University Fees

Judging by what I've seen on the news and on twitter the demonstration against university fees going up has caused a lot of chaos. Maybe they haven't got about in the right way, causing fires and smashing up the Millbank tower. But they do have the right to be heard, and us in the younger generation deserve the right to go to university regardless of how much we earn. How much debt are we going to be in if tuition fees go up to £9000 a year? From tuition fees alone after 3 years that will be £27000 worth of debt without maintenance loans on top of this.
The Tories have caused so many problems since they came to power, but is it right that we blame them? They had the majority of the votes, so surely we can blame this partially on the general public? As for the Lib Dems, Nick Clegg is a complete joke and is only in it for himself. All through the election campaigns he banged on about university fees and helping students. Now he's turned his back on us and gone back on all his promises. Did he just promise this as he knew the students would be clueless who to vote for? We'll never know but now as he is Cameron's ally we have no choice but to sit back and watch students spiral into more debt.
I'm applying for university at the moment, and apparently this fees problem won't affect me as I'm starting in 2011. Knowing Cameron he'll make it affect everyone, but even if it doesn't I know several people who will be applying for 2012 and I don't feel it's fair that they should have to pay nearly triple what people pay nowadays. This is completely ridiculous. There are people claiming benefits just because they are too lazy to work, but us who want to better ourselves in life are going to get in serious debt doing so. Surely this isn't what the world should be coming to? We should be the ones getting help, not those too bone idle to do anything.
As I'm only in college for 5 hours a week I cannot get child benefits as I need to be in college for longer. I'm also unemployed, but I can't get jobseekers allowance because I'm in education. Why can't I get any money from the government and then there's people getting their houses paid for, their food paid for and probably their drug habits paid for. This country needs to change and until it does it's going to go on a downward spiral.
Good on the students for protesting. Let's hope it makes a difference!
