Turn around, and see the circles we spin,
Takin' our chances on where we begin,
Up above, the rain is falling on me,
Life is for living and living is free ..

The government has just announced that, despite hopes of a U-turn, tuition fees will increase to £6-9000 per year. This follows the announcement not too long ago expressing the governments aim for 55% of the population to go to university, which seems rather an ambitious goal now.
One of the most annoying things, and one which is making frequent appearances on facebook, is the portrayal of students by the government as being very ill-informed and lacking a grasp on how the new plan will pan out, which is an insult as well as being ironic; seeing as many can no longer afford university and their chance to learn and become better-informed is now gone.
The other kick in the tits was seeing Vince Cable's name on the list of MP's who approved.
As such, police are holding back heavy protests in Westminster; there's a vid on BBC news of police horses charging the crowds to disperse them. As the reporter himself says, images like these would seem more feasible in the miner strikes in the 80's. Tense stuff.
