A message to the protesting students

Most decent civilised people would have felt as disgusted as I did at the wanton violence and destruction of property that occurred during yesterday's demonstrations in London. We are lucky to have a democracy which allows people to demonstrate peacefully but yesterday's demonstration has probably alienated a larger proportion of the voting population against the 'students' than those 'students' who have vowed not to vote for the Liberal Democrats. I sincerely hope that the government does not do a U-turn on the increase of tuition fees and perhaps they should make an additional annual statutory charge to all students which could then be kept by to pay for any damage caused as a result of violent demonstrations in the future.
Not one of those involved in yesterday's demonstration gave a thought to the thousands of pensioners who have worked hard all their lives and paid taxes which have allowed these students to receive a free education, free health treatment and a lot of their parents have probably received state benefits in the form child benefit, tax credits, housing benefits and in the past, income support for single mothers. Not only have these pensioners funded all this for you but many of them now have to try to live on the breadline because there have been no real increases in the state pension for many years and many are also paying tax even now on very modest occupational pensions. Meanwhile you continue with your hedonistic lives at university and you haven't paid a penny into the pot and I know from the last job that I had, many of you doing non-academic degrees never will. Instead, you will probably end up squatting in somebody else's property, more than likely dabbling with various substances, legal or otherwise, while claiming jobseeker's allowance and being too scruffy and smelly for any employer to want to interview you let alone employ you. Trust me, I know, I've seen it all.
The damage done to property yesterday comes to hundreds of thousands of pounds as does the bill for policing and all of this has to be paid by the taxpayer. All this at a time when many of the people in this country are going to have to do without many services such as schools, hospital facilities, libraries, care for the elderly etc. I could go on.
Those of you responsible for the disgraceful violence yesterday do not deserve a university place. If you think the fees here will be high then I suggest you find out how much it would cost you in the USA, especially in any of the ivy league colleges.
Oh, and one more thing, I noticed that there were quite a few spelling errors on some placards so perhaps you also need basic skills tests especially as many ten year olds can do better than you.
