@morry27 First off clean up your dirty mouth. It is clear you did not learn proper English speaking. Secondly we all know that the country is broke. The whole dam world is broke. The people you speak to that say that the students are 'spoiled wankers' shows a lack of a good education right there my dear. They are standing up for what they NEED!!! You say, 'GO GET A JOB?' THEY CAN'T WITHOUT A GOOD EDUCATION AND that is why they are protesting in the first place. Now do you get it ? Good.

The Young people of the world have a vision and see the world as a new and wonderful place. The old and rich see the world as an opportunity to ensnare the young and ignorant and usurp them and draw their juices as a wine harvester would draw the juice from vat of grapes. The old and poor sit back and watch from armchairs and do nothing but scoff at the young and their vision because they're already dead, and awaiting their time to die. The young people of this world have the right to fight.

@TheJohnlennongirl where is your punctuation cunt? Just because of what you think a dirty mouth doesn't mean you can go around telling people how to talk.

if you earn £21K per annum how much do you have to pay back?

@JDSabre there's the national union of students, or NUS website.

@edjthompson Excuse me but do you know how much more we would pay back if we were to take a bank loan??! My parents have worked all their lives and couldn't afford to pay for my uni fee's but the amount of tax they have both payed since they were 16 (dad is now 50 mum 47) works out that they have already payed for my education!

@morry27 Your calling a student thick??! How do you think we got to university? By working hard getting A'levels that's how some of us harder than others, some of us working so hard it almost led to a nervous break down just so we can have a better education and better future prospects, where do you come from? Do you have no self pride or worth? Bet you failed all your exams and decided to be a dolie which btw will stop to!

I was there the first few hits at the tory HQ, and left quickly after, I remembered seeing innocent people getting hurt by police when protests have turned sour. I remember someone firing a flare towards the building too.

Virtually no media attention to your protest here in America. The stations that did mention it said 'hundreds' protested. Looks to me like hundreds of thousands! Good luck with your fight, kids, I'm rooting for you.

I wonder why people in Europe protest for better health care, more jobs and a cleaner environment?

@morry27 magnificently? yeah. switching their numbers, hiding their faces, manipulating the press and students, inciting violence and unnecessarily causing pain and suffering is truly magnificent, something we want every British citizen to do, along with be uneducated and lose their jobs to better qualified competition from other countries. get a life troll.

@morry27 you, my friend, need to stop wishing your own personal desires upon other people.
