Bit off the mark imo.also on a side note, these students are protesting the fact the that the government is going to cut the amount of subsidising for univeristy fees, thus students will have to pay more of their own way for education, whether thats right is your own opinion....... what makes me laugh is. 99% of students go to university to get a qualification, so they can earn more money in the real world..... and cunting leftists and anarchists jump into the argument, claiming to be on the side of the students, when most students are model capitalists in the making.
Most buisness students come from Oxbridge, and the the top 10% of the Universities in England, which already out cost the poorer students due to hall costs and loans not covering the cost. Therefore instilling a class system to uni's, even though they have an equalities policy. These Uni's also make ALOT of money through research etc. Just a side note there. The students that go to these uni's don't get loans as well, so it doesn't affect them.
This policy will affect what is known as increasing participation universities. The EMA is being cut by 80%, these unis don't have the research money 'cos they were set up to increase paricipation and take money from the EMA set aside for the I.P unis. This is a problem because they'll have to put up fees, puttin off the poorer students the target of I.P unis. Therefore lowering money coming into the uni's, meaning the uni's will close. Any guess what most people come out of IP unis with? Teaching/Nursing/Social Work degrees. So it doesn't affect the buisness students, but the Public sector ones.
Another point, ALL major three parties have used student votes, Labour in the 90's Tory 2005 and Lib Dems recently, and gone back on it. Students have been lied to for years they have every right to riot IMO
