Protest!Sit-ins. Walk-outs. Smashing up the headquarters of a major political party. Chaining yourself to the railings outside your local sweet shop because they changed Marathons to Snickers. How have you stuck it to The Man?

I would say that most of thatis down to the serious lack of money to spend in higher education (since the government are preserving spending on compulsory education and health that doesn't leave a lot left over to run the country).
As for Clegg's promises, the cynic in me would say that's politicians for you. Another point of view would be that he had no idea quite how broke we are before getting into government.
As for the foreign students thing, they already pay way more than British students. Do you know what they pay as a proportion of the actual cost of the degree?

About a quarter?People who go to a different country to study SHOULD pay more to fund the local students.

I agreeCan't charge them too much though or no-one would come!
25% does seem like an amazingly good deal. I think I'd be in favour of raising that a bit.
