National Walkout Against Fees 24.11.10

you're a tosser cobbles.
I've never insulted anyone on here before I don't think, so you should probably feel proud.

any kid who walks out of schools risks temporary or possibly permanent exclusion for it.

For many 6th formers/college students from deprived backgrounds, the £30 EMA makes the difference between being able to do a-levels/nvq's and not being able to do them.
For many 6th formers/college students from deprived backgrounds £3,000 in fees and the debts that will produce stops them from applying for university, and that number will only increase if/when they raise the fees to £9,000.

Do you think that further and higher education should only be for people from wealthy backgrounds?
 
yeah I know. I never respond to his car crap in transport. I knew he was troll even as I was replying to the post, but I replied anyway.
I should have just said:

0/10
but unfortunately it's evident that he scored somewhat higher than that. :(

On the other hand, why should I have to pay so that some muppet who clearly didn't have the basic smarts to gather in a load of toilet paper (current dumbed down A level exam "passes" are somewhat suspect) during their first 5 years at high school wastes another year dredging up enough D "passes" to spend 3 years at some crap ex-Poly studying "Meeja"?

Fine if folk want a 3 year holiday - no problem - just dont whinge about having to face the reality of paying for it.

Some real universities clearly can't provide a quality education for 3 grand a year so what's wrong with allowing them to charge the full cost?

Nothing.

As well as risking getting kicked out students who walk out on the 24th will lose that week's EMA.
 
I posted the link about our walkout to a friend. She replied by saying she'd be in lectures then but she could come along when they were finished :facepalm:
 
I can find zero information about anything happening at my uni. Their NUS website is shite, and has nothing at all. On facebook all they have is an Ents group, no main NUS group. There is a campaigns group, which was updated once ahead of the 10.11.10 demo, and before that nothing since 2008. I've emailed the president asking if they have anything planned and haven't received a reply. They are a shower of motherfucking shit.
 
Update: please circulate.
