It would seem we are in partial agreement on this one, however one has to ask what are our priorities?? Are we to concentrate our resources on the necessary professions, or write a blank cheque for all students even though some of the degrees are of a frivolous, and quite frankly questionable quality?? I think not. Students like the rest of us have to face up to the real world.

08:4483288A good post Jimmy.
Let's also not forget that the debt that accumulates doesn't have to be paid off until they are earning good money, so then they can afford it. If they never find a good, well-paid job, they don't have to pay it back - so where's the problem ?

09:0283292Going back to the original post.
this was about our vince cable, prior to election together with his leader they pledged to oppose the rise in fees.
once in govt they both decided the pledge meant nothing(even though people eleted them on this very active campaign)
closer to the vote vince said he might abstain if the lib dems made a collective decision to oppose the fees which they were mandated and elected on.
then more recently he has decided again he will now vote FOR the fee increases.
this is the cobbled together govt at its worst.
falling apart, not knowing what to do.
one day thinking my god i might lose me seat better pretend to support the electorate then next day saying sod yer i dont care im voting with the govt.
as iv said many times this is the beginning of the end of this cobbled together govt and the lib dems will be destroyed at any future election

09:1383296Keith - you and so many in Labour simply refuse to accept the realities of coalition politics.
remember - the Browne Report, was commissioned by Labour, you lot would be doing nothing different.

13:4783329Coalition Governments can and do work - it's not coalition that is the problem, those challenges can be worked through. What can't and won't be worked through or forgotten are the volte-face by the yellows. Clegg, Cable et al are going to face a mighty void at the next elections and really, truly, madly mis-judged this.

At last your voice of reason, yep the lib dems have misjudged a number of issues, and the fall outs becoming more and more obvious.
lib dems cant work out if they want to be part of a govt, or there usual wooly sit on the fence type.
the public who had put a little in faith in them are now crying for an election.
and simon hughes hasnt warmed up his attack on his party leaders yet, hes given a few warning shots
