EMA is a waste of time. If you wan to help students then give them free bus travel and get the colleges to provide them with books. Don't give them £30 a week to spend on whatever they like.

@TomJous What do you mean? It was the Tories who cut EMA, not Labour?

[SRPC21]

The fact is the majority took the piss and spent it on living the student lifestyle of petrol, driving lessons, cigarettes and booze. What this guy's saying sounds good and I know he has good intentions but only the very few will suffer properly. I had to get a part time job when I was at college, it was hard but it's the real world and people have become too used to getting free money in the UK.

if they wanna cut something cut income support for those who sit at home all day not doing nothing rather than just watching tv and getting paid by those who work hard and where does all that money go it goes for those who are fat lazy cunts who cant be asked to work...

This government is very anti-youth, as the rise in tuition fees and cutting of EMA will severely disadvantage young people from succeeding. Yet, winter fuel allowance is still being paid to elderly people who are too wealthy to need it. If the government wishes to cut a service that is beneficial to young people in one hand, in another they need to also reduce unnecessary non-means tested financial assistance for the old. The Coalition is fast creating a divide between young and old in the UK.

If you did a bit of research and knew what you were on about then you'd know how it's expected to be paid back.

I find it hilarious that people openly expresses communist views, ( for all or for no one ) but if we lived in communism, they would completely hate it... Personally, I think E.M.A is positive and very advantageous for this country to improve in the future.
