Where was you all when Labour was taking the country to the brink of bankruptcy? That is the reason tuition fees and cuts are taking place, but of course this is politically motivated by a left wing agenda.

And that is why the vast majority of the country do not support you.

The lefts answer to the huge amount of debt this country is in is more of the same.

[adycousins]

@SuperZuffle well done - 2 lies in one short comment: Lie number 1: labour caused the deficit. No, bailing out the banks caused the deficit. Germany has a defict problem even though it has a Tory govt. The UK deficit is not historically high compared to GDP. Lie 2: the majority don't support the students. In fact opinion polls show the majority support the students and oppose the fees rise. Less than half the electorate voted for the Con-Dems. Thats no mandate - thats why you resort to lies.

@adycousins I won't stoop to accuse you of lying but will correct your mistake.

Public spending under Labour rose whilst the private sector shrunk. The productive part of the economy was contracting while Blair and Brown spent millions on the unproductive part of the workforce.

The fact of the matter is that we are in a sorry state and right now need workers not students, lest the deficit crush us all.

[adycousins]

@su79nioj The accusation that Labour's policies caused the recession is a Tory lie. Unless of course you mean their total failure to effectively regulate the banking sector. If we need workers not students then how come unemployment is rising? The deficit is not anywhere as large as it has been for most of Britains history when measured against GDP.

[su79nioj]

@adycousins It's a fact, not a lie supported by the banks, IMF and ever major UK political party - even the Greens. At what - 12%? 15%? our deficit is higher than nations where the IMF has already been called in. Free enterprise works, and creates productive jobs.

[adycousins]

@su79nioj More nonsense, its not just a matter of % of GDP, UK debt is long term - ie there is no necessity to pay it back within months. Its and international crisis caused by the market you worship and prevented from becoming a catastrophe by the intervention of the public in the form of the state. The UK people should not be forced to pay the costs of bailing out the banks.

[adycousins]

In 1945 the deficit was over 240% of annual GDP yet we manged to create the NHS, the Welfare state and nationalise a number of industries whilst paying compensation

Brilliant speech by this young man, just hope he doesn't become a politician.

OCCUPY WALLSTREET

[stop1984now]

Labour betrayed us just have this vile coalition have, new parties will emerge out of the ashes of the revolution. The Pirate Party will gain ground, as it has in mainland Europe.

[drongovids]

@SuperZuffle The logical step one takes following an economic recession is not to increase student fees.

[drongovids]

Good speech save for your elitist comment about people doing a certain job you don't like because they didn't have a university education.

[lunaissoawesome]

@SuperZuffle We all know the banks caused all these cuts, the coalition government has gone too far with these cuts. why don't they get the bankers profits and put that back where it belongs into the system and not their pockets as you can see the coalition government are on the brink of destroying the community yes we can see that the government is failing to listen to the people of this country They are bringing this country to its knees but at a rate where it will not recover

[SuperZuffle]

@NelSpringrose Rather than being a pedantic little prick why not try answering the question posted? Where were, or where was! The point of the argument is still the same. Im not sure what point your trying to make! oh and you forgot a full stop after point.
