Demonstrations in London descended into violent chaos today after 50,000 students took to the streets to protest higher university fees introduced as part of Britain's new austerity measures. Meanwhile, US students are paying much higher tuition costs, so why are students in America not taking to the streets to protest like their English counterparts? Student Activist Eugene Puryear believes the challenge for young Americans to reach the level of European protests.

  • 50 thousand $ for fee?? university is not only for rich people.. the usual American injustice

  • silly news reporter.

    she doesn't realise that american graduates make huge amounts of money, whereas UK graduates are lucky to find a job.

    furthermore, she doesn't realise that US unversities have a huge bursary system for poorer students, which is much better than that which exists in the UK.

    also, loans are more easily accessible in the US to cover fees. in the UK, there are many students who are not allowed to have a loan, and need to pay their fees upfront.

  • @TheCommenter01 we like having a high quality health service though, as is the case with virtually any country with a free health system.

  • @33LB well maybe you shouldn't have a free health care system then maybe your country will have a bit more money.
