I think the attack on the Royals was very wrong but I agree with the protest against the tuition fees.  The Government won a lot of votes from students when they promised not to put the fees  up....a few weeks after the new Govt. were "installed", they put the fees up drastically which means that the poorer families won't be able to go to university or if they do, they will have a huge debt which they will never be able to repay but will of course be paying it, for all of their lives.

Fake promises to win votes is disgraceful and the coalition party (Lib Dem) are very embarrassed about it.

Politicians lying and  making empty promises, that's something new!!

Blue...its like here in the USA.  We have promised TOO much to TOO many people.  Government has over extended itself.  Time to cut.

It is really a shame how some countries gouge students or should i say parents for tuition that is almost impossible to pay or payback.

Yet there are other countries where student can go for practically nothing. Again it all boils down to the same thing........the gov getting a piece of the pie. Most loans are paid back to the gov....that right there paints the picture...at least in the US.

Indeed - I guess it's the same all over.  

I have to say, it's not often this country finds it's voice but on this occasion, we certainly have.  The students are protesting all around the country wherever there is a university, which I agree with but there is no need for violence. Some of it is fueled by the coppers.    Even youngsters aged 12 are protesting - it's their future too.  The thing is that in Scotland they still don't have to pay tuition fees for university so I can see there will be a mass exodus to all the Scottish Universities.

Why should the government (US, England, etc.) pick up the bill for college education?Huh?  These students have "entitlement mentality" big time.
