That all seems a bit presumptuous to me. He's a plank alright, and no doubt having a famous father will have contributed to the swift apology, but other than that it's all speculation.

It's called governing, I don't know if you've been keeping up on recent events but the Lib-Dems didn't win the election

Their pledge was if they "won" the election.............which they didn't.

They were asked into partnership with the tories, and the price for that partnership was that they to scrap that pledge in order to govern for the greater good of the country.

And to be honest, in the great scheme of things, this is a minor issue that doesn't deserve anything like the attention or reaction it's been getting.



Have to read the policy???????????? do you actually know what you're complaining about, do you know the facts.

Firstly it's "up to" £9,000. £9,000 is not a flat across the board fee. It depends on what Uni you're going to.

Secondly those from the poorest backgrounds will 1 - 2 years free.



Everything that happened was caused by, and is the responsibility of, the rioting idiots nobody else.

I believe they will carry on and it'll probably get much worse. they're rebelling against the government itself now.

Why is it someone explain, the Police are having to deal with hooligans, throwing stuff at them, someone ends up in hospital having a baton across his head, and the police are getting blamed for cuasing the aggrox for there heavy handedness.

So, what about the thugs putting 4 policeman in hospital with serious injuries, the policeman who was pulled off his horse, even though they were being battered left right and centre, and yet they were still caring for the thugs, but its a case of police cannot win, no matter what they do.

The Police on the other hand were injured by people responding to them stopping their democratic right to smash things up and act like thugs, it's their own fault really. :erm:

Well that's the impression I get from listening to the 'student' leaders on TV who seem less than happy about revealing exactly what they are studying and if they ever intend on getting a proper job.

Any sympathy I had for students is now gone. There wasn't this level of protests when the tuition fees were introduced in the first place, or when the review to their levels were introduced.
However when a predominately Tory government actually does something with them there is hell to pay. I wonder why that is? :rolleyes:
