I agree with their plight, it sent shivers down my spine when I thought of the amount of money I'd need to get my son through Uni in a few years. Now I'm a student myself (albeit a mature, wrinkled one), I might have to pay next year and I don't think I'd be able to afford it and it's gonna screw up my degree.

They want a Great Britain but how is it encouraging the next generation to make it Great?

The Tories are taking the proverbial as per!

It is best done without commiting harm or damage. Some don't seem to be able to resist getting carried away. Some of course do it for the sheer hell of it and do not necessarily sympathise with the demonstration.
Agree.

Alot of them are professionals who go to these sort of protests merely to cause mayhem and be violent.  Anarchists alot of them are who wouldn't know what a hard day's work was.  I have nothing against them protesting and don't have any particular views on what they are protesting about.  Do it peacefully though or feel the strong arm of the law and be punished.

Why is it a generalisation?  I didn't say all of them, I said alot of them.

As for giving anarchists a bad name, I think they do that themselves perfectly well.

Quite.


Anyway, Gove just said on the news 'it's a pity that people feel the need to demonstrate in a Democracy'. Last time I looked demonstrations were still legal in this country.  Mind you, porbably not for much longer.

We have had a whole generation of youngsters who didn't seem to care about anything and here are these young people demonstrating about something they feel passionate about.
But they're still painted in a bad light. No matter what kids do these days they'll always be reported as an inconvenience. Not fair on those who genuinely give a shit about their lives or education. Conveniently, these people don't mentioned or praised.

No they don't.And there are so many young people out there doing all sorts of good stuff. I was furious when their protest got hi jacked last time. But the president of the NUS acted with such integrity and dignity over the whole thing.

I think our younger generation is just fine.

Good luck to them.  They were shafted by the Lib Dems at the election and were shafted by Labour previous to that.  As for the Tories, students are wise not to trust them in the first place.

The debts students will now accrue are ridiculous.  I actually support the principle of student fees and don't see why students shouldn't have to pay something for their education and greater earning potential but ÂĢ9,000 pa is just crazy and is going to stop a lot of able but poor people going.
