Sure, but I was meaning more the fact that lots of money is spent on the UK essentially meddling in affairs that we don't have the right to, if we're so desperately needing money it seems to me that the logical thing would be to halt all non-essential activities (such as being in Afghanistan and Iraq) before resorting to increases like the proposed student fee one - whilst it's still unfair on students to have to pay significantly more for the same service, at least the government would have taken measures to try and prevent it getting to that stage. This proposed increase just seems grossly unfair because there's been no apparent effort to save money in other, less essential areas.
