I'm listening to an interview with someone from the Stop the Cuts orgonization. She was asked a simple question "Why should taxpayers fund a course in media studies". Answer: "Because students are the future" Sigh..... I mean, to vote Lib Dems based on Tuition fees. tisk tisk tisk
I go to Uni at the moment. I don't live with other students tho.
I feel sick at the site of people 'rioting', I wanted to go to uni over in America, where it is like $20k a year.
In the end I wasn't allowed to go due to the cost, you didn't see me throw my toys out of the pram. I just went somewhere else.
Hopefully this will stop the retarded people going to uni and getting degrees in 'surfing' or other stupid ****.

Well said mate
Ye very well said mate!
I may have seemed irate in my post, but i would never take it that far, pathetic is an understatement.
Thats what football violence is for...
I think the protests are necessary although violence is not. Think about it, someone doing a 4 year course could end up having to pay £36,000, and thats only fees, the government are ******** on middle class citizens and the hard working man, something needs to be done or they are just going to carry on in this manner.
NEARLY the suggestion i have made since the start!
Performance based awards should be applicable.
EDIT: start of my degree... not thread.

I have said it already an I'll say it again, it was the bankers who got our country into this financial mess, and the youth and taxpayer are having to pay for their greed and **** ups whle they earn millions each year in bonuses.
And also, where are they people going to get the jobs to pay for this debt that they will be in as there are very few out there.
The only person who went into westminster with the right idea was guy fawkes.
heres my views:
students are protesting over the wrong thing:
the rise in fees is actually better for students - sure its £9000 max BUT you dont start paying till you earn over 21000 a year. and then it comes straight out of your wages, graduate tax, also instead of everybody paying the same amount back per month theyve altered the interest rates so the more you earn the more you pay back... and because of the way they have done it your actually paying back less each month than you would be if you had 3000 a year
why students should protest:
the cuts to uni funding - this will cause alot of unis to go bankrupt (why they need to pay more for fees) and alot of big unis including Edge hill, worcester, manchester met, leeds met and sheffield hallam among others could financially collapse.... i would rather pay the money and actually have a uni to go to.
people also forget that the poorer you are the more financial help you get, its people like me whos parents "earn too much" that wont be able to afford living costs etc... there is soon to be 6 (mum is pregnant) of us in whats meant to be a 2 bed house (we converted a walk in wardrobe to a bedroom)
i think thats everything

Some good points there
im at worcester.... it is abit of a **** take... although there financial support (welfare office) work wonders and have helped me out loads.
i can only imagine what it would be like with you in charge.
or how about......seeing that the government is cutting funding for school sports, why not tax players a bit more over a certain amount, and use that with some cash from the FA to put more money into school sports?
this would be a good idea... the funding cuts to school sports has really damaged my future... as im currently doing a degree in Sports Coaching science and sports development,
i wanted to be a sports development officer... looks like im going to be scrapping that idea and hopefully go into the sports performance analysis business :/
