I was going to keep away from politics, but since students have been betrayed as hooligans by the politicians and the media of this country.
There's plenty of reasons against not putting up the tuition fees but mainly, it is a tax on those who wish to better themselves. And they are already sacrificing the loss of earnings, they could be making in the years their are at University. When graduates get jobs. I doubt they pay will go up even though these businesses are benefiting from the students that have already sacrificed a great deal of finance and time. Whatever the government says the high debt and potential loss of earnings is going to put people on the University. It would have stopped me, and as there is no apprenticeships. I would have been really buggered.
The media, and especially the Mail are betraying these students as unwashed art students that will amount to nothing. Of all the students I know most studying sciences; chemistry, physics, engineering and computing.
The people protesting at doing so they feel it is greatly unfair that the generation before them, saddling of their great failures on to them. The fees are just part of the problem, we the youth are going to see ourselves working to we are dead with little service is left. This is all a result of a greed and corruption with big business and the banks yet they are getting away scot free, the perfect crime.
So the media, out of all thousands of students. How many of them if they were students at all, or just an attempt to the public to lose favour with the students were actually wrecking the very old, carefully placed police van?. Would you not set fires if you out the cold after being barricaded in four hours and hours without food, water or toilet facilities?. And why is the media, not an uproar about the appalling way the police handled the situation, where they were bullying 15-year-old children in an attempt to make sure they never stood up for them selves again. All because this has happened organically through the Internet via twitter and facebook. This was not the work of some anarchis lefty group of students and schoolchildren that want the same great education at the same cost as the people before them.
Now, this is not just an argument about education fees, but the right to protest, the right to be heard. Not the media telling lies to protect the government so they do what they want, or the bbc scared to say anything but what the rest of the media says in case there is a witch hunt to bring down the bbc.
And the right politicians are trying to keep to their manifesto and issead of coming out with bullshit and atmint changed his mind power and money.
In the words of Sham 69, if the kids are united they'll never be divided.
