Thousands of students have been protesting in cities around Britain, where there has been more violence in the capital. A police van has been heavily vandalised and graffitied on as police tried to control the crowds. Elsewhere school students and college students walked out of lessons to participate in the protests over the removal of EMA for worse off families. Nick Clegg said, "Just as in life, I hate to break promises, but we did not win the election outright, and have to make compromises"Up to 3,000 students paraded through Brighton city centre as eggs and fireworks were thrown. [LIST] [*] In Oxford, hundreds of students and school pupils protested in the town centre, and police said about 70 students had occupied the Radcliffe Camera - part of the famous Bodleian Library. [*] In Cambridge, more than 200 students students scaled scaffolding to erect banners at the Senate House and protested in the grounds of King's College. [*] In Liverpool, more than 2,000 students marched, with about 300 of them blocking three major city centre roads to traffic. [*] In Sheffield, 2,000 students and secondary school pupils marched to the town hall [/LIST] [IMG]http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/50130000/jpg/_50130895_pupilvan304.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/50135000/jpg/_50135917_oxford304.jpg[/IMG] [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-11829102[/url]
This is totaly justified.
Nick Clegg must be shitting himself. I voted for you, you spineless bastard. Also, what 'violence'? None of these headlines constitutes violence.
Wait till they bring out the tanks.
Why are they worried? As long as you don't earn over 23,000 you don't have to pay anything.
Students protest everywhere constant violence cars have been destroyed and the country is in chaos! I hate it when all they focus on is the violence, which is an inevitability.
[QUOTE=Coffee;26268923]Why are they worried? As long as you don't earn over 23,000 you don't have to pay anything.[/QUOTE] Because of people like me who's parents earn just over that figure and will have great difficulties in funding myself for university, especially with so few jobs around.
This is still going on? Shit, I thought this ended like weeks ago.
[QUOTE=Coffee;26268923]Why are they worried? As long as you don't earn over 23,000 you don't have to pay anything.[/QUOTE] Because he said he would abolish it, so they voted for him, and now he's tripled it. He has a point though, he doesn't get every decision
[QUOTE=Coffee;26268923]Why are they worried? As long as you don't earn over 23,000 you don't have to pay anything.[/QUOTE] Because you have to pay back much, much more than previously. Whereas previously the government would help out and encourage you to go to university.
Maybe this will lets governments everywhere understand that there's much more of us than there are of them, and they should be doing what in our best interest, goodjob.
[QUOTE=matt.ant;26268964]Because he said he would abolish it, so they voted for him, and now he's tripled it. He has a point though, he doesn't get every decision[/QUOTE] I, personally, would have accepted that he couldn't do much if he was seen trying to fight for it - It went from 'I firmly believe in this, and I will fight for it', to 'Yeah, it's going up and not much I can do sorry'. No battling, no public disagreements. If he's going to be like this over AP voting then he may as well not bother.

There are alot more of them than there are students and the young.
Oh well, college in 6 months, then I suppose I will see whats what and decide about uni, things arn't looking good presently however.
[QUOTE=MrEndangered;26269026]'I firmly believe in this, and I will fight for it'[/QUOTE] That's true actually, he even went as far as to say charging for education is immoral
[QUOTE=matt.ant;26269073]That's true actually, he even went as far as to say charging for education is immoral[/QUOTE] Exactly, he has no balls to stand up to Cameron.
Nick Clegg... His job description is just "Head Coat Taker and Tea Maker of the United Kingdom Government".
The rates are higher in America. Learn that not everything is free.
[QUOTE=General_Xing;26269580]The rates are higher in America. Learn that not everything is free.[/QUOTE] You're a moron. The cost of life in the US is not the same as in the UK.
I was in the liverpool protest, my freind got a glass bottle thrown at his head.
I just got back from the Student protest in Brighton and Hove, in Sussex. Luckily it didn't get too bad here, the worst was someone for hit in the face really hard with an apple and had a broken nose. :v: And a bunch of people tried to storm into Poundland and steal stuff, but the Police ended up throwing them out and blocking the door.
[QUOTE=Stopper;26269818]You're a moron.

These people are lucky they even have an educational system to protest about, there are places in the world that don't even have a basic schooling system.

nick clegg is like that weird kid in school that lets you keep his pens and lie about shit.
[QUOTE=Stopper;26269818]You're a moron. The cost of life in the US is not the same as in the UK.[/QUOTE] Yeah, is much better quality of life.

Your point?

We know some people don't get an education at all. It's sad and unfortunate. But when many talented people are missed out because of a lack of funds, it's also a sad pity. But one we can actually try and do something about.
[QUOTE=Stopper;26269998]Yes, there are also places where people don't have anything to eat. Your point?[/QUOTE] Be happy with what you got man.
There was a protest in my city centre today and all the kids walked out of all of the schools to join in. Well, all of them except mine.
[QUOTE=matt.ant;26269931]Out of all the shops they choose the cheapest one[/QUOTE] Oh, no, there was a 99p store quite close, but that's only slightly cheaper. They did steal a fair bit of stuff though...
Nick Clegg needs to get a backbone. I was hoping that the coalition would actually have lib dems in it, not some shits who would be ass raped to keep their jobs. If I was Nick Clegg then I'd be pushing the conservatives to be more liberal with the threat of making a rainbow coalition. I want some backbone in politics, not this bending over and begging to keep their jobs.
