Imagine fighting for the right to pay too much for a useless degree in post-colonial studies or something. Later they’ll be rioting for the jobs they aren’t qualified for because of their useless humanities degrees. Years from now they’ll be rioting for the retirement benefits they never earned because they spent their lives un- or under-employed.
The University bubble desperately needs to be deflated.
This is a TRIPLING of tuition. I would imagine the Brits thought it inequitable to triple the cost of tuition (whatever it was) while everybody else skates by without serious revisions in whatever it is they are getting.
Frankly, I have no idea what UK students pay, nor any idea what education actually costs, but an increase this steep suggests that someone thought to turn tuition into a tax on students.
Kind of like the Obamakkkare tax on artificial legs, replacement joints, caps, crowns, hair implants, tans and diabetic test materials.
Just another reason why we know the Leftwingtards are mentally ill and should be stripped every bit of power before they destroy the world.
I don’t even think these people are capable of thinking anymore. What’s the point of college in a place like the UK? To get a better job that pays more so you can pay it all to the government in taxes, VAT taxes and more taxes? For why? Get on the dole, it’s the new way to prosper in the UK. I read the stories every week in the UK papers.
“Gimme freebies or I'll throw a tantrum!”
“Fings break doanay?”
If the purpose of education was to actually educate people, the entire college curriculum could be filmed, uploaded to YouTube and watched by the entire world for free.
Funding is another issue - i.e. - when they don't get enough government monies (that's us) to pay their salaries and new buildings. Then all hell breaks loose.
There is a way to quickly stop this nonsense.
The ABC video is taking forever to load. It doesn’t look like the same video posted on Drudge. The riot isn’t about tuition, it’s total anarchy, and it’s frightening.
>> “Free my Future”
Ironic and pathetic.
They need to reduce the payments to education an additional amount to cover the damage.
Oh, dear me, Britain must have some of those dangerous, violent, subversive Tea Partiers.
