No Ifs, No Buts, No Education Cuts

Well David Cameron, are you listening?
Nick Clegg, don't think your off scot free, you backed out on a pledge against rises in University education fees. You lied to to your supporters who hoped for compromise, you let them down in the worst way possible. Some of these supporters are parents who want their children to have an affordable and worthwhile higher education - too expensive and the exerience is no longer worthwhile.

Forget losing sleep over your own financial problems, it will soon be over your own child who is starting life as an independent adult admidst the stress of finding work that will pay back the loans and also pay the bills for their new life.

What you don't understand Mr Cameron and Miss Mr Clegg is that education shouldn't come at a price as extortionate as that, we human beings have a right to a higher education should we want it, we choose to remain in education for 3 years to learn and gain more knowledge and the skills for expertise in our fields of specialities. Without this we cannot get jobs and build careers which make us happy and earn a respectable living.

It is clearly a case of forgetting about the people and looking out for your own backs it seems. The rich getting richer and getting a education they may not deserve or want and the poor getting poorer missing out on vital experiences and services to get them a degree when they have worked so hard to gain grades they need, but miss out purely because they don't have the money to go further and hone their academic talents.

To be honest guys you haven't really thought it through have you? Job cuts, higher taxes; raising the tuition fees isn't balancing the problem out. There is some level of idiocy involved if you think you can cut the number of jobs (which pay people funnily enough) and then raising the cost of things. For money to go in, it has to come out.

So here I speak for my generation and younger friends who now have an uncertain future and also for the parents of young children like my 10 and 6 year old cousins who now have the strain of saving money to let their children make something of themselves and also the risk of further rises in tuition fees.

Well, if your willing to raise it now then there is every chance you could do it in a few further years isn't there? You are typical politicians, we know when you're lying because your mouths move.
