Bit of a hoo-haa down in london

Any student that has attacked a police officer, or caused criminal damage needs the book thrown at them.

Or possibly a loose-leaf ring binder

[Ardiles]

Quite enjoyed watching Cameron on the news last night lecturing Chinese students on how Western democracy was the only way to guarantee stability and prosperity. While back home, our own students were rioting and trashing his party HQ in protests at cuts imposed because of a fucked economy

And while his party was giving even more powers away to the EU last night as well. He has some front talking about democracy

Apparently he's whinging about the lack of Police response, yeah well Cameron welcome to the world the rest of us live in.

No, because if that happens someone else will throw a hissy fit. It's not exactly offensive, just a lot of pointless debate. You don't have to read it.

I've not read all the thread but for me there can't be too strong a reaction to fees. This is not an isue that only affects student, but future generations (and their parents) too.

Talented students should not be priced out of University education. Its hard enough paying for housing and food while studying, let alone scandalous tuition fees.

Problem is that it was sustainable when only the academically gifted 3% went to university, but now its all inlclusive the simple fact is there isn't a way the government can afford to sustain the cash outlay.

Its all F'd up.

I totally agree. Labour's drive to get 50% of people going into university was well intentioned in that it sought to bring a great education to many more people. Unfortunately, they way it was done was to relabel pointless waste-of-time courses as degrees, as well as turning people away from things like apprenticeships which would have been much more beneficial to them.

when democracy fails this is what happens, wont be long before its nurses, teachers and even the police joining in. Fucking liars and cunts. fair play to the students. fight the greed of the the bankers not take away a persons right to education.

[tans]

[Mexicano Rojo]

[pauld]

Hope we can rely on the fire brigade to start a better fire than that pathetic effort the students came up with
