THIS is what a mob of London student rioters did to the place I work several times a week when I am not at Parliament. THIS is where HUNDREDS of GOOD people work ALL week. My boss, who is an amazing man, was BARRICADED in 30 Millbank for HOURS watching helplessly with everyone else as these violent CRIMINALS destroyed their place of work. Several people were injured thankfully none seriously.
AND FOR WHAT?! They sit in their classrooms and their dorms, and eat off their meal plan that is largely provided BY WHO?! They want to riot, injure, and destroy because they don't want to pay 9000 pounds for amazing educations?! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!
I'm sorry, but WHERE THE HELL DO THEY GET OFF?! "Well it's the governments JOB to pay for my education." "But the government has ALWAYS paid all but 3000 pounds for my education!"
Wanna know what else the government USED to do? A lot of fucking stuff that everyone is GLAD they don't do anymore.
THE WORLD IS IN AN ECONOMIC CRISIS! I'm sorry, but when the luxuries people have always enjoyed drive the economy into a god forsaken hole, WHAT ELSE CAN BE DONE?! No one wants to make students have debt. NO ONE. And ESPECIALLY not the Conservative Party.
Want some advice student bitchers? DEAL. You can't afford an education now? Do better in school and get a scholarship. Can't get a scholarship? GET A JOB AND SAVE YOUR MONEY. Earn your way. You are NOT entitled to an amazing education just because you think you ought to be. Sorry guys, BUT YOU AREN'T THAT SPECIAL.
The government can only do SO much. The government DOES what it can the BEST it can. What other options are being suggested? WHAT?!
I worked my ASS off at two jobs this summer. I HATED one of them. HATED it. But I did what I could to help pay my way to the education I wanted. Do MY parents make an obscene amount of money? HELL NO. Do you think me and my family could afford a $44,000 a year education without working for it? NO. I bust my ASS every summer. I work EVERY semester while taking 18 hours of HARD classes, and do I complain? NO. I know that I have the satisfaction in knowing I have EARNED every single piece I get. EVERY SINGLE PIECE.
IT IS INSANE to suggest a government in such poor condition could afford to pay every student's way through college. IT CAN'T HAPPEN. This crisis shouldn't be a huge surprise. Obviously if more money goes out than comes in, cuts MUST be made. It's simple economics that even I understand.
And the argument that it's not the students' fault the government is in a hole? IT DOESN'T MATTER! EVERY single person in the WORLD is dealing with the SAME thing. EVERYONE. What makes English students so much more special that they can have their cake and eat it too while no one else can? Answer? THEY AREN'T!
Learn to EARN. The students' cause is LOST by STUPIDITY. They think the Coalition is going to be sympathetic to the cause now? FUCK NO. YOU ALL BELONG IN PRISON NOT IN A SCHOOL! YOU'RE LUCKY THE GOVERNMENT DOESN'T DO EVERYTHING IT USED TO DO OTHERWISE YOU WOULD ALL HAVE BEEN SHOT!!!! Dead. On the street. With your cause.
That is all.....for now.
