  • Well done Clare.

    Debt shouldn't be a normal part of life. "Skeleton" services should not be what we pass on to the younger generation. The "austerity regime" is a way of plugging the deficit that attacks the poor, the working class and students the hardest, and protects the profits of the bosses and rich business. Cameron increased the tax of bank profits from 0.04% to a whopping.... 0.07% (but at the same time reduced corporation tax and effectively cancelling out that increase. SHocking

  • Brilliant job Clare. You demolished the smug, dishonest Tory mouthpiece... and fielded Jeremy Vine's blatant, snidey bias. And kept your temper. Bravo.

  • Claire Solomon isn't the right person to be representing students. I'm sure she has our best interests at heart, but if you're going to win an argument like this one you need someone who can put forward a better argument than she does. Making snide comeback comments like 'well maybe the education system isn't very good then' isn't going to win you any supporters when our education system is one of the best in the world.

  • We tell our kids, "Get a good education and then get a good job." Biggest lie you can tell. First of all, education today is not what it used to be and how many millionaires does a good job produce? Fuk a job, start a closet repair business.

  • nicely done Claire, the more I here you speak the more I completely support you. We are currently occupying the Senate at the University of Kent in protest. Thanks for voicing truth, and justice.

  • Jeremy vine is trying to make Clare Solomon look irresponsible and violent he concentrates only on the violence as does MP Roger Gale. These guys have all had a subsidised education and now they don't want any one else to get the same.

  • Amazed what a tool the BBC commentator is.

  • Correction - Establishment GOONS
