Tory thread is full of Tory

Nope.
But how everyone seems to think it's fine to charge students three times the current rate despite having their University education for free.
And how violence from a small minority is blown out of all proportions by the media yet again and the real point of the protest is lost.
As Hatter The Mad and the such know, the real point is more boring that "exciting" images of smashed windows.

Indeed, smashed windows are worse than murder.
The mentality isn't far off. Obvious nutters.

The current system is uaffordable.
What would you propose instead James ? It's either less people go or they pay more unless I am missing something.
It's funny how when some students smash up Tory HQ it's all "hangings too good for 'em, they should be skinned alive and dropped in salt, then birched". Yet when the Bullingdon Club smash up a restaurant it's all "student high jinx, chaps will be chaps, a bit of fun that got out of hand".

I agree the current system is unaffordable, I don't have the answers but something must be up when Lecturers and Heads of Universities are unhappy with the plans.
It just seems to have all been rushed through without any FULL consultation with Universities and Students together.
Why not have some form of communication between all parties rather than a simple report by Lord Browne?
The report by Lord Browne seems to have been hastily put together considering it will have impact of students for the rest of their lives possibly.

country is ridiculous they should have the students try this in russia see what happens
People who use terms such as "Grass" and "Snitch" tend to come from the dregs of society. I guess it isn't too surprising that your location is Liverpool.

since when was that true, you have to love the anti torie spin. youll find lots of us dont like the plans but violence is never warrented at a protest

It's what the Buller chaps are famous for old boy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullingdon_Club#The_Club.27s_reputation
I don't condone the violence, I just wonder why violence is overlooked when it's members of the upper classes doing it.
Rather ironically the various students/wannabe photo journalists running around with DSLRs haven't done any favours for the little anarchist webbles smashing windows.
Personally I'm undecided on the fees issue but smashing up a building is pointless and chucking a fire extinguisher off the roof is beyond retarded. I really do hope they catch the guy who threw it and his prison sentence is long enough to screw up his degree - he was quite literally only a couple of feet away from potentially killing someone.

They tend to get their cheque book out afterwards... charges dropped, restaurant owners more than compensated etc..etc..
perhaps because its part of the event and damages are paid for.
