Thank you for some sanity Boltar. And, let us not forget that this is
about teenagers who believe they are entitled to an education paid for
by the labor of working taxpayers.

Education is expensive in the United States. Parents and their
offspring are finding creative ways to deal with the cost. Several
Caribbean colleges now have US students attending bachelors=92 courses.
And, let us not forget India has outstanding medical schools and very
reasonable cost.

These punks need to lose their entitlement mentality. The UK needs
students who will stand up and be adults, not underdeveloped urchins
sucking at the state mammary gland.

To be fair , I don't begrudge univeristy education being free or at least
subsidised to a large extent. Given I had a partial grant myself I'd be
a hypocrite if I said otherwise. Though I think some intellectually and
vocationally useless courses - golf management studies and similar nonsense -
should be fully paid for by the student.

My beef is with the people on these marches who seem to think the right to
demostrate is the right to smash the place up and while most of these idiots
weren't students its quite obvious a lot were like that son of some famous
rock star who climbed on the cenotaph. And then they have the bloody gall
to whinge when the police treat them like the animals they are and cage
them. Well tough bloody luck. If you can't take it don't dish it out.
