Rioting in London?

Let the free market sort it out. The government needs to be completely dislocated from the whole thing. That is why the prices are so inflated to begin with. This only works if the government won't subsidize the loans or bail anyone out when they make bad investments.
So you want a loan for an Electrical Engineering? OK our analysts calculate there is a good chance you will get a job and pay us back, here is the money.
So you want a loan for a music studies degree? LOL **** off.
Again this only works if the government stays out so loan companies can't milk the gov teet and inflate prices.

what, how could they do that, they all went bust.
They didn't.
The banks who caused it profited greatly.
It is not the fault of the future students that the previous government did such a **** poor job of running the country
Perhaps if there was some personal accountability by the politicians involved (such as bankrupting and jailing the lot of them) ...

I didn't realise there was no music industry, drama culture or the arts.
Suppose they don't bring any money do they?
But the government will still get an extra cut due to your increased wages as opposed to being on the dole with no degree.
Your system is only fair if there is a flat (£££ - so not even %) tax rate.
Wouldnt do Maggie much good

Shame they didn't burn the place down but not surprising that they didn't, give it was a mob of middle class brats. Cameron will be getting Chinese whispers in his ear on how to deal with them, lets just hope someone **** on his desk.
She didn't ruin the country, the Labour gov. before her and the unions did ...
How it should be done, suprised it got organised pretty well. This country sits back to much and has a little bicker but does nothing about it and wonders why the government continues to push and the country whines and 'rolls over'.
Its not that though is it? They're increasing fees to cover the cuts they've made. The-problem-is-immigration. Yet they're making students suffer for it.
Everyone knows it, no one speaks up. Which is why this protest is a good thing, to make them aware there are people out there who aren't lap dogs. No I wasn't there before you say.
Headline in 10 years time "Not enough job applicants have degrees, tuition fees cut by 50% to allow more students go to university"
Honestly this country goes round in circles.

"Shows the monthly movements in gross value added for the service industries, which overall account for around 74 per cent of UK Gross Domestic Product (GDP)."

"The UK’s service industries are under-supported, poorly defined and “neglected”, despite making up around 75pc of GDP, research has found." ...
"While the manufacturing sector represents about 16pc of the UK’s GDP" OUCH.

Who buys the music though? The kid's of people who actually make something, you know like engineers.
Put it this way, if you were going to give your son £20k for uni would you rather he spent it on a music studies degree or a petroleum engineering degree?
you claimed that bank bailout would have resulted in a fall of 75% GDP as per your post 259!
services includes many other indutries other than just banking (IT, Distribution, Education, Restaurants etc...) basically anything other than is manufacturing, mining or farming
therefore not bailing out the banks doesn't equal a 75% drop in GDP
Only if you stay in the UK.

I don't see philosopher on that list.
