When socialists run out of money, the people who enabled the system better watch out. If you check out any news wire about the students in England who attacked the royals, you'll see some interesting video and photos. Why don't these "students" do the same thing so many American students do, work one or more jobs and pay your own way through school. Maybe if the taxes in England weren't so high, more wealthy people would set up more scholarships.

Oh goodie, a know all who can sort all our problems out.
Right you do know we aren't a socialist country? We have a Conservative and Lib Dem coalition, the 'socialists' are in Opposition.
You do know to that the 'students' shown rioting aren't students but are trouble makers and idiots.
Taxes here are our concern you keep your criticisms for your government, students here do work to keep themselves through university so keep your snide little remarks for your television and try understanding the situation in your own country first before you decide to tell us what to do.
Btw our Royals - we'll attack them if we want to, we like a good riot every few years keeps the Royals and the government on their toes, we don't like them to get too cosy, we like to remind them every so often that we can behead the Royals and put our own parliament in, it's good for democracy.

It's an interesting question, aye. I might have had my fees paid and gotten a grant when I did my first degree way back at the beginning of the '80's but I still worked as well.
The problem is that many of these 'protestors' are too used to the "Bank of Mum and Dad" and don't realise that sometimes you have to work to get something rather than having it handed to you.
It is also the case that far too many people are being let into a university education that do not have the wherewithal to be there. In my day {gruff Yorkskire voice} about 3% to 5% of young students were bright enough to qualify for university. Now the statistics are more like 50%. Is the youth of today really ten times brighter than my generation?
As to the attack on the Prince of Wales, I am sure we have some nice comfy prisons for those responsible. Once they are identified they should be able to learn the important lesson of 'consequences' that they have so far been shielded from all their lives (assuming that it wasn't a bunch of political activists masquerading as students of course).

I'm up for a proper discussion on the student issue but not when someone who is not British looks down their nose at us sneering at us. It would be good to get the facts right in the first place.

Right. We all know that traditionally, the brits are supposed to be the ones looking down their noses at the rest of us plebes (kidding!)
... or they could do what America has just done when they ran out of money and just print some more and call it 'economic restructuring'!
Do you have the same problem we do? How do you tell them apart? :erg:
Seriously though, it does look bad on the telly.
Australian University fees are now $80,000 to $100,000 per course and if you divide that by 4 or 5 you get the cost per year. That makes our fees more expensive than Britain's but the students don't pay up front. They incur a debt then repay the money over a long period when they are earning more than a certain amount. :asian:

Ah there you are wrong! it's the English that do that, ask the Scots lol! More specifically it's the people from Surrey, they feel they are the centre of the world
I don't think a little scrote should be sneering at us when he can't actually manage to cut and paste yet. He's run down his own country and is now starting on ours.
-noun- Literally short for scrotum. When a person, usually a male, is so useless and insignificant that they do not deserve the tiny effort it takes to spit out a second offensive syllable; less than a scrotum.
"just say no to crack" was all I could think of as I watched that snivelling scrote crawl the room on his hands and knees looking for a rock....

I'm trying not to let Bob catch on, he'll add half my vocabulary to the censorship thingy!
It probably looks worse than it is, Camilla would have been saying 'I say chaps, feck orf', Charles would have thought the peasants were doing some sort of street dance to welcome him.
The students and the police were just having a bit of fun. It's a student's job to be revolting and the police's job to hit them over the head with truncheons.
LOL, I can just imagine...

I couldnt get a job, because nobody would hire me. Were it not for my father paying my tuition, I wouldn't have my Bachelor of Arts degree. Maybe you should realize getting a job and earning enough to pay the high tuition aint as easy as you make it sound.
