I am against the proposed increase in fees and cuts in the budget... it just isn't fair. I believe free education is a right... although I understand that is not possible. I do not believe it should be completly unfunded by the government, when billions are spent on what I see as unjustifiable spending like trident.

I wasn't having a go at you and glad you joined in. This thread was kind of missing the point when it rambled on about how they were protesting instead of why.
re: public education... most see it as a pipe dream and most countries have a mix of private and public uni education. I guess the issue in the UK with all the cuts to expenditure means that politicians are looking at making some short term saving today but by underfunding what is a massive public investment they are robbing themselves in the future.
