10.11.10 - Demolition.

There's no point you marching around with signs, only come next election for you to vote for more of the exact same.

Apparently, if UKIP are against any fees, then they will just turn us in to Greece.

Plans by the coalition to raise the cost of tuition fees to up to £12,000 a year have been condemned by Young Independence Chairman Michael Heaver.

Responding to Business Secretary Vince Cable’s praise for Lord Brown’s University reform report, Michael Heaver responded by saying that “students now know where they stand with the Liberal Democrats”.

“It is sick to think that Nick Clegg proudly stood before the election in front of students as Liberal Democat Leader, saying that tuition fees were wrong”, said Heaver.

“Now with the glint of power in his eye, Clegg, Cable and the Liberal Democrats, in co-ordination with the Tories, have turned their back on affordable education.

“UKIP’s policy of supporting the abolition of tuition fees and bringing back student grants is the right one. We should scrap targets and only those who really need to go to University should, but it is fundamentally wrong that those who do so come out in such huge amounts of debt.

Heaver concluded: “These proposals are going to see even less people from poorer backgrounds go to University as they face such daunting burdens of debt before they even secure a job. Young people are going to be neck deep in debt, in a country with poor education standards and that doesn’t even have a proper Parliament thanks to the EU’s domination of our legislature.

“Things really are looking bleak for our young people, which is why UKIP need to continue pushing our vision of a brighter future for our young people”.

The grants system, although it would mean that overall we have less people going to university - but that is a good thing, at the moment we have too many so called 'mickey mouse' courses running and people who aren't suited to university are going to university because they feel as though there is little option. The education system overall is a mess and successive governments have tinkered around with it doing little to make it much better, first off the grammar system needs to return and work our way up from there.

But what i'm saying is, there are other options out there - there's no point people kicking up a fuss when they are going to go back to the ballot box come next election, and vote to continue the status quo.

Get over it, earn some money or get a loan. We can't go on being spoonfed by the government

I'm going because I voted Lib dems, and I feel done by that they went back on one of their promises, the main one that made me vote them. I'm leaving 11:45PM tonight from Edinburgh.

In some ways I agree with you - but loans are costly.
