@DraconionDevil They think they're entitled to free university education. Rather than them paying to further their career prospects, they think everyone else who isn't going to have their career prospects improved by it or benefit from it in any way should have money taken off their wage slips and given to them to pay for a university degree.In other words, they're self entitled, psuedo-intellectual hipsters who would have been laughed out of existence in any other generation.
@Idlethumb88 When you say that they would be "laughed out of existence in any other generation" you fail to observe that in England university fees were exactly nil for the generation who are now in power in politics. I am currently working on an apprenticeship and so have no bias towards university whatsoever other than my firm belief that education available to all (suitable candidates of course) can be nothing but a good thing for a country.
@Samjarrett1 They want a degree purely to advance their financial potential. Why should other people who wont benefit from their degree have to pay to put them in a better financial position than themselves? If they want to advance their career and earning prospects, then they and they alone should have to invest in that idea.
@strats11 Oh, i know. I find it amazing that people call him intolerant and intimidating when he is literally one of the most patient people I've ever heard of haha
I think it's quite ironic when they protest against how much it costs to have an education, then they waste a bunch of people's money who have paid for that education. I think their cause is a good one, but at the same time their methods are horrific. British freedom and tolerance is a privilege, and these people just take it for granted and trample on this countries ethics.
The bottom line is what those people were protesting about is a lot more important than a Richard Dawkins talk.
Do we want to end up like the US where students have non-dischargable loans of $100,000+ simply to get a university education, and now have a bubble of $1 trillion student debt? Think about it hard.
@historypoliticsbb So you'll be fine with anyone with a valid complaint setting up camp in your yard, using your house without your permission, as long as they have an important issue to champion? There is a time and place for protesting, and this was not it.
Unless the protesters bought tickets like everyone else in that hall, they don't have the right to be there. Shame on them for not taking their complaints to whomever actually does the legislation.
@pinball1970 Basically their protesting about tuition fees and the inception of a new private university. Most likely they aren't religious but are pseudo-socialists... usually a middle class student who splashes out on the next apple accessory while simultaneously condemning any form of capitalism.
Of course they are completely right and are actually doing a great cause, unfortunately they come across as douchebags. I think they need to find a better way to get others on their side.
All you moaning about protests and riots etc word of advice Save your energy for 10 years down the line when there are less educated and developed youth/younger generations as a result of the rubbish legislations and policies passed through on our behalf. YOU lot will be the first to complain then but the Now your the first to stand against those brave enough to make a stand.
these type of brainless morons piss me off, they protest about things that they know nothing about, basically just because they just want something to whine about.
Interesting footage, but rather shabby you've not explained hy the protestors don't like the Humanist College. Of course, good protestors would make SURE everyone knew !
4:03 haha when they guy started talking everyone told him to fuck off then they realised he was actually telling the protesters off and the crowd was like ohhhh, YEH!
@trifulquita15 This Shit is colloquial for Stuff i.e. he is annoyed at them for ruining that which he payed for, what i don't understand is what these "peaceful protesters" are protesting, i can't make out anything that they are saying, except a bit of "SHAME ON YOU!"

These people seem to be protesting the rise in University tuition fee's and i agree with their views regarding tuition i myself was involved in the protests against the fee in london, but why the fuck did they bring it to a Dawkins lecture what ae these morons thinking they should have been at westminster and the con-dem headquaters like everyone else protesting against the people who were actually involved in the rising tuition.
I agree with freedom to express your thoughts and views through protests but I didn't get why they were there! What were they protesting about? I get it was about education but why we're they at a Richard Dawkins talk? O.o
University isn't even a right. It really is a privilege. It cant possibly be a right for those who don't meet the standards whilst at school. Education is a right until your 17/18. Then shit gets real and you pay for things you want.
@Samjarrett1 and that is unfortunate. Im not saying people cant go to uni. But it is a privilege and its unfortunate some people cannot afford to go. There are colleges people can attend to get further education at a cheaper rate, but you pay for prestige. Also there is scholarships available for gifted students. Or did you not think that through?
@robbo8890 There are scholarships available for the tiny minority but the fact remains that rich, less gifted people stand a better chance of attending university that those who are more gifted but who cannot afford to pay. I would argue that this is not the best way for a country to get the best out of its population.
@Samjarrett1 Well thats tough luck! Its not cheap to run a Uni. It doesn't happen for free. Its expensive. It might not be the best way, but do you suggest income assessments? Yes you can come to uni for free but you can't come for free because you make and extra £1000 over the capped "Free Uni" limit? Doesn't work like that. Its just unfortunate.
@mikemgw18 no but it does make it easier for them to go to university, regardless of whether there is a more deserving student with less money to their name, simply put, a degree doesn't mean anything if there are smarter people out there who are less qualified.
@robbo8890 your talking out of your arse, you can be a knuckle dragger and still get into Uni and a job at the end of it if your parents are loaded and well connected. Scholarships are a few peanuts thrown to the poor. All that matters to the Uni is that the student has the correct amount of currency
@lndac02 at what point did i say you wont get into uni if your stupid? its a luxury that some people can afford to give a degree a bash. good luck to them if they can afford it! But in some cases you are wrong. If there is a Uni programme that has 40 places and entry requirements. It wont be the richest that get in. There will be a cost for going to uni. But its not a fuckin auction that goes to the highest bidder. point still remains. uni is not a right. man the fuck up.
@doombow666 Well a new government had been elected and promised students to make university more affordable, however the government went back on their word and actually made university more expensive than it originally was. A lot of people now no longer have the opportunity to go to university, there was a lot of riots about this which I think was totally reasonable.
First of all, only one party in the current government promised to lower the tuition fee, the larger party did what it said it would do.
The number of people attempting to get into university has actually increased, indeed there aren't enough university spots for students.
If you think violence is the answer to anything you are a sad person, secondly they started out as protests but were hijacked by anarchists and other idiots.
@UndeadTurk dawkins backes something helping students or something, then done a talk for a university who was upping their fee's or something. i should have been a news reporter.
@skegpit entitled to a college education. And whats with all this "modern society" "mongoloids in the USA" condescending talk. The US is wealthier per capita then the UK
@MrJoviun Actually to my recollection Switzerland is in the same region (west Europe) and it has more households with firearms than the US. It also has way lower crime that Brittan, even lower than Japan.
If you really believe firearms in the hand of responsible citizens poses any risk you are a sheep. Guns keep people safe, an armed population is a free population
@Jamespot24 Do Americans actually believe this bullshit? It's a gun not a fucking political movement. We do have guns here, you can buy them for sports like clay pidgeon shooting and so on or pest control. The difference is we don't base our entire concept of freedom around them like you seem to. An armed population is a free population? No, not really. An armed population is just that, an armed population.
@Jamespot24 I have a hard time believing a guy (even if he is imaginary) whose major motto was love thy enemy and love thy neighbour wanted a bunch of rednecks to have guns so they can shoot people. I've never owned a gun and i've never found myself at the mercy of "whoever that wishes to impose their will onto them."
@youbetzler If the other person is armed pepper spray or a taser isnt going to do shit, probably just make the criminal madder.
The reason u rarely hear about guns saving lives or stopping crime is because its not a story when a store doesnt get robbed, or a family doesnt get murdered. But guns are used defensively 2 million times a year, the NRA says it themselves

@Jamespot24 It's clear this is a point we should just agree to disagree on. However I do agree the guns aren't fundamentally a bad thing. I've done a bit of target and clay pidgeon shooting, by no means am I an expert of course, but a gun on it's own is essentially an expensive hammer. Yes they can be misused but then again so can a chunk of flint.
@Nckcooley Well it makes sense u'd agree if you actually have gone shooting before. Even my liberal friends who have shot guns are typically not against them. Its usually the people who never fired a gun before and don't know much about it that will listen to the media and give into the fear.
But obviously I think criminals shouldnt be allowed to have them, but if you are 30-40 married have kids never committed a crime b4 im not threatened by u.
@Jamespot24 Jesus your mythological god is much too busy developing a monopoly of microscopic viral diseases to destroy you at this very moment. You better seek out science to save you not your fictitious fable of a god!?!?!
@lifeschild1 Idk what "seek out science" means. Does it mean conduct the experiments myself, because I doubt most people do that.
Does it mean looking up things online, learning about scientific theories. Leaning that before Christ came there were similar god's in Egypt that were like him.
@lifeschild1 Because I did look at up and I was like oh, well there are all these Egyptian god's that did what Christ did. They were never men or actually walked to earth, but still thats weird.
@lifeschild1 But I knew that Christ was prophesied by Isaiah, that Isaiah was found in the dead sea scrolls (dated 100 yrs BC) and that the book of Isaiah predates all the Egyptian god's.
@Jamespot24 i completely agree with you on the gun issue but the fact remains that gun crime is a major issue in the US yet not in Canada (for a whole heap of reasons), but as for crime in the US? you are completely wrong, the United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world 5% of the population and 25% of the worlds prisoners. There is a mountain of evidence to counter you argument i suggest you engage your mind and look up your point before you post it.
@MrJoviun I'm sick of people talking about "gun crime" while discarding overall crime. Of course if guns are banned suicide by gun will go down, i mean look at Japan they have no guns and no suicide by gun yet they have the highest suicide rate in the first world!So talk about overall crime!
Compare USA to Mexico, Mexico is way worse and u know the innocent people being killed by cartels wish they had the right to bear arms. Look at Rwanda where genocide happened with machetes
i love how when the guy stands on stage and addresses the crowd everyones like "go back to where you came from!" then he calls the demonstrators idiots and theyre all like "yeaaaah wwooooooo".
Letting the motives aside, why the heck would you demonstrate at a discussion which is held in a closed auditorium, filled with people that paid to see that? If you wanna get some attention, then do it in front of Live-TV-Camera's on a big event!
@cemalson lol you have a temper issue. What are you calling names at me for? Did I insult you? Were you part of this group? If you know what they were trying to say, then how come explain it to be in a civilized tongue?
5:40 I'm cringing watching this, such an embarrassing and pathetic parade of pampered twats. "Education is a right, not a privilege" - oh really? An actual right? So countries which don't provide free higher education are violating the rights of their citizens? What a load of shit.
@Riiye No I disagree with you there, I don't like their tactics or methods here but for a modern society to function and grow higher education is a must. To force out poorer people or push them into huge amounts of debt is not productive in the long term. Just think how much more positive things could have been done with the money spent on war with Iraq and Afghanistan and the many billions used to bail out the banking industry.
@SlightyDisturbedNBK There's nothing wrong with thinking HE is a must, but thinking it is a RIGHT is what annoys me. You do not have a human right to free university, it's just silly - particularly from these middle class twerps.
@SlightyDisturbedNBK if there was no banking industry there would be no point in going to university. there'd be no loans to start business's, no investment in government debt. why should a factory worker have to pay tax for a university student to go and study for free and have a much better life than the factory worker could ever dream of....?
unfortunately, political activism is sometimes used by stupid students as an excuse to be rebellious for the sake of being rebellious. There was no one in that room who opposed any of the things that these protesters thought that they were supporting so they shouldn't have tried to ruin the lecture.
And the "people being assaulted by police" was just pathetic of them to say.
@N64isgreat So you think education is a privilege not a right? Do you live in the UK? Are you aware of what situation students were in at that point in time? Nobody like ageist people.
@CounrtyGirl479 I am a student in the UK. I don't see how education is being limited to people. What point in time? What has this got to do with "ageist people".
All have sinned and greatly offended the holy God of the bible. The just punishment is death then Hell. that's not God's will. He became a man Jesus Christ and suffered and died on the cross paying for the law you broke in His

@MrJoviun Actually to my recollection Switzerland is in the same region (west Europe) and it has more households with firearms than the US. It also has way lower crime that Brittan, even lower than Japan.
If you really believe firearms in the hand of responsible citizens poses any risk you are a sheep. Guns keep people safe, an armed population is a free population
Jamespot24 1 month ago
@Jamespot24 Do Americans actually believe this bullshit? It's a gun not a fucking political movement. We do have guns here, you can buy them for sports like clay pidgeon shooting and so on or pest control. The difference is we don't base our entire concept of freedom around them like you seem to. An armed population is a free population? No, not really. An armed population is just that, an armed population.

The reason u rarely hear about guns saving lives or stopping crime is because its not a story when a store doesnt get robbed, or a family doesnt get murdered. But guns are used defensively 2 million times a year, the NRA says it themselves

@Jamespot24 It's clear this is a point we should just agree to disagree on. However I do agree the guns aren't fundamentally a bad thing. I've done a bit of target and clay pidgeon shooting, by no means am I an expert of course, but a gun on it's own is essentially an expensive hammer. Yes they can be misused but then again so can a chunk of flint.
Nckcooley 1 month ago
@Nckcooley Well it makes sense u'd agree if you actually have gone shooting before. Even my liberal friends who have shot guns are typically not against them. Its usually the people who never fired a gun before and don't know much about it that will listen to the media and give into the fear.
But obviously I think criminals shouldnt be allowed to have them, but if you are 30-40 married have kids never committed a crime b4 im not threatened by u.

Does it mean looking up things online, learning about scientific theories. Leaning that before Christ came there were similar god's in Egypt that were like him.

@Jamespot24 i completely agree with you on the gun issue but the fact remains that gun crime is a major issue in the US yet not in Canada (for a whole heap of reasons), but as for crime in the US? you are completely wrong, the United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world 5% of the population and 25% of the worlds prisoners. There is a mountain of evidence to counter you argument i suggest you engage your mind and look up your point before you post it.

@MrJoviun I'm sick of people talking about "gun crime" while discarding overall crime. Of course if guns are banned suicide by gun will go down, i mean look at Japan they have no guns and no suicide by gun yet they have the highest suicide rate in the first world!So talk about overall crime!
Compare USA to Mexico, Mexico is way worse and u know the innocent people being killed by cartels wish they had the right to bear arms. Look at Rwanda where genocide happened with machetes

Riiye 1 month ago
@Riiye No I disagree with you there, I don't like their tactics or methods here but for a modern society to function and grow higher education is a must. To force out poorer people or push them into huge amounts of debt is not productive in the long term. Just think how much more positive things could have been done with the money spent on war with Iraq and Afghanistan and the many billions used to bail out the banking industry.

unfortunately, political activism is sometimes used by stupid students as an excuse to be rebellious for the sake of being rebellious. There was no one in that room who opposed any of the things that these protesters thought that they were supporting so they shouldn't have tried to ruin the lecture.
And the "people being assaulted by police" was just pathetic of them to say.
