I think DRS is referring to the way you sometimes go 'All Guardian reading, sandal wearing, lentil eating' Paul, although I may be wrong.
Didn't think I did tbh. Is it only sandal wearers who think we should have teachers and nurses then?

Police: "Protesters have failed to stick to the agreed route."
To be fair, so have the Lib Dems

Yeah but at least the protesters were honest in their aim of not sticking to agreed route

Sorry, wasn't having a pop. I'm genuinely confused. But then I often am.

I say bring on the water cannons! If football hooligans have to face the wrath of them, then so should the 'stoodents'.

Don't you work in a school? Should you not be a teeny bit concerned over these cuts?

I'm support staff. I've had two colleagues leave and not replaced.
Maybe that's where my anger has come from...

Paul - I personally think if you want to go and enjoy Uni/get a degree then as an individual you should pay for that privilege - I know I am going to be shot down in flames a little for that but I honestly believe that...
All this talk about "helping the country" - "the country benefits" is true to a degree - but lets be honest the vast majority of people are doing it to better their individual chances of more money over their career....
In that respect it seems right and proper to contribute towards that
It also seems unfair to me that people leaving school and getting jobs (builders, plumbers etc) should be funding someone who wants to spend another 3 years studying - I guess that's the "tory" in me coming out....
As for your comments on midwives etc... - I just looked it up. A midwife in a UK hospital emplyed by the NHS has a salary band of between £25,500 and £34,000 !!
That doesn't seem like peanuts to me !

Well football "hooligans"* don't - at least not yet - water cannon have never been used in mainland Britain. * Quotes are because in a public order context the term "football hooligan" usually means "anyone connected to football fans that has been arrested/hit by the police". If they do start using water cannon on whoever they deem to be hooligans, we're all quite likely to get a soaking

I'm sorry if I'm being overly simplistic but aren't we in a recession? and haven't we got a huge fucking deficit? So doesn't that mean the Country's basically skint?
People don't want to pay more taxes, so where is all the money going to come from to continue the level of public spending we have seen over the last 10 years? There are cuts going on everywhere, not just in education.
