But hey thats what you get with the ToriesAh - I hadn't realised that the whole police force was re-recruited each time there was a new government. Thanks for clearing that up.

It amazes me they way that people keep banging on the Tories this the Tories that, except the fact that the country is f***ing skint thanks to the Banks and the Labour Goverment and like it or not the money has to come from somewhere or things will be a lot worse, its a bit of "get it from somewhere else as long as it doesn't effect me". Man up, if you don't like it go out and get a job.

sorry, didn't mean to do that. It's just that some of the rhetoric on here is deleterious to the discourse

I will offer a buy one get one free on that post.

The way I look at it, it's down to governments going back to the 70s. Blaming it on Labour is a bit ignorant. Perhaps you should go to uni and study some history and economics.

This is a common argument, but This then implies that when the country is no longer skint, then we will reduce the fees, so it will only be the students from these few years who will need pay. Secondly, the money still comes out of the state, students will not pay the money back for ages. None of the money that will be repaid is going to go towards the current skintness.

Good to see that the students are trying to make themselves heard.
Wonder how many students the police have injured...

The universities don't need more money, increasing fees is not going to save the government money. For every £1 of government subsidy/loans etc a university will put back £7.50. Increasing fees is a total waste of time and is not going to save the country from the debt generated correcting the previous Tory government's mistakes.

I will admit part of the reason I put the last post was to get reaction. I'm sick of hearing about the Tories being responsible for the current cuts. All parties are as bad as each other you can't point the finger in one direction. I don't agree with politicians going back on their election promises and the Tories have done that, but labour would have done the same. The only difference is that labour are better at organising strikes and riots

Indeed. I bet the Greeks, Spanish, Portuguese, Irish, and Icelanders, are all very please that Labour wasn't in charge of their countries during the Global Credit Crunch. Otherwise they would all be "skint" today.

the new loans/fees system will mean most graduates pay back a lot less.
can i transfer my graduate debt to the new system that this lot are rioting about please?
and it was Labour that introduced fees and loans.
Posted 1 year ago # -
Student loans were introduced in the early 90's under the Tories. I think my first one in my final year in 1992 was circa £500 for the year!

Which is why some people voted LibDem and not Labour.
Nick Clegg said that he wanted A FAIRER ALTERNATIVE
No mention of putting fees up.

Hmm, that's not what various chancellors say when they come on telly.

I don't think they are rioting about the system, they are rioting about the amounts involved.
Posted 1 year ago # -
the amounts are irrelevant.
i will never clear my debt, as i'm reminded every year, and i don't owe as much as most of today's graduates.
this new system is graduate tax in everything but name.
Posted 1 year ago # -
The amounts are relevant, as they dictate how likely you are to be able to clear it. Obvious, no?
Posted 1 year ago # -
well yes. obviously.
but the typical debt is already so high that most will never pay it off
i won't, and i owe a lot less than the people who graduated this year.
i don't mind, it's ok - i've got no complaints.
