    BBC linky

    THIS is how a protest is made! The French have finally been outdone!

    Everyone likes a riot. *appropriate smilie I can't be bothered to find*

    But on a more serious note, what exactly are they angry at? Do they plan on funding Uni's with money that doesn't exist?
    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

    Take it from the elderly, after all it's their fault we're in this mess. You could do it in a sneaky way though, with a special tax on After Eight for example....

    Or the military, that's also a pure expense. But trying to save money by cutting investments as opposed to expenses is idiotic.

    Whoever caused the problem, it doesn't change the fact we have to deal with it now. How would we punish the elderly instead... they've got it bad enough already I think.

    The elderly will have to learn that there are consequences to their actions, there is no get out of jail card in real life.

    Meh, my Gran gets a pension of something like £90 a week, I'm not going to get upset because some student can't get another x thousands funding so he can party for another year.

    Man I am in a confrontational mood today, but really, University is a joke, don't know if you read my Frontroom thread a few days ago.

    Cutting uni funding is like trying to save money by saving gas and staying home instead of driving to work. It's pure nonsense.

    EDIT: Yeah, who needs teachers, engineers, nurses, etc etc....

    No, they are scum.

    Students have a legitimate right to protest, but these, well i wouldn't cry if they were dragged down back alleys by french riot police.

    Now they know how to party!
