  2. How is it not justified ? These students.. that is, all universities are actually publically owned? It is owned by the state. They are not private universities. It is funded by the public sector. So therefore... the gentleman was basically protesting that he has to pay around 3 times as much. I remember this.. it was that year whereby they reduced the actual 3k....into 9k per year... It turned into a 27k a year !!! I think it was just like a 1k per year... (and with maintenance to the low income kids)... into a 6 or 7k a year. Then into the 9k a year. When it was just 3k a year, people still either get a maintence grant as well as working part time to substitute into a full wage and salary, cos you still have to pay for accomodations. When it was 27k... that was unsustainable at that time unless your parents was earning a lot for this ? Many families doesn't do it then. And they stopped their actual kids from going to uni at that point. And do not forget... university lecturers also get an actual pension pot as well.... If nobody gives back to the public pot, then it doesn't work. I did some basic calc. The most that people could earn in their entire lifetime then was a mere around 250k.. for their entire 45 years of working.... If costs are kept low as well. But now... what used to be a weekly shop of around a mere 5 pound, has now turned into a 20 pound per day. Or around a whopping... 100 pound per week !!!! 20 times increase ! And this is not including the actual energy issue as well. It used to be around a mere 520 a year, into the current 1500 per year cap. In some cases it is around 2500 !!! That does not include the excesses that does not exist in your life time before. Like mobile phones per year costs didn't exists. The cost of medical prescriptions before did not exist. Transportation costs did not exist before. Not in this amount. And now every single of these items are not even locked down. Cos foreign investments kept fluctuating a lot as well ? And they did not even actually close down things either. People kept selling bad items and marketing as well.. marketing bad things... here or there. And diluting things all around too... Can a 70 million country have around a whopping 60 million company owners ? Who are all fighting for the same 70 million market ??? And expecting all of them to be earning in the millions ? Does the maths add up? It does not add up.
