Announced today: £9,000 per year? Bullshit!

I think this is a travesty!

What your thoughts on this whole issue?

you're going to get raped to fuck by taxation for the rest
of your life in a million other areas so i guess it doesn't
really matter. i'm sure it will all balance out.

fact is, the universities will either get their money from
government grants or they'll get it from tuition fees

Was capped at £3,290 per year before for all universities.
But now the cap has been raised (by almost 300%) to £9,000
per year. If a uni wants to charge more than £6,000 though,
they will have to offer other stuff like Summer school and
more grants and bursaries for students. This will still mean
that Oxbridge universities will charge £9,000, justifying
this with high cost of tutors, which might mean they won't
be forced to offer bursaries, leading to massive inequality
in education- only the rich can go to the "best"
universities. :(

In honesty though, I am not sure if I agree with all the
student protests. Something did probably have to be done by
government, with all the cuts and the fact that more and
more people are going to university now. Summit's gotta
give! I am lucky I have avoided the increase of fees for
uni, though it might stop me doing an MA or PGCSE. If I have
kids it will effect them too.

Doubt I will live in UK for much longer, for partly the
taxation reason.

Government is still subsidising in some areas. They are
gonna pay for the first year for those with parents earning
less than 25k. Also, they will loan all the money for
tuition fees. Bursaries/grants don't seem to be effected
that much.

Sorry but you're going to have to choose between whining
about taxes or whining about tuition fees

(tuition fees are awful i'm sorry)

I feel bad. The english rioted twice as hard as we did and
they got rape in the ass.

We got a increase of 500 quid.

Why do I have to choose?

Cos society depends on at least one to remain economically
sustainable?

If so, :(

Can I just run away somewhere else please?

Yeah, the government doesn't give a shit when we protest.

Some people did scare a royal today though: lol

It's not like France, where people strike and actually get
what they want!

I am just trying to elicit other people's opinions.

There are a bunch of students on this message board whom
this effects.

Anyway, how are you?

If that makes you feel any better, our government doesn't
give a shit either and we didn't get what we wanted.

Naive hopeful people. Can you blame them for having faith in
a positive, moral, hopeful party who didn't know any better
until they actually got into power?

Nick Clegg is a victim of circumstance, really. But I still
have no sympathy for him.

theres no difference between clegg and cameron
both went to posh schools

clegg spent his life selling out britain to the eu
hes a cheap demagogue and he reneged on the only policy that
the majority of his voters were actually interested in

i aint got any sympathy for these protest teenagers
libdemmery is wrong on every level possible and always has
been
roy jenkins, shirley williams, david owen, and the other
one........ morons who never should have been allowed to
mangle our laws, constitution, or universities

sod them all, stupid ignorant teenagers and their clegg
demagogue worship :-)
