They've got a cheek!

So the students are revolting again (pardon me, but I've always found the majority of them revolting!). Not only are they causing a whole lot of inconvenience to people who have to live or work in the areas where they are holding their protests, but they are also taking up police resources which cost those of us who pay council tax and taxes an enormous amount of money which is in pretty short supply at present. Then there is also the cost of injury and damage that they cause to innocent policemen, members of the public and property too. The majority of these students haven't even begun to pay money into the system yet as they are at school, college or university, so why should they think it's alright to incur huge bills on those of us who do pay?
The students (and some of the university lecturers) are demonstrating about the fact that the government is withdrawing some of the maintenance funding and increasing the tuition fees so that anyone who goes to university will either have to have extremely rich parents, or have a huge debt when they leave but which they will not have to start repaying until they earn a certain level of wages. The government has said that there will be some support for students from low income families so that they can receive a university education.
TOUGH! Have this lot not heard that our economy is in an extremely precarious position and that EVERYONE is having to make sacrifices. I haven't heard that they've come out to protest about bankers receiving large bonuses, footballers being paid obscene salaries or television personalities clawing in huge wage packets.
The problem with a lot of people in this country is that they have lived up to their necks in debt for so many years with easy credit that things have now got totally out of control. Everything has been dropped into the laps of many people with very little effort on their part and although I don't agree with everything this government is doing, I think that the input from two parties is far better than the alternatives.
I am quite sure that those demonstrating today won't be very pleased if they discover in years to come that they have to foot the bill for today's excesses and have to endure even more cutbacks. Wake up and smell the coffee! Spending money we don't have will not work.
