Well! 1. You keep writin' 'em, I'll keep readin' 'em. OK?
2. The British Gov't has no idea of the whole they have put themselves in. There will be a brain drain the likes of which no one has ever seen. Because British students will discover they can go abroad to study and not have to sell their first born to do it. And then they will decide to stay in the country they went to university in. Britain will loose out on their scientists, doctors, writers, law makers, inventors, engineers , politicians. Britain will stagnate.
3. Just because someone has money doesn't mean they are smart enough for uni.
4. They will have to close universities due to lack of attendance. Because the majority of people will go to uni outside of Britain. Where it's affordable.

My dear do NOT give up on your dream.Get through this year. Look around and see if there is any way you can attend uni in Canada. You might like Toronto. Toronto would like you. You may have to delay your plans by a year or so, BUT DO NOT GIVE UP!
Now go have a merry Xmas, all this awful RL angst must be doing you in. Go see badly_knitted and help her dry out her stuff.
XOXOXO

He bloody annoying this is it only covers English students; welsh and Scottish students will have the extra amount paid for them by their own government :/
It's kinda ridiculous since over half of Scotland and Wales are unemployed or retired, and English tax payers' money goes towards their government :/ (I'm not being offensive to Scottish or Welsh people or Northern Irish for that matter, I'm part scottish myself :/)
And you have to have lived in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland for three years to be a citizen :/
But hopefully it won't pass through Parliament. At my youth group on Sunday we had a long discussion about this, (I also do A-Level Law) and apparently before Labour got voted out of Government they replaced 60% of the House of Lords with Labour (MPs/supporters) and Lavour have said that they would not vote in favour of this, and you need 50% of the House of Lords to not agree with a bill (a potenial Law) for it not to be able to pass through Parliament. And they can't use the Parliament Acts 1919 and 1944 (I think lol) to overrule the House of Lords since we joined the EU haha lol.
A potential law can only go through Parliament twice and if rejected again on the second time they can't put it through Parliament again for another 12 years lol.
So hopefully this'll happen :D

I am going to step in and say that I, as an English student, completely support what the Welsh and Scottish Government are doing. I know, living in Cardiff, that the Welsh Assembly Government was deeply unhappy with the proposals to treble the fees, and worked actively against it. The Liberal Democrat MP for my area of Cardiff actually resigned from her post (in the government, not actually as an MP) over the fact that she was disgusted by the vote. I know that, if they could, the WAG would subsidise the fees of everyone coming into their country to go to University (they're not paying the fees, just subsidising them - so the students will pay as much as we pay now). I don't think that this is wrong - they disagree with what is happening, and they are doing their level best to protect the children in their country. They can't protect us as well. Westminster should be safeguarding English students, but they are not. All the WAG are doing is exactly what Westminster should be doing and isn't.

And that's Westminster's fault entirely. I always will fully support the WAG for trying to protect its children's futures.

H god I just re-read my post. I came off as awful *facepalm*
I agree with you completely, I think my jealousy came off a bit strong lol *sheepish smile*
Luckily they have the WAG :) and they fare about their students not just the ones who are rich, and the runny thing is most or these people got free degrees :/
The thing about the tax payers' was a quote from a friend of line not really my opinion *sheepish smile*
I really hope the Labour pople in the House of Lords are able to put off this stupid bill :(

I know you're just cross. I am too. I think I made a comment the other day about throwing a brick at David Cameron's head - it wasn't nice, but hey, sometimes strong emotion isn't all rosy.
