Revolution is a messy process. The only disgusting element here are the Tories and their LibDem whipping boys trying to divert attention away from robbing students and jacking fees up, by focusing on an extremely small rowdy minority.
People complain that we never rise up and do something, that we roll over as a British people, about when the government forces unpopular decisions on us, yet they'll just as quickly moan about action.
Make your mind up. I've seen so many people (especially on this forum) praising the French who take no prisoners, yet when students act passionately about a real case of unfairness and petty penny-pinching that has the potential for real damage, you all decry it
Hypocrites.
You seem to be missing a major thing, Labour has just spent 8 year robbing these students of their future, Libdem/Conservative coalition is simply having to deal with replacing the stolen money, nothing more or less.
Labour lent all this money out already, if the books don't balance, uni's will shut down, NHS will shut down, police will shut down, then what will you do?
The rises are too big, but caused by the utterly scandalous handling of the economy and the education system as a whole by Labour. UNlike Labour we have a party in charge who are FACING UP TO THE PROBLEM, rather than loading MASSIVE DEBT onto these same students who would under Labour be eventually working at huge taxation, into their 70's/80's to pay for all the truly ridiculous spending Labour want to do now.
YOu're just another one of these people who aren't thinking about the future at all.
5 expensive tight years now are INFINATELY better than, in 50 years losing all ability to sell our debt, and have 50 horrible, broken, downtrodden, no help years in the future.
THe problem with people like you, and these students, is they can't think about the future, its just now now now. Not great now, or truly horrific in the future, those ARE your two options, theres no other option, we can't just keep spending, increasing year on year, the world economy will not support the UK doing that, if China stops buying our debt, thats it, game over, everything shuts down indefinately.
