three quarters of the deficit, evasion is costly to deal with needs job creation in HMRC....avoidance upsets the rich, so the rest of us have to pay.

Other than anti-Iraq rally back in 2003 (which I did attend, principally mainly to see the Rev. Jesse Jackson), my student years were sadly void of significant rebellion/protests and this has always disappointed me.

The fat cat bankers should be helping fill the financial void they created firstly. Education in my opinion should not be made to plug gaps nor should young people of today be financially penalised.

This, and the govt. capping the number of skilled migrant workers has really pissed me off. This country is going to the dogs.

Dont know why they are capping the skilled migrant workers........seeing as they are returning to there homelands in droves anyway.

He's my MP. He's always been a cunt. He better not knock on my fucking door anytime soon.

I doubt other developed countries are having a good time of it in the recession either. Those sorts of flippant remarks belong in the Daily Mail

Was my jovial comment compared to the Daily Mail?

(If so) Amazing! It's going on the C.V.

Oops I was meant to quote Luci. I'll find the Russell Howard clip when I get home. It's funny because its true.

Is there a protest coming up any time soon if you are angry the students don't have to pay upfront?

[Gazza's Fat Mate]

If people want to get a degree they should have to pay for it. If I want something I have to pay for it.

In any event everyone getting degrees devalues them which is why you end people applying for admin jobs who have degrees in everything from astro physics to thelogy. You then have people like me sorting out the cv's and bining all those with degrees because I know that they are not going to stick around long term and have only applied for the admib job to tided them over.

Further everyone I know who has a degree earns far less than I do, has masses of debt and does a job that has nothing in my eyes to do with their degree. Conculesion unless you do a career specifc degree ie law, medicance etc then I don't see the point!

The skilled migrant workers I was referring to are the non EU educated individuals from the likes of the US/China/Japan who have a very positive impact on UK/International business.

The reason this population are being targeted is because our government haven't a clue on numbers of migrants coming from the EU.

Having been to an event recently with the UKBA... it's quite scary how they have failed to consider so many factors when implementing this ludicrous policy.
