1. Aaron @ 1:28 “Being so dumb I still can’t gather from this civilized debate whether it is a good thing or bad that UK government increased university tuition 3 times w/o adequate tax cuts. Can anyone explain?”
   Maybe if they cut taxes the tuition would have gone up 5x. Or maybe they could just shut down all post secondary education. I generally agree with a cut watse/lower taxes strategy but the UK in general is in so deep right now that no amount of cuts will stimulate the economy enough to cover the deficit (never mind start paying down debt). Higher taxes and less spending on services (and no entitlements) is a must. Actually, the US is in pretty much the same state and Canada isn’t far behind. Time to pay the piper.

2. Two things seem to be apparent.
   1) Britain needs to draft Carlton Leach for Prime Minister.
   2) Either there are subversive forces inside the royal protection body guards who are intentionally allowing Prince Charles and Camilla to be vulnerable, or
   this incident with Charles and Camilla was orchestrated by the royal family in cooperation with security forces in order to provide a publicity backlash against the anarchist rioting.

3. bartinski: What does that have to do with people rioting over actually having to pay for really expensive services?
   These kids aren’t attacking the frauds like Gore and Suzuki; they’re attacking “the Tories” and demanding that “the average guy” get taxed more in order to give them free university educations… which they will completely and utterly waste.
   (On the grounds that those who aren’t complete worthless douchefaces who will simply waste the time getting a valueless degree, learning nothing, and hitting on clueless anarchist girls are the one who aren’t rioting.)
   (Me, my truck’s worth about $3000, and my house cost me under $100k, though it’s worth more now.
   If the “average guy” is buying a $50k truck he’s overbuying, since that’s “top-end optioned-out class-3 diesel” or “brand new long-wheelbase Sprinter” territory.
   I dunno about you, but around here even the average contractor doesn’t need to tow a 20 ton trailer…
   And outside of the Bay Area or other now-busting bubble areas, “average guys” don’t buy $300,000 houses either.)

4. Remember when Great Britain had to “go it alone” and survive the Battle of Britain?
   I’m sure those punks don’t either.

5. I have a great deal of sympathy for the current generation of students. The ones who are now making the rules basically got their eduction for free, created a society where you basically need a degree to get just about any job, then stuck this generation with the bill for their excess.

6. minuteman nailed it.
   Remember, Canada used to give people 100 acres of land and 30 bags of seeds for just coming here to live. I want my free 100 acres too.
   Also Canada is so snug and full of it when it boasts about non-discrimination. How’s prohibited firearms grandfathering is not discrimination by age and national origin? Immigrants who came over after 1998 can’t enjoy the same lifestyle as those who were here just 1 day earlier.
   Before you become eligible to blame the rest of the world and rest of population, at least do something to get your own house in order.

7. These students don’t believe their education is worth the cost of tuition, so they should do something they do find worthwhile. Jerks.

8. The lefty’s have had it right all along, impose collective communism all over the globe and you will no longer have any “rich people”!
   There will also be no war, no gangs, plenty of food, water and lentils for all…………. Ha ha ha.
   Everyone including the “unelected director” of each region (once called a country), will ride their solar powered bicycle to work their 12 hour, non benefit equal pay job, day in and day out with happy Ritalin induced smiles.
   Like clockwork the trains will run on time, and every African goat herder will be first in line for newly available CEO positions in the robust global economy. The rich will be the new labourers, ground under the heels of the once oppressed. Yea, what a dream………

9. Here is criticism from the end results of the UK’s disastrous education system from the people who have to hire them, the business owners.
   “The CBI found that 18 per cent of firms had invested in remedial training for workers in literacy and numeracy, up from 15 per cent in 2008.
   Its report added: “Employers do not expect schools, colleges and universities to produce ‘job-ready’ young people — they recognise it is their responsibility. But at the very least, young people must enter the labour market literate, numerate and employable.”
   Of graduates, the report said that a quarter of companies were dissatisfied with their problem-solving skills and a similar number were unimpressed by their self-management. A fifth said that graduates had limited careers awareness.
   Job applications from young people were too often “slapdash, containing spelling mistakes, omissions and errors”.

   This is also happening here in NA as the education industry allied with governments entices many “students” into their universities who are totally unqualified to be there, preaches you need a degree for a decent job, then spits them out after shaking them down and we wonder why these young people are dismayed and maybe a little angry with their now worthless degrees and a huge debt?
   In the early 60s only a tiny handful of people I know went on the university yet these high schoolers became CAs, company owners, nurses, master electricians, directors, VPs, techies etc. It seems all the teachers I know went to university and we know how that turned out, enough said.
