I dont see the problem with the rise, of course if uni could be cheap or even free it would be amazing to give that opportunity to our children but we simply don't have the money!
When I left school it was acceptable to leave with GCSE's, Great to leave with A-levels and to get a degree would really stand you out from the crowd in the interview room but this is no longer the case.
I think looking at it as 'the poor being penalised' is wrong. Poor or wealthy, if you have the determination to achieve your goal then you'll get there, even if it takes you longer than posh joe bloggs.
If i'm 'lumbered' with my kids for an extra 10yrs so they can go to uni then I wouldn't begrudge that.
Any act of violence should be condemed, not condoned. Love or hate the Royals, an attack on 2 pensioners REGARDLESS of their standing in society is wrong on so many levels!
The acts on the cenotaph and Churchill were dispicable. Only animals can disrespect our fallen heroes and heroins like that and they should be utterly ashamed of themselves.
Rich or Poor, good manners, decency and respect cost nothing!
I know the numbers of violent thugs were small in comparison to those who protested peacefully but nevertheless, SOME of those violent scumbags WERE students. They are supposed to be the future of this country and if that's the case- God help us
Sorry, rant over [
