Can you Beat 'em ?

Good Old Tories, no one like 'em for dividing the Nation and bringing crowds out on he Streets. Cameron follows Thatcher !!

/// they are fighting son, because if the tories get their way, the likes of you and your brother will be back down't pit in a few years , instead of going to school. never-mind university.///

A typical case of "I blame the parents" .

So let's bring back Labour and unite the nation and while we're about it surrender what remains of our sovereignty to Brussels, invade a couple more muslim countries, pander to the unions, encourage educationally challenged youngsters to go to university, abolish the monarchy and make Lord Prescott President. Can't wait.

Sorry, McMouse, but Utopia is alas but a dream!-:)

Shouldn't you two be on the psychics thread?

Perhaps these students should spend more time studying than going out on the streets rioting.

that's a startlingly original observation, aog, or would be if my mother hadn't been muttering the same thing 40 years ago.

Well said mcmouse. I seem to remember seeing protesters in their thousands on the streets trying to stop the foxhunting ban under Labour as well.

Should the organisers of demonstrations be held financially responsible for any damage caused. Would that act as a deterrant to irresponsible behaviour.
With regards to the NUS we pay them to run their organisation . Should we reconsider these type of payments in view of how our money is used.

Our greatest Asset is an Educated Public, we should invest in it not try to destroy it. Unless you want England to resemble Bangladesh,peasants working for Peanuts, a Truly Tory Dream.

I still argue, brionon, that a University education is a privilege, not a right. Not everyone is academic, and we need just as many (if not more) people with vocational skills in order to keep the country ticking - plumbers, drivers, hairdressers, receptionists, dustmen, railway ticket office clerks - and so on. You need skills to do those jobs, not a degree.
