Got caught up in the Student protest in Town..

I sympathize with their cause the way they have been let down by Clegg and Co, but what struck me , they were nearly all smoking a fag?
How do they afford to do this at nearly £6 a packet, and btw, not all of them were roly's either.

[Booldawg]

one of them was in the local paper after being arrested in the the first protest. He had some double-barred name and resided in a pictureseque village in the New Forest.

I'm not academic and left school at 16 - straight into employment ,however I am able to come up with the following equation;

can't afford uni = get a job.
if job the is rubbish its ok, you're obviously very bright and will climb the ladder hence, a better job.

[Booldawg]

double-barrelled (damn my comprehensive level education)

[cazzz1975]

agree booldawg

Nearly £6 a packet? Wish they were that cheap. Probably smuggled imports. Why do you think the ice cream van only comes round in the winter?

[Bobbisox]

good points boold, I am not against smoking, I used to, quite heavy as well, but I do wonder what their money is going on, that said, they may be under a lot of pressure to do well?

[Bobbisox]

are they dearer than that Mike???

[DEN53]

They were saying on 'Daytime' this morning that there will be a shortage of Doctors in the future, as their Uni courses are longer than most and their fees will amount to more.

[Bobbisox]

I do think theres a case for what they are doing, bloody lying Gov Ministers!!

[cazzz1975]

but surely as doctors on a doctor wage a 9 grand fee should be easier to pay off

[cazzz1975]

doctors earn a good wage, Im sure the fee wont deem them poor..

[Bobbisox]

I didn't see this cazzzz but I would agree, when a Doctor qualifies, £9000 would be a huge burden for him/her tp pay back

[Bobbisox]

sorry <wouldn't>

[berniecuddles]

i dont know how they get time off from work for all these protests!
oh silly me they DONT work or do they??

[Ankou]

well doctors come and go, i fear the inevitable shortage of media studies and history of fine arts graduates in the future.

[Bobbisox]

ha-ha Bernie

[berniecuddles]

if this lot are our future god help us

[cazzz1975]

they bunked off uni ironically..

[craft1948]

The nephew has qualified as a doctor and buggered off to work in NZ......how will they recover his fees?

With a literacy level of 12y olds, our futures look dire relying of them.
