I think this whole march is a bit sad really. The vast majority of the people on that march will have little idea of the situation beyond their immediate reaction of "I dont want to have to take a cut in my quality of life".
This is what happens when we have lived beyond our means for many years and said that anyone who doesnt want to work doesnt have to. You can't just draw a line under it and move on. You must try to repair the damage.
Listen to all the interviews today and I would wager that less than 10% of them have anything interesting or valid to say. Of course there are hundreds of thousands of people that work hard and scrape by however they would be fine if we didnt have so many that we willing and happy to do the complete opposite.
I just can't understand how so many people think that their ill informed opinion gives them the right to march on issues that the don't understand.
Want everyone to pay £3000 fees, then shut down all the **** universities and move the funding to the worthwhile ones.
Want more social mobility, then focus on the root issues of poor education rather than relating every little issue in this country to a lack of money.
If there is one thing that we have learnt from the labour government, it was that money has little bearing on the effectiveness of education.
It nearly makes my blood boil when I listen to labour and that **** ed milliband talking about issues with policies that are not in place and have potential to help people. The generation that labour have created are a perfect metaphor for the parties policies over the last 10 or more years.
A sense of entitlement and little thought for the consequences of their actions. Anyone can throw billions at problems and appear to superficially help, but eventually someone has to pay for that. The way it is paid for classically is by the increased revenue your spending generates, well congratulations labour, we have a workforce that is ill equipped to work in modern society, too many graduates with **** degrees and an overinflated sense of self worth, an nhs that cannot be sustained because we have again decided that actions and repercussions have no link. Oh and to top it off those who have worked hard all their lives get a nice slap in the face when they retire.
Lets all march to save the wonderful society and policies that labour championed.
