Not at all .What makes the unions think that there working membership have the willing to go on strike losing hundreds if not thousands of pounds in wages ,losing their houses or getting in areas with the mortgage ,not having the annual getaway all for students who arguably don't have a case anyway

Re: Students Rioting in London.

Ah yes 14:04 going by the time code on the video, not 14 minutes in. It's right at the very end of the session.

By your smug tone, you sound like you're hoping the politicians win this one, is that right?

Hardly concrete evidence really. He doesn't seem to know for sure, then changes his mind.

Assumption is the mother of all frakk-ups.....

"Biased history books" - those that don't agree with your viewpoint (and it's actually "capisce").

I actually work in the Higher Education sector, have two offspring undertaking HE (one 1st year and one post-grad) and I think what the Government is doing is detrimental, but I also think that the ongoing expansion is unaffordable, so it is a bit of a quandary

But what I do hope is that the rioters don't win this one - there we do differ.

I am not sure if there is a "win" - just less losing.....

Sometimes, in life, we don't all get what we want (or feel we deserve) - we get what we can afford.

As I said, I am in a quandary, as I don't think it is simple as either "side" make out - the present expansion is unaffordable (imho), but I think the raising of fees will discourage some students who before would have taken part in the widening participation of HE.
