The protests are bound to turn violent as they now know they get massive media coverage, for what benefit now i don't know but i would expect them to go again just to prove they are still pissed off.

I started a uni course last year but had to finish due to starting late and not having enough time to catch up so postponed it and now with the new addition to the family i was waiting for another year so planning to start in 2011 but due to these increases that is now completely beyond me now, i would imagine many mature students like myself can't justify clocking up to £50k bills on top of a mortgage so i can understand the frustration.

It's more than just having to pay - you had to pay before but to rise by an extra up to £6k per year is crazy as £3k was bad enough.

Regarding the politician's selling points I must be missing something, they keep saying it will help out underprivileged family's with not having to foot the bills outright ..... they did that already, you apply for your tuition grant for £3k and then you pay it back when you earn the cash so nothing has changed apart from a massive increase - robbing cunts
