B3ta Villain of the Year 2010
We voted WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange as B3ta's Person of the Year. Who do you have as 2010's scoundrel and why?

Nobody voted Lib-Dem to in order to get a Tory government
Where I live it's a two-horse race between Lib-Dem and Conservative, and it's usually a pretty close call. Anyone who votes Lib-Dem does it to keep the Tories out. Elsewhere they vote Lib-Dem because they're pissed off with Labour but still hate the Tories. That's a mistake that won't be repeated any time soon, the Lib-Dems are going to be hurting for a long time over this.
We have a government that the public DIDN'T vote for, and the sooner the whole septic, bastard mess is put to sleep with a re-election, the better.
Oh, one last thing: tuition fees. If, back in 1992, I was faced with the then-equivalent of a £36,000 debt at the end of a 4-year degree course, I wouldn't have gone to Uni. Fortunately we still had student grants back then, with the newly-created Student Loans to top them up. I left in 1996 with around a £2,000 (worth about £3,000 today) debt for 4 years' worth of education. Now I'd run more than that up in a semester.
