This. How can we possibly vote for anyone, if they don't actually do what they say? Waste of everyone's time, burn the liars!

Westminster will never change. I doubt they will push for legally binding manifestos either.
They would run out of things to **** each other off about
exactly, really sad.
fact is if you cant afford Uni, either save up or ask parents before leaving school or go to work and do uni after.
while i agree the fee's are steep it is still a privilege more than a given for each person within the UK.
Why is 'mummy' in debt?
What do this lot study, idleness and being turds?
Throw them out of college, stick them on a chain gang and make them do some work for the benefit of all.
No, it was some girl that just stepped up to the camera and just started shouting nonsense.
Another was when there was another reporter talking, and there were protesters nearby shouting, the reporter said something like the people next to me are shouting but do not want to be filmed and some guy just got "all up in her face" shouting and pointing at her.
2 words;
Student ****ers
Loads of my mates are students that are either finishing or finished University, all they do now is laze about all day doing **** all.

meh, if they strike who are they really hurting, its not like their a critcal service or have any real impact on the econamy....
Why do they think they are owed a university degree, you dont get anything in live for free, they all need to grow up and get a clue about the real world tbh
but it's ok for UK gov to spend close a trillion pounds to bailout banks? ofc there is no money left for education, firemen etc...
Am I the only one on here that enjoyed the days events?
I did in the sense that I predicted there would be riot like behaviour and there was.
They didn't, they have a total possible liability of about £850bn but they haven't spent anywhere near that amount. Regardless, what do you think would have happened if they hadn't bailed out the banks? We wouldn't be making cuts to public services as we wouldn't have any public services to cut.
sry i lived in US for years where one trillion = 1000x a billion.
anyway it is about £850 billion
in answer to your question other banks/investors would have bought the ones that failed at discount prices

what, how could they do that, they all went bust.
Because teachers and firemen don't produce anything, they don't pay anything in to the country's financial wealth. The UK is something like a 75% service economy, mostly financial services. All that money the government spends on students and stuff ultimately comes from London bankers. They are the ones paying the bloody taxes!
The government had the option of bailing them out or watching 75% of the GDP implode.
The whole thing is going to implode anyway at some point like other people have mentioned already, because the UK consumes more than it produces. All those media studies, philosophy and history students you see protesting aren't going to help much. I doubt there are many chemical engineering or actuarial science students in that crowd.
The USA is on the right track with Obama wanting to double exports in 5 years. That's why they are debasing the dollar right now. Next step protectionism.

no they didn't. chinese banks are doing well
think you are exagerrating quite a bit - any reliable sources to such wild claims?
also lots of banks/afilliates/finacial structures do business in other countries which don't affect GDP. need to revise your economics
